Pac-Man Vs. is a Pac-Man video game that was included as a bonus extra with the Player's Choice edition of Pac-Man World 2. It has its own GameCube disc. The game itself utilizes the GameCube's connectivity with the Game Boy Advance, and as such cannot be played without said Game Boy Advance and a certain cable designed to link the two devices. One player controls Pac-Man on their GBA, which gives them a view of the entire maze (or most of it, on the larger ones) while the others control the ghosts onscreen with the Gamecube controllers, with each ghost player only able to see a little around them (and, of course, a little around their ghost allies, since they are all displayed on the same screen). The most interesting part about the game, however, is that if a ghost player catches Pac-Man, that player switches with the Pac-Man player -- in other words, the two of them switch controllers, with the ghost player taking the GBA -- and the ghost player then plays as Pac-Man until he suffers the same fate. (This mechanism has the unfortunate side-effect of tangling the cords on the Gamecube an awful lot, unless of course one is using wireless controllers.) ...more on Wikipedia about "Pac-Man Vs."

The user maneuvers his creation around the playing field by drawing walls, which in turn direct the Pac-Man in a new direction towards the monsters. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pac-Pix"
