After playing the game myself at ComicCon, these are my thoughts.

Relation with PMW games:
-The objective of the game is for you to run, jump and eat your way through each level to the end. At the end there will either be a Namco token waiting for you (like Pac-Man World 1 on PlayStation) or a fruit of some sort. However, like Pac-Man World 2, collecting tokens will unlock you arcade games.
-Like Pac-Man World 2, there's an emphasis on free-roaming and exploring each level. However, there's a lot more of it here. The levels get really big very early and leave you with a lot of space to interact with.
-Also like Pac-Man World 2, a lot of the platforming involves various hazards that generate a sense of danger. It's not quite as exhillerating as Pac-Man World 2's platforming but it definitely is great and it's awesome to see some of the platforming tricks in that game return.
-Okay, ALSO LIKE IN PAC-MAN WORLD 2, there's a Mario 3 like map system but you have an area of diversion to explore, fool around in, and play arcade games (in this case, the school from the show). Though, the stage progression is less linear and you have a lot of freedom when it comes to what levels you play.
-Like in Pac-Man World 3, Pac-Man talks. When you're going through the tubes, for example, he'll usually exclaim something like "AWESOME!" or "WHOO-HOO-HOO!". Sometimes when picking up a powerup of some kind he'll also say something appropriate for that specific powerup (usually a one-liner). Thankfully, he isn't a whining, sex-joke-spewing downer like he was in World 3. His lines can get a pretty cheesy at times but it never reaches "My Pac-Sense is tingling" levels of aggravation.

Other games it's similar to (Aside from Pac-Man World 2):
Super Mario Galaxy, 3-D Rayman games (Rayman 3 in particular), Sonic Adventure 2
