Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness 2

Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness 2 is a cancelled game, which was in development around 2005. It was planned for release on various platforms: including the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Nintendo DS, PSP, and PC. It was going to be the sequel to Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness.
== Development and Cancellation ==
Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness 2 was seemingly never announced to the public, at least to a wide scale; with information about the title only surfacing long after its cancellation. A short video of the game was uploaded to the "Unseen64" YouTube channel in 2009; featuring the title screen, several animations, and a low-quality gameplay video."Ms PacMan Maze Madness 2 (CANCELLED! - GC/XBOX/PS2)" (Unseen64)
Several development tools for Maze Madness 2 were created by "CSA3D", mainly to assist in production of the Nintendo DS version of the game. These include a "Proxy World" level editor"Proxy World Level Editor" on CSA3D (archive.org), an animated GIF maker"Maya Animated GIF Maker" on CSA3D (archive.org), and a "Wire Editor"[citation needed]. All tools were produced based on "Maya 5.0" architecture. Several videos were also published by animator Kiel Figgins (on his "3dfiggins" website), though the raw clips are no longer archived.https://web.archive.org/web/20170825051037/http://www.3dfiggins.com/Archive/pages/pacMan.html It appears that these two sources are where the content of the Unseen64 clips originated from.
While numerous reasons have been circulated regarding Maze Madness 2's cancellation, the main factor behind the game being scrapped is simply that its lead development company, TKO Software, went out of business in August 2005; with the game not being finished before that point. Combined with the (at-the-time pending) litigation regarding Ms. Pac-Man, and the upcoming formation of Namco Bandai Games, there was likely little that could be done to complete the game for release.
== Trivia ==
*A page for Maze Madness 2 was featured on the website of "Method Solutions"; a sister company to TKO software, that was still in business following TKO's closure. Oddly, its title and description are reflective of the first Maze Madness game, though is properly listed as Maze Madness 2 in the "Products" list.https://web.archive.org/web/20061216033313/http://www.method-solutions.com/game_MsPacManMaze.html
