I find you mentioning things like JJ2 having a lot more features "but one can live without them" rather weak, especially when special moves are rather quite significant in jj2 and virtually all the levels made and played nowadays take them into consideration. The features actually are useful, whether you think so or not, and disregarding them for no reason doesn't make much sense. By your arguements. you could say that JJ2 has much better graphics, music, and more advanced gameplay then pacman, but one could live without all those factors so all of that doesn't matter.
