5.0 out of 5 stars Tak is great!!, November 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Tak and the Power of JuJu (Video Game)

This game is like a ratchet and clank for the young ones. My kids love it! There are animals to ride and vines to swing on. Their aren't any shoot em up moments. Even my 2 yr old walks around saying TAk TAK Tak! My kids love this game and it gives them some challenge for each age group. My kids are 2, 5, 11. My 5 year old is on the chicken island level but has been to the snowboarding and sandboarding levels.

I would recommend this game to anyone with kids who are looking for something more exciting and challenging for their kids than the run of the mill shoot em up platformers. I hope that Nickelodeon does end up making a cartoon out of this game. I like the interaction with the animals as part of solving this game I think it was fun. The graphics and level design on this game are far superior to any I have seen recently. When tak walks the his shadow work and footprints are really cool. The vines are fun and the cartoons between the levels are so funny. I havent seen a game with this kind of sense of humor either! My one complaint would be the camera work needed a little help but it doesn't get in the way of how the game plays.

So far, my wife and I have not had the chance to play the game yet but I think it will challenge my wife greatly and me some. As a dad, I give this game two thumbs up, finally a game without some of the standard shooting hoopla!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Opening remark from Gamelogik, and I agree!, October 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Tak and the Power of JuJu (Video Game)

This is the opening remark from a critic from gamelogic.
You have not truly lived until you have changed into a chicken suit from inside of a honey bucket. Tak and the Power of JuJu is by far one of the most comical and original platformers to date. Boasting some of the most luscious and breathtaking scenery, this game also offers non-linear 3D gameplay and some crazy funny scripting which is easily apparent as soon as you load up the game.

This sums the game up perfectly!! I would recommend this game to anyone

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Game!!!!!, December 10, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Tak and the Power of JuJu (Video Game)

I think that this game is really well made. Here are my reasons for liking it. To start this game is very advanced as far as the progrming goes. You get to have interaction with the animals and ride on them. You use them to beat the game. The game has quite a bit of personaility and humor which is quite refreshing. The character design and overall feel for the game is incredible. The movies between the levels are hilarious. One complaint is the camera action but I have found this to be a problem in many platformer games. The game is good for kids of all ages and is non violent. This game is a must buy for parents looking for a game WITHOUT VIOLENCE. Girls will appreciate the level where tak has to dance through a puzzle. Boys will appreciate the sandboarding and snowboarding levels. This game is top notch in personality and character.
