Tak 2
This game has been fun to play. My 6yr old son and I have been taking turns playing the game as a team. Challanging enough and yet playable to the point that he hasn't given up for being too hard to play. I DONT CARE My boys love it they say they could rate the game ovewrall better had they finished it already....otherwise they like it! Fun Game INTRO. I know that some people (if I may quote the other reveiwer, Mr. B.,) think this game is 'not easy for normal humans', but seriously, it is a good game! Don't base it on whether a level or two is challenging. Would you like it better if it was a piece of cake? I sure as heck wouldn't. (To be fair, I did have some trouble with levels: Rift River, some parts of the Planetarium, etc.) GAMEPLAY Tak 2 plays very nicely, as far as games go. Environments and animals and people are so nicely done, and the levels are varied, not like you're in one area for the whole game. The music is easily listenable to, not like some other obnoxious video game music, example being Kingdom Hearts Traverse Town music. (Forigve me!) The fighting system is basically button mashing at the beginning, but it develops as you get new juju powers and learn combo attacks. I also enjoyed the animal changing parts of the game...true, some parts were unbeliveably annoying (like when you're a flying squirrel, juju runs out and you plummet to your death kind annoying.) but I still liked the idea of being able to change into bears, squirrels, frogs, and boars. This game's graphics do the animators credit. It's awesome how Tak's moves look so realistic when he's in water, or in mud, or tipetoeing, or jumping, or whatever. PROS AND CONS Pros: 1. Amazing animation 2. Funny dialouge 3. For once, a game with good music 4. Nice fighting system 5. Awsome animal changes 6. Just darn fun to play and beat! Cons: 1. Some really hard killer levels...I had a ton of trouble with the darts in Gloomleaf Swamp...bleh. 2. A few glitches and bugs in this game. 3. Augh! Loading times! OVERALL I'd definitely say buy it, if not rent it. It's really fun and has a ton of replay value. please, don't rescue failed development.... ...obviously this game nearly never was. brilliant graphics, cool story, humorous dialog (especially if your a fan of this kind a thing e.g jak...) its just a pity its so rubbish: you've defeated loads of woodies and now face their boss. a hint tells you to wait until his weapon is stuck in the ground and attack him from behind. this you do, and in defeating him you succeed. but wait, nothing else happens, no new enemies, no cut scene. have you missed something? no. the game has failed to realise your success and continues to inform you of a hint about how to succeed in what you've already accomplished. the only way forward is to jump of a ledge at start the scene again, win and hope this hack of a title lets you continue. that's how this game runs. obviously the original developers had hoped for more, but who ever took over obviously couldn't give a ?#*!. whats more i don't think its age rating gives much indication. this is scary for a 3++++ child: scary dream monsters and a battle against them (that cant be won - even by the accompanying adult helping them) one to be missed!!! Tak, why have you got me hooked into your games? Yes, I love this game so much! Play Sly 2 for four hours and this for four hours! Tak 3 is coming out later in 2005! Now if you like Maximo the poor loser than this will make you hate ol' killjoy Maximo! The only levels that upset me is Silverfin River, Ballam Falls, and Pomendium Gates. So don't rent it! play the great victory of TAK 2! I took the liberty to show you four levels from Tak 2. Moon Juju Interlude Gyre Mountain Skyrock Crater. Pachyderm Shrine The best thing about Tak 2 are the graphics. Tlaloc the sheep is mad and he gets The Nightmare Scepter while you throw away your thwark and get The Dream Catcher! Plus you get mini~games! P.S. get a very bright memory card! You will need it! | |
