![]() But the fun simply doesn’t materialize in the game as a whole. ![]() ![]() There are a number of weapons and power-ups that allow you to do genuinely fun things like the pole vault and the palm tree catapult. It’s just tough to do and that can be frustrating when you’re in the middle of a puzzle. This is a common move in games like this but I’ve never seen it done so poorly. Another example is swinging from vine to vine. In fact, you can get through the levels without saving a single one! Kind of makes you wonder why you should save any of them at all. For instance, you need to save sheep throughout the game but you don’t need to save all of them. It’s the overall package I have a problem with. The gameplay itself can’t really be faulted for anything in particular. You move Tak around 8 worlds (and over 35 levels) in search of stolen magical moonstones and fellow villagers who have been turned into sheep by the evil Tlaloc - a miffed shaman who is out for revenge against the village that rejected him.Īrmed with your blow gun, the ability to mind-meld with animals and a chicken suit that shoots exploding eggs (a dream of mine to be frank) everything would seem to be there for a fun romp. The controls of the game are simple enough with the A and B buttons being jump and attack and the thumbpad moving the little guy around the screen. If only the same focus went into making the game play like Rayman 3. The lush backgrounds that make Rayman such a joy are similarly rich in Tak. Beautiful palettes and fluid animations cover the screen. Like the Rayman series before it, Tak takes full advantage of the graphics capabilities of the Gameboy Advanced hardware. Sever license, the world of Tak is starting out as a game but there are plans for a Nick cartoon. Developed by Nick Games and Helixe, Tak and the Power of Juju is a side scroller with good production value that ends up being lost in the repetitive trap of so many current side scrollers.
