Tak and the Power of Juju Critic Reviews

It may be too kiddie for some, but it’s a solid platformer with a great looking world and really inventive puzzles, and above all else it’s a lot of fun. Plus, the voice acting is stellar and I’ve been busting a gut at some of the lines.

Overall, it looks terrific, but there are some issues. Environments are a bit blocky, textures are a bit drab, and there are some noticeable framerate hitches, but Tak and the Power of Juju still looks great despite these faults.

Tak is incredibly fun to play.

It's solid gameplay along with the comical and loveable characters make Tak an overriding success. Outstanding graphics and a splendid voice acting dialogue are all apart of a package that appeals to the masses.

Tak is one of the most detailed platformers I've ever seen, and possesses a measure of style that sets the universe apart, akin to what Michel Ancel accomplished with "Rayman."

It has all the standard components of traditional platform titles but disguises them with clever game design, intuitive character interaction, and constant humor.

If you only have a PS2 and thus cannot get Zelda, TPJ will fill the gap adequately; however I don't imagine big brothers and big sisters will find it as magical and likeable as their annoying and bratty counterparts.

While certainly nothing for the self proclaimed 'hardcore' to worry about, those looking for some light fun will be more than content with Tak and his shit-eating grin.

Perhaps it's because of the goofy main character, a humorous plot line, or some creative ways to present age old puzzles, but you're compelled to play through Tak.

Will give younger players a lot of replay time, but it is not a title for older gamers.

It’s a confident attempt at tackling the platform genre, but the playing mechanics don’t quite meet the expectations set by the accomplished artwork and graphics.

It's a well crafted, if not overly ambitious, jungle adventure.

Casual gamers will be able to tear through Tak quickly, but younger children might find some of the puzzles frustrating.

The entire experience, to me, felt like I was playing through the tutorial – for the second time. However, children ten and under could learn to love the relaxed, fairly undemanding, nature of Tak.

After a few hours, the boredom sets in, and the number of reasons you have for wanting to beat the damn thing is less than one. It's just not fun enough.

The game's got a distinctive look to it, and some good moments, but some tedious collection tasks and exploration elements drag the game down.

Tak becomes more pedestrian and predictable as each area unfolds.

Patience is required to get through this game.

This game is for the kiddies and most hard-core gamers will not find anything that keeps them playing to the end, but as a game for parents to buy for the youngsters, it's not a bad buy at all.

An excellent example of a "slacker" game: it gets as little done as it can while making sure it fills its quota so it can be out the door for the day. There isn't a thing new here and it makes no attempt to improve the genre.
