We got Tak 3 the other day, and my 7 and 12 year old can't stop playing. The fact that they can both play at once, and that they have to depend on each other to get through the game levels is the big selling point. Great voice overs by Loc (the guy from "The Tick") and a humerous story line really help it out too.Great family game.
The music is easily listenable to; I don't get bored or tired of listening to it, even after a while. Un-cliched plot (You're not trying to save the world)Cons:1. As always, extremley nice graphics8. I know the experience wouldn't have been the same without lauhging with my sister over the level challenges.PROS & CONSPros:1. Keeps a balance of easy and hard4. Smooth dialogue8.
The dialogue is smooth, funny, and seems well thought-out. I haven't tried playing this by myself, and while I know it's probably stil very fun, I would recommend playing this with a friend or a family member.GAMEPLAYThis game brings back the classic platforming element of the first two games, but it adds the twist of being able to play as either Lok and/or Tak. Variety of worlds and puzzles6. The gameplay is very solid; you get tons of different Juju powers and attacks to help you through the levels. It's definitely a keeper. INTRO.Honestly, this game is one of the most fun I have ever played. I loved that addition to the game because it was just so much fun laughing and playing through the game with my sister.
No glitches I know of5. I tried it out with my sister, and we both had a blast switching off between Tak and Lok, yelling, "It's this way." or, "Toss me up here." or "No, no, throw the barrel THAT way.". I enjoyed how the game kept a balance of too difficult and too easy. Nice, Tak-style fighting/Juju moves2. Two people can play, or just one.
Added two-player gameplay makes it more fun7. You might get a little frustrated, but it gives you enough ways to figure out what the problem is. Brings back classic Tak platforming element3. This game gives you so many levels and variety of challenges that you won't find yourself slogging through the game like you just want it to be over. It might give you a break, but it'll get you thinking before long.
Like I said, although the game is very fun, maybe try someone to play it with. It might get a bit tiring/frustrating/not as fun if you play without a partner.OVERALLBuy this game.
My 5 year old son and I have had a ball playing this game. It has it's frustrating moment, but overall it has been a great way for my son and I to experience team play. I highly recommend this game to any father who wants to play a game with his son, before the son goes far beyond the Father's capabilities.
My husband and I (29 & 24) enjoyed playing this game together. There is no adult humor of any kind, but a few farts and burps, if that isnt' your style. I would suggest this game for any age. We are kids at heart, and can't keep our hands off our ps2 if we find a good 2 player game for it. There aren't a lot of multiplayer games out there, but this is one of the best of the few. We just laughed.Enjoy.
The catch is, to accomplish your objectives, you have to work together as a team to accomplish them. It's a real blast playing the game co-op with another person but, at times, can be a frustrating experience if played alone. One thing that bothers me, though, is how people can overlook a good family friendly series such as this(as well as the Ty series) when the games that have came out have consistently gotten better each time. Yet, if you'll notice the box, it doesn't have a 3 attached to the title anywhere. So, while it might not be quite like the first two Tak games, it's still a challenging platformer that adds a fresh new perspective to the Tak games and will surely be loved by kids and adults alike.
Tak and Lok both have different Juju powers they'll possess to make it through the game. While it, still, may not be pushing the envelope; per se, in the platforming genre- the series is still a solid, well-made, enjoyable gameplay experience. I love it just as much as I loved the first two games. Like the Nintendo DS Tak game, much of The Great Juju Challenge's strength comes from the challenges you face. If you're wondering why.well, this game isn't quite like the first two games. Thanks to THQ and Avalanche; We're blessed with a third Tak game. Tak and his partner Lok are from the Pupanunu tribe, and it's your goal to have them capture as many prizes as possible.
I absolutely love the games. See, in this game, every 60 years- competitors from far away lands take part in an Olympic-style event to gain favor of the mighty Moon Juju Goddess. Despite that, Tak: The Great Juju Challenge is a great game. The idea is to finish each area with the most time and points in order to beat the competing tribes. Along the way, you'll see the likes of characters from past games as well as new ones in the forms of others tribes like the Black Mist tribe, the JibbaJabba tribe, or the Grammazon tribe.
So, if one can't accomplish the objective, you have to figure out how you can between the both of you. As you work through the challenges, you'll be able to go through new checkpoints and gain time to finish other areas. The multiplayer co-op is a good thing that is added in, as well, so not just one but two people can play to make it through The Great Juju Challenge. I hope we still continue to see the Tak series flourish on the current as well as the next generation systems.
