Tak and the Power of Juju (Sony PlayStation 2, 2003)

My seven year old son loves to play this game. If my seven yeard old (PS2 pro) can play it and has a hard time beating the game then it was worth every penny. I purchase all my Playstation 2 games for my son on ebay and always find a great deal. This was a good buy

I got this game for my better half after an act of gravity claimed her previous copy. Wondering why she likes it so much, I popped it in and tried it. Afterwards, I'm still wondering why she likes it so much.

The content is kinda funny, I'll give it that, and the controls easy enough, and the appearance is rather good for a PS2 game, but everything else... well, the only word that seems to sum it up is "annoying".

Honestly, it feels like someone took a basic platformer's controls and graphics engine, stripped away everything else, and added the touch of television licensing. There are so few options that I'm surprised there's the ability to save easily. Something just so easy as inverting the camera controls are missing, making it difficult to see where the heck you're going.

For the younger crowds who don't have a current-generation system, this is a good pick. And even if they have a PS3, if they can play PS2 games, this is a decent choice.

My favorite games are action-adventure/cartoon type (Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly, etc.) so when I read a review I want to know: is it fun, yet challenging enough for an adult?
Yes, so fun that I got addicted to the series and played Tak 1,2 & 3 practically non-stop. And, yes, challenging (oooh, the profanity coming from my mouth on some parts!). One big plus this game has over Tak 2 & 3 is that you can use a warp gate to return to areas for missed items. Definitely has replay value!

This is a cute little game. The story line is that there is a problem and everyone has turned to sheep. You the hero, Tak, must go though many levels of primeval forest and such on a quest to change them back.

I bought the game for my 4 1/2 yr old daughter. She is still a little young for it so my husband & I are slowly teaching her how to play it. The game overall is cute & simple enough in content that she gets the idea & can do some of it on her own. I do like the game as a whole it is great!
