    Tak: The Great JuJu Challenge takes a fairly average platforming formula and puts a unique turn with it, making each level a race against the clock where speed is of the essence, but so is exploration.

    To Avalanche Software's credit, The Great Juju Challenge represents a valid step towards a final acclimatisation.

    Its main issue is a lack of originality in an increasingly stale genre. Where THQ tries to innovate, they do not execute well enough to rationalize buying Tak over any other 3D platformer.

    The Great Juju Challenge is respectable with some high moments, but the last set of levels aren't quite as fun, and the final Proving Grounds battle is outright frustrating and repetitive.

    The controls felt loose and sluggish, and so did the rest of the game.

    Tak 3 certainly has some adorable moments, but they're overshadowed by a frustrating design and sloppy gameplay mechanics.

It was one of the first few coop games that managed to do so in a sense where you actually had to work together, one person couldn't beat the game on his own if the other person didn't want to help. It wasn't a shooter where one person could do all the work. It was amazing the feeling of playing this game with my brother, it brought us so close. We laughed so much because certain parts of the games we managed to exploit. This was before the internet so my brother and I would try everything to get glitches to work. This by far has to be one of my most played games of all time which is pretty amazing. This game earned a perfect score. Not because the graphics were good, not because the gameplay was perfect. It was just so simple and it brought my brother and I close and it was truly fun, we didn't play the game just to beat it, we didn't play it to reach a certain point, we played it for fun and that is one of the greatest feelings. Not many games can do that for me but this was one of them. The music was good, the coop was beyond fun, a great game in my memory.… Full Review »
