    ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is so similar to the original version released in 1991 that it fails to deliver the needed innovations that would have gave a new appeal to the game, instead of this dated gameplay that will bore any un-nostalgic gamer.

    Fans of the original Sega Genesis titles will probably find a lot to like about ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove. The rest of us, unfortunately, will need to fight off waves of annoyance and irritation while trying to determine what all the fuss is about.

    It's an absolute joy, and one you can share with up to three other friends online or at your side (though I sadly didn't get to try co-op yet). There are plenty of games that do ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove's basic schtick, but the charming world, outlandish characters, and weird-but-cool presents system deliver an amusing and surprisingly sticky twist. Just so long as you can get down with the funk.

    As an old fan of the series, T&J BiG feels just as fun as the 90s original. It is expanded, full of personality and prettier.

    I enjoyed this game for sure, but the long load times hurt it's score, the lack of polish hurts it's score, and the limited replay value hurtsI enjoyed this game for sure, but the long load times hurt it's score, the lack of polish hurts it's score, and the limited replay value hurts it's score.

    With that though, it's a good remake of the original. I like the addition of new characters after you beat the game, though I am disappointed in the fact that there's only a few. Unlocks in general are pretty limited.    … Full Review »
