The presentation is solid, though it also feels pretty light. Were the game not so difficult, most players would zip through it in only a handful of hours. With a few tweaks, Tornado Outbreak would make an excellent WiiWare title.
-
Each level follows the exact same progression path, and this dull repetition ultimately makes what could have been a great tornado game nothing more than a funnel cloud.
-
Games Master UKA nice twist on the Katamari template, but it soon gets repetitive. [Winter 2009, p.86]
-
The combination of a cute story with straight-forward, extremely rewarding gameplay makes up for the low production values of certain game elements. And, with lots of hidden goodies to find in each stage and drop-in/out local two-player, Tornado Outbreak is ultimately worth the investment.
-
We don't feel it has the same level of charm or replayability of Namco's title, but it's still certainly worth checking out.
-
Nintendo PowerA pretty shameless knockoff of Namco Bandai's Katamari Damacy series, conceptually speaking, but as far as knockoffs go, this one isn't bad. [Nov 2009, p.88]
-
Tornado Outbreak is a fun, unique romp that will intrigue just about any gamer. The quirky story remains entertaining enough to keep you occupied, while the simplistic gameplay will keep you interested throughout its duration. The short campaign is probably my biggest concern, but with the ability to go back through older levels with your new powers is a definite bonus.
