Game Review: Tak and the Guardians of Gross.

JUJU MAKE ME GO CRAZY. tak box
Alright lets get one thing out of the way, I enjoy video games regardless of the age and gender they are created for.  If it is a good game then I will classify it as a good game.  In my books there is no such thing as a ” I guess for a kids game this is alright.” You wanna know why? Because even simple kids games have to abide by some sort of standard.  And don’t get me started on those pre-preschooler games… at that young  age you shouldn’t be playing games in the first place. I played Super Mario Land for the Gameboy when I was 6, it was challenging, immersible, and got me to love games ever since.

Now that’s not to say Tak and the guardians of gross is a game designed for kids, I honestly wish that were not the case but tons of things within the game lead me to believe the only person to get some mild joy out of the title would be someone around that age.

The game is the third story iteration in Tak series and after a long hiatus now returns to the Wii.  Developed by Blitz games and published by THQ this game sports the nickelodeon splat right on the box letting us know that this is a fine game based on the cartoon based on the game.. In fact one of the special extras on the disc is an episode of the cartoon. READ MORE »
