Tak 3 DS - quick review

Matlock

Banned
+Good graphics
+Great 3D engine in general
+Good gameplay with combos and a slight rpg mode
+Nice ambient sound, up to par with Mario 64
+Minigames that use the DS capabilities smartly

-One big glitch that's almost gamebreaking*
-Boring soundtrack
-Cheap enemy AI
-3 hours long

? There's a zoo-keeper style game you can play seperate from the game, but it only has 6 levels for unlocking stuff. Why isn't there an open mode?

Score: 7


*There's a part with a sheep you have to throw into a hamster wheel. It's hard as hell to do this, as the opening to the wheel is glitchy. As well, you're supposed to find another sheep--until I saved and reset the game, there wasn't a sheep respawning.

I experienced a horrible game-breaking glitch in Sphinx and it's left its mark on me since. Sorry Tak.
 
Nice. Now do Tak 3 GBA. Make sure to mention it's by Wayforward, developers of the horrible SIGMA STAR SAGA.

If it's anything like Tak 2 GBA, it'll be an abyssmal platformer with no logical hit detection.
 
Yes but does it have...

I must have missed that version, I got the "excellent ideas, flawed execution" release.

Is there a third type?
You must have the superior Hong Kong version. I got the one where my ship constantly explodes for no reason.

You actually get saddled with a random ship. I'm not sure why.
