You are the Kahuna of one of four tribes -- Twitchy, Hottie, Fatty, or Hoodoo -- and you?re battling to win the affections of the testy island goddess. Knock out your rivals by firing shrunken heads down upon them, or attack them with a swirling tornado, fireball, or a land mine. Wage aerial attacks by climbing aboard a toucan or jump on a wild boar and charge them! Through the Smakahuna, Rodeo, and Boar Polo Modes, you and three friends can find out, online or off, who is the baddest Kahuna of all! [Sega]

IGN

Without a doubt, the online experience with Ooga Booga is by far, the best I've experienced on the Dreamcast... yes, even better than "NFL 2K1" and "Phantasy Star Online."

Core Magazine

If you're a recluse, you must get online access, as the online play is amazingly enjoyable.

GamerWeb Sega

It's a perfect game to snap out when you have friends over, since it's quite easy to get into and the online play is as sharp as it can be, providing players with an almost-flawless online experience.

Hot Games

For Dreamcast gamers who like to pilot their systems solo, Ooga Booga just seems like one long, boring trial.

Next Generation Magazine

It’s a surefire blast any time you can get two or more people around the TV. [Dec 2001, p.112]

GamePro

Like "Mario Party," "Bomberman," and "Super Smash Bros." before it, the amusement level in this ridiculous frenzy increases exponentially with the number of people in the room.

Planet Dreamcast

The graphics are smooth and clean, the controls are tight, and the characters are pretty funny. It won't blow your mind, but it's good fun while it lasts.

Electric Playground

Judged as a whole, hardcore audiences could certainly do much better.

GameSpot

A lighthearted and somewhat original game, but it's not quite as addictive as the games it most closely resembles, and its lack of different gameplay modes will cap your desire to keep coming back to it over an extended period of time.

Electronic Gaming Monthly

A competitive and addicting game that’s full of variety, pep, and personality. [Oct 2001, p.150]

Playboy

Unfortunately, repetitious sound bytes and uninspired terrain hamper a decent presentation.

The game has okay grapics the controls are very easy to master, the only thing that bothers me is how long it takes to load.
