Summary

Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams will continue following Tak on his adventures against evil. However, players will take on the role of a more experienced Tak as he goes on an epic adventure that will require him to learn all new Juju magic in order to recover the Nightmare Scepter and defeat the evil shaman, Tlaloc, once and for all. Players will maneuver Tak as he's armed with new Juju abilities. He will master the ancient Juju magic of the animals, allowing him to possess various creatures and turn himself into a Spirit Animal. This innovative sequel will also feature nine interactively designed linear environments and a returning cast of favorite characters, along with three brand new Juju gods and the introduction of Jibolba's brother, JB. Nine new Nightmare Creatures will also help to further the action. In addition, Tak will be outfitted with new Juju powered artifacts, including the powerful Dream Shaker, which affords him the power to close dream rifts. [THQ]

The balance of difficulty is also all over the place.

Cheat Code Central

An average platformer that is really difficult to recommend to anyone other than fans of Tak. It's not bad but it's not very memorable.

Gamezilla!

An unimaginative platformer and action game with a wildly unbalanced difficulty and nothing that would make you want to keep or even finish the game.

If you’re looking for a gift for a child, look elsewhere, unless you like watching them break systems.

Gaming Age

Jumping puzzles come up a bit lame as well. The most dangerous looking sections are easily skipped via the Spirit of Air’s short flight time, which is a fairly gross oversight.
