It may be too kiddie for some, but it’s a solid platformer with a great looking world and really inventive puzzles, and above all else it’s a lot of fun. Plus, the voice acting is stellar and I’ve been busting a gut at some of the lines.
It has all the standard components of traditional platform titles but disguises them with clever game design, intuitive character interaction, and constant humor.

Was one of my most memorable game from my childhood. It has the best soundtrack I’ve ever heard in a platformer.

Look out Mario! Tak's in town! No goombas, no koopa-troopas, no capes, no princesses.
Young caveboy Tak explores a vast vegetative world filled with creatures, power ups and puzzles.
This adventure is like no other. Incredible graphics, and a large world to explore make for hours of addictive fun. Watch out Nintendo, before this slept-on goodie takes the top spot!

It’s a confident attempt at tackling the platform genre, but the playing mechanics don’t quite meet the expectations set by the accomplished artwork and graphics.
This game is for the kiddies and most hard-core gamers will not find anything that keeps them playing to the end, but as a game for parents to buy for the youngsters, it's not a bad buy at all.
It does have its charm but it's neither a great game to play nor is it any real shakes to look at.
It’s dull, repetitive and often annoying. Even the kindergarten target audience will find themselves alienated while older gamers will just be bored.
Tak and the power of juju is one of those games that I ever laughed at when I was a kid. It has some funniest moments, funniest diologue and the one of my favourite characters is Jibolba. He's the one who tells a story about the pupanunu people got turned into sheep and he's funny. All the characters are funny too, like Tak, Lok, the juju's and all kinds of them. The only funny character in the franchise is Lok because don't get me wrong, he's the only guy who makes me laugh.
Like the resurrection revenge scene for example where he says
''All of my training has prepared me for this moment. I am ready, Jibolba, for I am the mighty warrior called for by the poo poo! Awww poo poo poo... OHW OHW!
And then he farts which really made me laugh.
Anyways, the tutorial is challenging, getting the plants for Jibolba which that the plants sure looks like the ones from Little Shop of Horrors, the yorbels are hard to find and the moonstones are hard to find too because I have to complete the level which is by defeating Pins and Needles. And the boss is just sooo dawn hard and easy all at the same time. I really enjoyed this game when I was a kid and further than that, the sequels are.

When I first bought Tak and the Power of Juju for my PS2 as a kid, I LAUGHED MY BUTT OFF! The game was just so quirky, hilarious, and overall fun. I have to admit I miss a lot 3d platformer series but this is 1 of those forgotten gems that holds a special place in my childhood.

Tak was such a great game; an integral part of my childhood (even if I wasn't particularly good at it at the time). The world was so engaging and immersive - the art style, character and enemy design, and the catchy music gave it so much character. This game was truly a unique gem with a great sense of humor.

Pros: Rich, colorful graphics and visuals, innovative level design, and thoroughly charming for the younger demographic. Cons: Led by an uninspiring lead with unsatisfying controls and bland appeal for older gamers.
