| The Greatest Video Games - Revisited [ToeJam and Earl II: Panic on Funkatron] | |
![]() | We want the funk! Give up the funk! |
What happens when a game sells out![]() This is a very hard game to review. It bears no similarity to TJ + Earl I. The interesting concept and humerous gameplay that made the first game such a success are gone in the sequel. Instead what we have is a side-scrolling crapfest in which the programmers tried to do something completely different. The first game was enjoyable because the game was a tongue-in-cheek mockery of the silliness of the early nineties, while the second game tries to take the 'funky' image seriously and absolutely drowns us in it.
The goal is to get the earthlings out of TJ + Earl's home planet of Funkatron by capturing them in jars. There are good parts to this game; the gameplay is excellent, there are tons of levels, tons of secrets, and tons of different characters, but the game is a dissapointment in that it is so unlike its highly successful predecessor. |
