Tomba

Tomba is a short,pink-haired, pig f***ing (really) adolescent male out on a mission to retrieve his grandpa's bracelet. How he lost it in the first place is explained in a beatiful animated introduction. After that, prepare yourself for some serious RPG/platforming and sum gud pig luvin'. Sooooooooooooeeeee!!

GRAPHICS: Nice, bright, well-animated sprites and some pretty anime cut scenes.

SOUND: Humorous sound effects but somewhat cheezy, forgettable tunes.

CONTROL: This is where it really shines, controls so responsive, they rival those of any Castelvania title.

GAMEPLAY: A great RPG/action-platform hybrid with an unusual storyline, above-average translation and supremely playable. Add to that the 100+ tasks you can accomplish during your quest, some optional some not, and you've got some serious replay value. Definitely worth a pick-up.

GRAPHICS: 8 SOUND: 7 CONTROL: 9 GAMEPLAY: 9 OVERALL: 9

Boy, did this come out of nowhere. Sometimes the best games are the least hyped. An' thats muh bit o' wisdum' fer tha day!
