Now, sure, any platformer from this time period would have to be unfairly compared against the gold standard that is Super Mario 64 to which it pales, but even on its own merits I found it to be clunky and not very enjoyable. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Best Tomba Via Tomba was a. Japanese Name: Ore Tomba Well, if you want to play game that is similar to tarzan but more funny and exciting, then you might give this a try. There was just too much Tomba 2 had working against it for me to have fun with it. Im talking about stuff like The Simpsons Wrestling, or the PS1 South Park game. Description: Tomba is a Adventure/Platformer 2D video game published by Whoopee Camp released on June 30th, 1998 for the Sony PlayStation. What was welcome is that every line of dialogue in the game is voiced! Now the voice acting quality is much more miss than hit, and the audio breaks between sentences make conversations feel awkward, but it’s still nice to have. General sound effects are nothing special but the fit the game just fine. Luckily, the sound department fares better. At its best the music in Tomba 2 is “occasionally bearable” and at its worst it’s an offense to the senses. Oh boy… I can’t remember the last time I’ve actually had to turn my sound bar off to keep from stabbing myself in the ears. We even get a nice little pre-rendered intro! That’s not to say the game looks fantastic by any stretch, but it’s certainly more than adequate It’s hard to find any real faults as the camera generally behaves and there’s no glaring graphical flaws. Tomba 2 manages to give us a pretty basic Save the Girl story that incorporates some fun characters and basic quests while never coming off as intrusive of the actual game itself.įor its time, the game looks about as good as is to be expected. I typically appreciate just about any platformer where the story is more than “Go run right and jump on things”. As a result, everything feels a lot more difficult than it needs to be, and genuinely fun patches of platforming feel few and far between. Tomba 2 is a playable game, but only just, and while the controls do eventually start to become workable they never really feel natural.Ī lot of this is due to the fact that Tomba 2 never really commits to any particular kind of platformer, and while it does try to accommodate the player in this regard, it just never clicks. While the game does do some interesting things with the platforming genre such as moving things forward with linear quests and incorporating an inventory system, it’s the controls themselves that ultimately lead to a lot of frustration.
