Tak 2 Screens - looks great

I think this might be the best looking platformer coming out.

Damn. Dare I say it?

Good art :O.

I just said "art" to be the first one to say it. :p
But the game isn't that bad art-wise, except for the main character, who looks like ass. Too bad he's the one you'll be seeing through the entire game. :p

some of those screens remind me of Rayman 2.
I was going to say it looks like a poor man's Rayman. Which isn't entirely a bad thing, but not the best platformer this year...you got Jak III and Ratchet.

I'd say this game's environment art outclasses Jak III and R&C III by a fair margin.
It just seems more detailed and more interesting.

I was going to say the same =)
Watching that kid with the pathetic look for a prolonged time might put me on a bad mood.

Backgrounds kinda remind me of this:

Kya looks like a mix between Tak and Jak. This shot especially.
It's like somebody mixed the two games, then took a crap on it.

Graphically or gameplay wise?

Kya looked quite good in movement.
Gameplay was unpolished in many ways, but I found it overall pleasant.

Kameo looks interesting, except for the small faces in the top right corner.

Did anyone actually play the first game? I picked up the demo, and it was one of the worst platformers I've had the misfortune of playing. Right up there with the worst parts of Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly.

Hmmm... IGN liked it.
9.0 Presentation
Great production values, character designs, voice acting and humor -- Tak has style.

8.0 Graphics
Great detail, animation, and it looks like a Nickelodeon cartoon -- oh wait, it will be.

8.0 Sound
The music and voice acting are great, but the sound effects are minimal and get repetitive.

8.0 Gameplay
Standard platform fare infused with a unique style of animal based puzzles.

4.0 Lasting Appeal
You can unlock concept art if you 100% the game, but there's little reason to don the chicken suit again.

8.2 OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)
