    In the Great Juju Challenge there wasn't an error with the villain. Crug, the short dude with wild hair and the Dark Juju Travis are different characters. If you pay attention about half way through the game Crug's voice changes because they switched places. There's even a side story line where you find Crug if you revisit some old levels.

    Wow, that was a really informative retrospective! I've always been curious about the franchise since my brother and I used to play Tak 2 on the GBA when we were younger. We loved the game's aesthetics, but we never got the chance to explore the rest of the series. Nowadays, it seems like Tak is a bit forgotten. I'm not even sure if the TV show ever made it to Germany, where I'm from. So, seeing everything (even the GBA games) covered so well in a nicely structured and well-written video was everything I was hoping for. Keep up the great work! You definitely earned a sub from me :)

    Finished watching the whole thing! I've been on a Tak binge recently and I thought you covered everything thoroughly and well. It makes me so happy to see these games get love from people that aren't me lol, whenever I tell my friends about Tak they have no idea what I'm talking about. I've never seen anyone talk about the handheld ports or Guardians of Gross and I thought those parts were very interesting since I've never played them myself. Never had any interest in playing them but I may have to check out Great Juju Challenge on DS now. Good job on the video man, my only complaint is you didn't cover the McDonald's toys lol

  • @FoxerTails

    Took me a few sittings but I eventually was able to finish this episode!
    As for my experience with Tak, I remember seeing commericals for his games on the few Nickelodeon VHS and DVDs I had growing up.
    My reaction was basically, "Oh hey, that looks cool. I wouldn't mind checking it out." But never did get any of the games.
    Fast forward to when the show came out, I recognized Tak and decided to watch it. And... yeah... it wasn't too good.
    Although one aspect of it that I remember is that everytime it was on TV, it would be the same four episodes. It never showed any different or new ones.
    Perhaps it was just down to what time I watched them which was always after coming home from school and going to my grandparent's house to watch TV for an hour to two. But it felt like for months it was the same episodes.
    It got to the point where I practically knew all the lines.
    But aside from that, that's basically my experience with it.
    That's why when you said you were working on a Tak retrospective, I was quite excited because even as an adult, I was curious on what he had to offer game wise.
    A tad long of a video for my personal preference but I understand why since you put all the reviews together rather than each game having their own episode.
    Still a great review!
    I'd gather that the PS2 versions of the first few games were probably the best performance wise though.

    • @CommandPromptGaming
      @CommandPromptGaming  2 роки тому +1

      Only seeing the same four episodes of the Tak show must be what awaits us all on the bottom level of hell, lol.
      And yeah, it was a little long for me too. I was getting a tad burnt out towards the middle chunck. My friends and I actually started playing Fortnite during the production too. So that acted as a good break as well as a distraction. But I don't think I'll be making another long video for a while. The other reason I put them all together is simply because long videos are doing well on UA-cam right now🤷🏻‍♂️.
      BUT. As always, I really appreciate the support, dude❤️.

I'm not the only one that wants the nerbils back, granted I like them for a different reason (I think the nerbils are adorable) but also a far better challenge than woodies or rockies and the nerbils had better designs and variety and I would've loved to have seen the nerbil species expand in diversity, I even made the game harder by not killing nerbils except when it was absolutely necessary for progression

    am I the only one that finds the nerbils adorable? OwO also I play the game without killing any as much as possible, with the acception of the sun temple as that requires it but since people find ways to break old games for challenges, there's probably a way for me to completely play the game without killing any nerbils, but I hated how the nerbils were replaced with woodies and rockies, they are not as creative and just got stale with the rest of the franchise

      Isn't that nickelodeon thing? There was a pretty big drama about that regarding I Carly. Personally, when I saw the feet scenes CPG put I felt grossed. As a kid I'd probably laugh because it's so random, but knowing the context + hearing there's no good moral or character progress in the show it's all just disgusting.
