mediocre, if anything

I have played tomba before and it just doesnt do anything for me. It is very confusing how whenever you meet somebody new, they assign you a new mission, even if your not finished with your old one, and you're never quite sure what you are supposed to be doing. Plus, the graphics are a strange combination of 2D and 3D. For example, near the beginning, there is a fence that you walk along. at one point, you can get on the other side of the fence, but you can only see tomba's head because the camera angle is parralell to the fence. Plus, the little pig guys are more of a plain old annoyance than true enemies. If you like strange games, you might like this one, but if you are a beginner or a hard core action gamer, like myself, you probobly won't like this game very much.

I bought tomba used.

... When I bought the game I expected the whole game what I got was just a demo tape. I was very upset when I found out. Sellers should let people know if a game is a demo or not before buying. ...I love to play Tomba but I will be more careful when buying anything from the market place sellers. So buyer beware what you are buying used from the market place sellers. thank you.

18 year old still loves this "childish" game

I bought this game for my younger, 10 year old brother. The graphics were very simplistic and colorfull, obviously designed for children. However, after watching him play for a few days, I decided to begin my own game. And what I discovered was one of the most adictive, and difficult games I have ever played. It seems like a simple, childish game at first; however it progresses into much more. Like a 2-D zelda game, it gives the player the ability to explore a multitude of worlds. Yet it is far more challenging than any zelda game that i have ever played. It gives the player that great feeling of discovery, be it of a new level or weapon, that continues throught the gameplay. I am disapointed that I am only the first review of this game. Please, buy this game. It is truely one of the unknown gems of the gaming world.

Fun for a 7 year old or a 21 year old

First, I have to say that I love this game. My little brother (he is 7, I'm 21) discovered the game on a demo disk that came with our Playstation. As soon as we got it we both had to start a game. The game is simplistic enough that he could play on his own but challenging enough that I never lost interest in the game. The individual "events" that you have to clear can sometimes be a little difficult to figure out, but usually the supporting characters that you "talk" to in the game give you enough hints to work out the solution.

This game is great, except for the fact that it is 2 years old. I mean, come on, this game already has a sequel out for it and it's still priced at 40 dollars. That's ridiculous! I guess I'll have to buy it at EBWorld or Best Buy

The best game I've played so far!

I play a lot of games, and it seems like since I've played Tomba, nothing compares to it. It's an extreme strategy game that takes some brains to figure out. It's an absolutely incredible game, and now that it's so hard to find, it really stinks. My cd's keep wearing out from playing so much and I have to buy the game over and over again at $20 a pop cause it's so rare. Play Tomba! and love it!

Pink-Haired Fun

From first sight of the pink-haired hero, you can tell this is no ordinary game! Tomba must save his land from the Evil Pigs that have invaded it. Along the way, he must collect important objects, rescue people and animals, and be sure to check every nook, cranny, and sign post, because there is always more than meets the eye. You must reach certain checkpoints to save the game, and be careful not to miss them! You will enjoy the colorful cartoonish scenery and the many characters you will meet along Tomba's quest. The game can be a bit confusing at times, and you can get turned around in the wrong direction, but otherwise is a comic quest in video games.

Tomba is the single best game ever made for playstation. Though it seems outwardly childish, the game is Challenging, and hillarious. I had to download a 17 page strategy guide just to beat it. Seriously though, BUY THIS GAME! I have never played a better video game, and this provides hours of fun. I have had it for 2 years, and I have played it through at least 20 times, and it never gets old.

The best game ever!

I can say, in all honesty and truth, this is the best game I've ever played. Wheee! Tomba power! It's so addictive, I couldn't put it down once I picked it up! I mean, who couldn't love a green-pants wearin' pink-haired wild boy that goes around beating the crap out of evil pigs!! Yay! Buy this game! It's so rare to find these days, get it while you can!
