We'd be dreaming if we said Tak 2 was a groundbreaking platforming masterpiece, but this is actually a very polished and enjoyable romp. Nicely rendered cutscenes progress the typically nonsensical story, though the overall presentation and charm more than make up for the tale.

Tak leaps around each well-designed and retina-scorching environment with intuitive ease, though there's no option to alter the tricky, horizontally and vertically inverted controls. Each level involves many engaging puzzles, but none are ever taxing on the grey matter. Collecting the right ingredients, when prompted, allows you to summon Juju spirits to aid your quest. More impressively, concocting different Juju potions unlocks additional mini-games for the Dinky games section, including snowboard races and Phoenix Fights. Brimming with nice touches, this is a solid platformer for more than just kids.

A great little Xbox debut. The main game's littered with fun puzzles, whilst there's a ton of great Dinky challenges to boot.
