The Rise and Fall of Tak and the Power of Juju (Full Series Retrospective)

Of all the "B-list" or second tier of platformers during the PS2/GameCube/Xbox era, Tak may be the most fascinating: A game series developed in partnership with Nickelodeon, alongside plans for a tie-in cartoon...but a series that ended BEFORE the cartoon could reach the airwaves. The Tak trilogy released as three very different kinds of game, all in the span of three short years, and then just disappeared. It's the product of a developer crunching across multiple licensed projects at once, a studio that was bought out by Nickelodeon's competitor Disney, ending the Tak saga before it had the chance to bloom.

But are the Tak games worth the rosy, nostalgic recollection that many players have of them? And what about that Tak cartoon, and the fourth Tak game made to tie into it? This Tak and the Power of Juju series retrospective has you covered - let's look at this blink-and-you'll-miss-it series from cover to cover.
