Ed, Tonic, Hands, Feet, Body, Head.

The Good
The game is loony like, and wacky with a Rayman style added. Another fun fact was that the game saves by itself (as long as you have a controller pack) whenever you go through a portal or section. Character design is pretty good, the characters look funny too, like for example, Ed! Sound is also cartoony, which adds the immersion in a goofed-up world. story adds greatly through the game, I like the levels too, medium-long and filled with puzzles and enemies to lay waste to. Overall the game is well over average resulting with Tonic fun.

The Bad
sometimes it gets hard, like in glacier Cocktail, it can take hours to get out of an area, another hard puzzle is well, a puzzle literally, something you really need to work at. Enemies can be tough, especially for the newbies. And for the people who can't read, this game is not suggested, because the characters use those sentence boxes that some games use. P.S You are not reading this review if you can't read.

The Bottom Line
Highly suggested for those big time Rayman fans, but wackier, you'll have fun smashing enemies, gaining new abilities and just havin' a wild ride, now buy it, it's only about $20 new and only $5 used! Have fun.

Not as great as Rayman 2, but still good.

The Good
The game starts with a funny cinematic, marking the beginning of a crazy story. Ed, a friendly alien, accidentally drops a can of Tonic on the Earth, where it begins to mutate everything: rivers run full of sangria, vegetables turn into monsters.... You guide Ed on his journey all over the Earth to retrieve the can. You encounter some pretty bizarre creatures, and travel to crazy worlds. Like in the Rayman games, you gradually gain powers in the game, like a bow-tie used to fly and a pogo-stick.

The Bad
This game is from the creators of Rayman 2, and most people expect it to be as good. However, it's slightly worse. The graphics are not as good, and Ed moves with a weird slowness. It's also a bit of a rip-off; like Rayman, all characters are limbless.

The Bottom Line
Don't let Rayman 2 cloud your judgment, Tonic Trouble is an enjoyable game!
