Tonic Trouble

Moby ID: 2765

Windows version

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!
