What is it that kind of sucks about this compared to the first game? Is it just the more repetitive OST? The janky ways it tried to incorporate more 3D action? The dumb voice acting? The almost imperceptibly worse control?

It always felt clunkier and slower to me. Plus the voices and this music got old. Tomba 1 is one of my favorite games but I never finished 2. Still liked it and want to come back to it someday, but it was a disappointment in some ways.

Everything's an idiotic downgrade (I don't care to list everything because it will literally give me depression) but the worst problems stems from whole gameworld being oriented along a single line.

I’d say it’s the shift from 2D sprites to 3D models.

>>7917451
This anon knows what’s up. There’s too much shit on the screen and it doesn’t look nearly as nice as the first game.

Don’t get me wrong, both games are great fun, but the first one is simply charming as fuck. Sequel, ehh, not so much.

I liked tomba 2 a lot. Same with tomba 1, which had more soul but feels incomplete.

Play the japanese version, the soundtrack is better. Not as good as 1 but still.

These are uniroinically my favorite single player PS1 exclusives. AMA

That's surreal, I wonder what was the reason behind making a new OST?

Finding the three towers with those super weapons was such a fucking thrill for me as a wee lad, it all just clicked where I could find them one day after spending hours searching for them.

T1 had the same issue with the flying green power. Once you get it you never take it off

Think of the squirrel suit as an improved umbrella from the first game. One that you can actually control

>> No.7919796

>>7919783
I never used the wind power except for the stuff that required it, only precise platforming in the first game is in the lava cave anyway which I was stuck on for hours trying to get all the chests without the items falling until I realized I could just use the umbrella

Why are /vr/ posters so fucking retarded and have no sense of humor? No wonder this board is so boring and dead you cant even say "id really prefer you stop posting this but yes you are correct" without some fat ass boomer autist removing it.

I don't know. They think the memes are immature and ruin discussions, but if it wasn't for Caveman and Chibi, Tomba wouldn't be discussed nearly as much in the first place. I think having references to it in every Tomba thread is worth having Tomba get more attention. They should take the stick out of their asses.

Kek mods on this board are so fucking retarded no wonder /vr/ is like it is - shit.

The Japanese version of 1 also has a different opening song with vocals that weren't there in the American version.

I really don't like how necessary the squirrel suit is sometimes though. Like, I appreciated having the parasol in the first game, but I could mostly get by without it if I wanted to, which keeps the core run, jump, tackle gameplay intact. But in 2 it effectively forces you to have hover-jumping during the snow section, which sucks when all you want to do is leap on an enemy or something. Then you get to the woods and you feel like you still need to have it on because it's just such a mess of small platforms and bars. Even after you get the grapple, it's not quite the safety net it was in 1 because there's more hazards.

I didn't even know tomba 2 existed until I saw the infamous YouTube video. Thank god for they cause it was a damn good game. I beat it through and through, including the 2 extra missions only available if you beat tomba 1.

I ALMOST perfectly cleared tomba 1 but I think my game is bugged. I can't finish the cheese quest for some reason, despite having ALL the cheese in the game.
