Tak and the Power of JuJu PS2 | PlayStation 2 | THQ | Avalanche Software | 2004 | Kids Platformer | Nickelodeon | Juju Magic | Animal Powers | Disc Only | PAL UK
Confirmed working tested before listing. Black label. Disc only no manual.
Tak and the Power of JuJu is the Nickelodeon platformer that launched a whole franchise and it's a better game than its bargain bin reputation suggests. Developed by Avalanche Software (the studio that later built the Just Cause series) and published by THQ in 2004, this is a tribal fantasy adventure with genuine charm, a witty script, and a surprisingly deep environmental puzzle system underneath the colourful surface.
You play as Tak, a scrawny apprentice shaman whose entire village has been cursed by the vengeful wizard Tlaloc most of the population turned into sheep. To break the curse, Tak must recover the Sacred Moonstones and restore the Moon Juju across 11 non-linear levels filled with animals, magic, and secrets.
What makes Tak stand out from the crowd of early-2000s licensed platformers is how everything in the world connects. You don't bludgeon your way through you learn the environment. Bribe the right monkey. Ride the right rhino. Wear a chicken suit to glide across gaps. Put on a fish suit to access underwater routes. Combine animal interactions, plants, weapons and Juju invocations in the right order and levels open up in ways that feel genuinely clever for a PEGI 3 title.
Juju powers are granted by the gods themselves as Tak earns their favour building across the game into a satisfying magical toolkit. The tone is light and funny throughout, pitched perfectly at younger players without ever talking down to them.
A great pick for fans of early-2000s platformers sits comfortably alongside Ty the Tasmanian Tiger and the Crash Bandicoot games of the same era.
