CSM:
"Similar to the TV series and other video games set in the world of Tak, the game does feature a fair amount of humor that helps propel the game from mediocre to enjoyable. The layout of the game is such that even young gamers will be able to advance through the title quite quickly, because the orbs that you must collect are set on a path through the levels rather than being simply scattered. The mix of puzzles, platform jumping, and slight fighting action make the game entertaining. Thanks to the parkour gameplay of running, jumping, climbing through environments, the battles become quite dynamic with Tak vaulting over enemies while attacking, rather than simply mashing buttons in hopes of winning."
The game is the third story iteration in Tak series and after a long hiatus now returns to the Wii. Developed by Blitz games and published by THQ this game sports the nickelodeon splat right on the box letting us know that this is a fine game based on the cartoon based on the game.. In fact one of the special extras on the disc is an episode of the cartoon.
Mini-shaman Tak is responsible for the cleaning of the Juju shrines in his village but instead of using his hands, he uses magic. Butterfingers Tak smashes a sacred crystal holding four extremely unpleasant 'Grosstrosities', releasing them into the world where they promptly smell the place up something fierce.
GamerDad writes: "Tak is a young shaman in training who stars in his own computer animated Nickelodeon cartoon. In The Guardians of Gross, Tak accidentally releases four of the most putrid giant golems ever, and now he'll have to learn some equally gross magic himself to seal away the behemoths before they stink up the jungle.
Tak and the Guardians of Gross is a 3-D platform jumping adventure. Tak runs, jumps and wall climbs past obstacles and uses his magic staff to beat enemies. He'll learn some new grosstacular juju magic to beat the nasty giants, plus solve puzzles and bypass obstacles. Turn into a boogery slime ball to stick to surfaces or summon a stinky wind to blow objects away. When facing the giant Gross Guardians, players may even be reminded of a kid-friendly version of Shadow of the Colossus."
