Tak as a whole is kind of surreal to me. It was launched in a blaze of publicity, with numerous video games and a high-budget, high-profile cartoon on Nickelodeon, and then it just sorta...disappeared, and is barely even remembered nostalgically anymore.
Im still in love with the franchise even to this day and juju challenge was one of my first ever DS games..and that alone made me fall in love with this franchise. Though I never got around to play power of juju 😞 I played juju challenge and staff of dreams and it's always nostalgic and on my mind
Takes me back to a simpler time when I waked up just thinking of video games and feeling very invested into this game. Felt like a cartoon brought to life for me at the time.
Fadli Ax the 4th wall for the opening is so kool I don't really remember the ones in the 2 cause it was just at some point in the adventure, this starts at the beginning show
It was one of the first for me as well. It's kind of sad how forgotten these games are now and weird. Like Tak was everywhere for years and then it just disappeared from public consousness over night seemingly? It's not like these were generic or mediocre games either as they were very well produced for the time and the phantassy style was an unusual choice for a platformer and still is and the mix of nicktoon style writing and animation with a tribal jungle setting was very different from your Klonoas and Spyros. The way you could mount animals like in donkey kong country was also very unique to the series among 3d platformers at the time and to this day. Aside from maybe Mario Odysseys possession mechanic and occasional moments in that series like riding the jaxi or yoshi and maybe the animal buddies in Billy Hatcher(although they work more like power ups) I can't think of any other 3d platformers that do anything like that
Unfairkibbles3 weeeelllll not if you compare to one of Disney infinity’s gameplay style, so I don’t suppose if THQnordic would have the agreement with WB games between avalanche software to remake this certain 2003 game, they might have a shot
It so strange that Tak up and disappeared from the world no season finale or any warning just poof just so nostalgic to see him again for the first in forever
This and the first Jak and Daxter will always hold a special place in my heart. Me and my younger brother played the hell out if them. They're also the only two games our mom ever bought for us before she passed. I cant wait to show my son these games when he gets old enough, even though i know im going to end up in tears.
Man, this game was such a enormous part of my childhood. I will never forget this series for as long as I live. Thinking back on this game is unreal to me, The nostalgia I have for it is honestly intoxicating.
Literally bro now its years later and i see this shitpost about "anybody remember tak and the power of juju"? And i had a flashback and desire to play it but idek where my ancient copy of this shit is
My homie would play this game everyday before school and I would watch the show every Saturday morning. Idk why this came up in my suggested but I appreciate it hella
@@angelmendoza5432 A remastered trilogy is still possible even if the original creators aren't the ones working on it, just look at Crash and Spyro if they can have faithful remasters without their original makers why not Tak?
I played this in the hospital everyday at that time and me and this girl next to me shared the ps2 I was also the only one who knew about the ps2 in the hospital so I got to hog it all day I played it every time I died she would play and vice versa I had forgotten the name of this game I’m glad I found it this because I’m getting smacked by nostalgia Rn
Dude sameeee when I was in the hospital I got to play this. And spiderman 2 lol bc I had like 11 surgery's so I was always in the hospital at the time.
I'm not even playing and I'm getting pissed off by how the tutorial completely halts everything to tell you about even the most basic stuff instead of just having her talk about it while you move on through.
Saw a meme about this game on facebook and had a flashback to my childhood i totally forgot about i never even remember finishing this game but so many memories of hours spent playing this game as a child
I'm sure i've never completed it since the only memory card i had was busted. Always needed to "speed run" as far as i can, with this game and Spongebob: Revenge of the flying dutchman. Good times.
Flora ? More like Green Navi ... This game is pure Nostalgia ... But, it was better back then. All this new technology make it ... feels old ... It needs a remake just like Crash and Spyro have.
You say that but I seriously have a hard time not gushing to myself about how incredibly beautiful this game is both stylistically and graphically. Seriously if Apex Legends physically looked half this good I wouldn't keep wondering why games are regressing
@@Gadget-Walkmen Same. I feel like the art style more than makes up for it. They also don't make enough games like this anymore imo. Every now and again you get a yoshis crafted world, a tear away, a Mario Odyssey or an astro bot, but quality kids games like this just aren't as common as they used to be in the tripple a space. I find myself going back to the wii and gamecube(as well as the other consoles of that generation) whenever I have an itch for something more light hearted that can't quite be scratched by an indie
I was almost 7 when this game came out, and you know I damn well played this and the sequels out. It was so much damn fun. For me as a child, this game was filled with such adventure and mystery. I constantly played it, I would return to it every day after coming home from school, playing it in my free time. It was amazing, it was a blast, it was back when I had happiness. Now I'm going on 22, with clinical depression. It's hard to get out of bed some days, amd other days I'm too depressed to get out of bed so I lie and call off sick but really am just laying in bed wallowing in my own misery. Every other if not every day, I think about suicide. I'm just too scared, don't know where I'll go, to actually kill myself.
The Tak trilogy deserves a remake! The Tak community needs to come together to make it happen! If Battle for Bikini Bottom could! The Tak trilogy deserves the same treatment! Let’s get there attention!
First, it might need exposure by figures who has an audience and is well respected in the gaming community. Battle of Bikini Bottom still had some palpable pressence in speedrun space and the fact SpongeBob franchise is still alive contributed to the remaster happening. The Tak series is much less remembered, sadly, and we don't know if Viacom still bothers with the IP
I just ordered all 3 as well , but I was an adult in 2003, this game would have been so up my alley as a kid , even now and I’m 41 , maybe I’m a little immature lol I just ordered Maximo 1 and 2 as well , I grew up in the Mario and Tomb Raider era.
Ohh I rented this once when I as a teen when this came out. Now I am in my late 30s and I am so happy to see it still loved and played by others. Nickelodeon made a masterpiece when they created Tak.
I was randomly playing a game of league of legends, and a champion in the game (xayah) had a skin that made her feathers on the floor yellow. I was staring at the feathers on the floor and randomly got a memory in my head and googled "game with feathers" and then found this. Big bast from the plast, i would have been 6 years old on release and remember sitting down in my bean bag type chair playing this game. I remember chasing all the feathers and possibly there being a purple feather too. There's also another game i'm trying to remember what it was called, you were like a little ninja dude and there was a bunch of gigantic robots across the "map" that needed to be activated and you would fight them. Edit: Other game is called I-Ninja
Probably because there were a couple dozen action platformers that came out in this era, that looked nearly identical to this, and played basically the same. Tak was not the first, or the last, but it was basically the most forgettable.
I remember watching this in the morning before going to school and it was crazy how i always had a similar vibe in the morning like i was gonna watch this show.
Man this game came out back when gamecube did. Never knew anyone who bought it. Thanks for killing my 15 year old curiosity. Looks like it didn't totally suck.
Playing this was the only good part of my childhood. I'm 20 going on 21, looking back at this reminds me all the fun times I had playing the Tak games. Those were the days.
This game was just awesome. I got it to easter from my mom. I had suuuuuuch a good time playing it, walking around just enjoying the game. No rushing :) even my mom loved this game
How dare you remind me of my childhood, i remember seeing it on VHS tapes but forgot it existed until now. Now my brain is going to haunt me with memories i forgot i had.
I remember playing this game so long ago when I was 5. I had just gotten balded at the barber shop, and I went to the pool table room where my PS2 was at.

Tak as a whole is kind of surreal to me. It was launched in a blaze of publicity, with numerous video games and a high-budget, high-profile cartoon on Nickelodeon, and then it just sorta...disappeared, and is barely even remembered nostalgically anymore.
Myndnix Sad, so sad but true 😢
Maybe someone should kickstart a tak video game sequel, or prequel.
Yeah just came like a bat outta hell and then nothing. I remember being curious about it but never did get around to it.
It's so nostalgic for me. It was my first video game I ever got
Im still in love with the franchise even to this day and juju challenge was one of my first ever DS games..and that alone made me fall in love with this franchise. Though I never got around to play power of juju 😞 I played juju challenge and staff of dreams and it's always nostalgic and on my mind
God I remember this game but it felt like a dream.
Galactic Yeet just came to my mind
You mean a STAFF of a dream......
Literally just remembered this game outta no where it felt like a fuckin dream
Bruh sameeee
Bruh...SAME! Im so happy I found it, thought I was delusional 😅🖤
Damn this game had some great graphics for a game made in 2003
That because it was a decent game
Mine hit like a damn train because I used to watch the show and play the games.
lol the child looks like an old man
2003? It was v good... the models, texture and animation is on point
Ikr
Nostalgia hits like a god damn truck
I remember playing this in like 2005-2006 and yeah like freakin freight train.

BirdsofDestiny stfu
BirdsofDestiny yeah stfu no one gives a shit about how bad the word is.
U was hit by a truck before ???🧍🏾♂️
Anyone else remember when McDonalds had gamecubes? Use to play this and Mario sunshine
john doe YESSS
john doe they had GameCubes in McDonald's back then?
Yeah that was the best
Torchicman307 Prinplupgamer216 They had Xbox 360's in early 2006-2007 ish in burger King too. I used to play Golden Compass
They had Melee on mine
back when life was simple
Tbh
Banana Cat I agree pal! Nostalgia is great when it’s called for, not longed. The best times are always ahead of us.
@@apolonioman5479 Wrong. The best time is always now. Never more never less.
Honestly
i played this in 2003 at my grandmas
ngl I think this game increased my IQ at a very young age
Learned to tie my shoes playing this game so I’d say so
Now this is a franchise that needs to be remastered/remade. I loved this so much growing up
For a game made in 2003 the cutscene detail is insane
details were actually a lot better in gaming, movies, music etc in 2003 than they are now
Game is already 20 years old… wth I’m 26 lol played this when I was a kid. Rip dad
@@tynao2029agreed
Takes me back to a simpler time when I waked up just thinking of video games and feeling very invested into this game. Felt like a cartoon brought to life for me at the time.
Yoooo the graphics age well. Damn, Tak was ahead of its time in term of the graphic
Fadli Ax the 4th wall for the opening is so kool I don't really remember the ones in the 2 cause it was just at some point in the adventure, this starts at the beginning show
Who cares about graphics
Style ages well while realism is fleeting.
@@Rokabur befause attempting to achieve realism is a pointless endeavor that results in more space used
This game literately just unlocked a whole lot of memories in the back of my head
Wow.. you edited the comment and still butchered the spelling of "literally".

This game was problaby the first game I've ever played...ahh memories
PIKMIN64 .777 same!!!
Mine was the first Legend of Zelda.
It was one of the first for me as well. It's kind of sad how forgotten these games are now and weird. Like Tak was everywhere for years and then it just disappeared from public consousness over night seemingly? It's not like these were generic or mediocre games either as they were very well produced for the time and the phantassy style was an unusual choice for a platformer and still is and the mix of nicktoon style writing and animation with a tribal jungle setting was very different from your Klonoas and Spyros.
The way you could mount animals like in donkey kong country was also very unique to the series among 3d platformers at the time and to this day. Aside from maybe Mario Odysseys possession mechanic and occasional moments in that series like riding the jaxi or yoshi and maybe the animal buddies in Billy Hatcher(although they work more like power ups) I can't think of any other 3d platformers that do anything like that
thats so fucking sad.
Mine was the first Super Mario Bros. This, however was my first Gamecube game
If they remade this game now in 2019, the visual effects would be insane
iWatchTooMuchRUclips be like a cartoon uncharted like damn that would be so much pixels
But the game would be shit on by other games put right now
These cutscenes kind of remind me of Fallout New Vegas
Unfairkibbles3 weeeelllll not if you compare to one of Disney infinity’s gameplay style, so I don’t suppose if THQnordic would have the agreement with WB games between avalanche software to remake this certain 2003 game, they might have a shot
People would be offended by it these days, they’ll find a way
It so strange that Tak up and disappeared from the world no season finale or any warning just poof just so nostalgic to see him again for the first in forever
The Tak TV show was trash.
@@loganmansiongames eh the show was ok not as good as the games tho 😉
The soundtrack in this game is one of many things that todays games just can't do. I miss being a kid man
I Think we do my friend 😉
This and the first Jak and Daxter will always hold a special place in my heart. Me and my younger brother played the hell out if them.

Literally same
This game is 15 years old.
why would you say this as if i don't feel old enough just watching this
Fucking stop i feel old as shit
Doctor Awesomeness It needs to be remastered most importantly
17 years old now.
It’s 17 years old now
I swear I spent like half a year trying to remember the name of this game, and finally after many mistakes, the name just popped back into my head.
I know the feeling and I’m happy for you bro LOL
Hey man, fuckin same here. Stoked about it.
I'm glad we can all relate on the nostalgia. damn.
I never finished this game from what I remember
ArkainKnight same. I was like 4 when i was playing this and there was a part i could never get passed so i was like fuck it dude😂
Same

I honestly thought this was just in my imagination as a kid, my god man
Same 😂
My homie would play this game everyday before school and I would watch the show every Saturday morning. Idk why this came up in my suggested but I appreciate it hella
Power of JuJu and Staff of Dreams both need a remaster for the switch

REX Al Abri and what are the odds I found your comment a week later?
That little girl from your story? That little girl...was me.
Dude sameeee when I was in the hospital I got to play this. And spiderman 2 lol bc I had like 11 surgery's so I was always in the hospital at the time.
I played through this and the second one on ps2 when I was a kid. The whole time I had no idea there was also a cartoon.
I'm not even playing and I'm getting pissed off by how the tutorial completely halts everything to tell you about even the most basic stuff instead of just having her talk about it while you move on through.
There were even some glitches happening in the tutorial that forced me to restart lol. Can find it on the LPA blunders channel
it is annoying but it's a kind of nostalgic thing, personally. it's such a gamey PS2 era thing to do. I miss single player games like this.
@@Hal_142 I know what you mean with the nostalgia, but games that have the tutorial voice over the action are objectively better.
@@frankjohnson123 "that's your opinion here's my opinion" why do you people exist go away.
@@Hal_142 It's an opinion to like the old style, but it's not an opinion that slicker gameplay is better. Stop being blinded by nostalgia.
I remember this as a kid I was stuck at a level and forgot avout it. Glad someone released the full gameplay
Fr I never made it to boss 1 I got stuck at some desert level lol
This game was awesome, so was tak 2. One of the first games I really played. Huge nostalgia trip from this
Saw a meme about this game on facebook and had a flashback to my childhood i totally forgot about i never even remember finishing this game but so many memories of hours spent playing this game as a child
I'm sure i've never completed it since the only memory card i had was busted. Always needed to "speed run" as far as i can, with this game and Spongebob: Revenge of the flying dutchman. Good times.
When I saw the thumbnail I was just saying nostalgia nostalgia nostalgia
I used to have this game as a demo on cd with multiple demos, damn the nostalgia is real
Flora ? More like Green Navi ...
This game is pure Nostalgia ...
But, it was better back then.
All this new technology make it ... feels old ...
It needs a remake just like Crash and Spyro have.

A dissapointing animated tv show

i was like 4-5 when this came out . lmao i’m 19🤦🏽♂️
I was born in 2003 so you know almost did it 😞 did play it though on original Xbox couldn't beat barrl mission I was like 4 or 5 or 6
Lmao that's so funny
same im freaking out rn

Not even gonna lie this was one of those games I was curious about for the longest time but never actually played

i remember playing this game for hours on end with my dad and little brother. so many good memories!
Nice. Been waiting for a longplay of this game.
21:41 that mummy wasn't ready 😂😂😂😂😂 Tak didn't waste any time!!
"When in doubt, pull your stick out!"
I've remembered, and repeatedly this line for nearly 2 decades now.
Loool
Holy crap, I remember seeing the commercials for this game on tv like it was yesterday. Been over 17 years now
Thank you man, I needed this nostalgia juice.
This game is a forgotten classic
I hope they will remake it.
*Oh my god, the memories.*
Just ordered all three lookin forward to some throwback Thursdays
I just ordered all 3 as well , but I was an adult in 2003, this game would have been so up my alley as a kid , even now and I’m 41 , maybe I’m a little immature lol
I just ordered Maximo 1 and 2 as well , I grew up in the Mario and Tomb Raider era.
Childhood!
39:43 that's gonna leave a- *dies on screen*

I remember having this game and not knowing where I got it but like I remember being stuck at like the first 20 min and just gave up
LITERALLY
Nostalgia at its finest. Me and my cousin would spend countless hours playing this game, even after we beat the game. I miss this game so much.
the amount of nights i spent past midnight playing this game will be unknown to me but let it be known it certainly more than 2
i forgot abt the nerbils im like pissing myself laughing...those things used to scare the shit out of me as a kid lmao
i remember playing this when i was super young but looking back on it, it feels like i’ve never played it and it feels like a dream
i always loved the art in the background. so unique
played this when i was 5, am literally in college now
Ohh I rented this once when I as a teen when this came out. Now I am in my late 30s and I am so happy to see it still loved and played by others.
Nickelodeon made a masterpiece when they created Tak.
Thumbs up for a next gen remake for this and the sequel😍
This intro is still one of the funniest in any game I've played, I miss these games.
This game brought back some seriously deep memories
I remember playing this at like 5 years old on my gamecube everyday it was elite this and a few others
I was randomly playing a game of league of legends, and a champion in the game (xayah) had a skin that made her feathers on the floor yellow. I was staring at the feathers on the floor and randomly got a memory in my head and googled "game with feathers" and then found this. Big bast from the plast, i would have been 6 years old on release and remember sitting down in my bean bag type chair playing this game.

There's also another game i'm trying to remember what it was called, you were like a little ninja dude and there was a bunch of gigantic robots across the "map" that needed to be activated and you would fight them.
Edit: Other game is called I-Ninja
Please!!! Someone Remaster this game.
Why do i feel like i played this but i haven't
It had a trailer on Sponge Bob battle of bikini bottom. Maybe that´s why you rememeber it.
Probably because there were a couple dozen action platformers that came out in this era, that looked nearly identical to this, and played basically the same. Tak was not the first, or the last, but it was basically the most forgettable.
22:00 this guy is amazing cracked me up can't wait for the rest of thi gem
This is strangely a dream I lived
@@MrLordDarlington "played basically the same" so you played them all then huh? Also Tak wasn't the most forgettable, not by a long shot.
I remember watching this in the morning before going to school and it was crazy how i always had a similar vibe in the morning like i was gonna watch this show.
How does this video only have 5K likes?
It should've had more than that by now...
I can’t tell you how much I played through all 3, these were god tier childhood games
Played this game when I was like 8.. enjoyed it immensely. I got stuck in the mummy tomb I think. Then the game just disappeared forever.
Man this game came out back when gamecube did. Never knew anyone who bought it. Thanks for killing my 15 year old curiosity. Looks like it didn't totally suck.
I never played this game but I remember watching the trailers and the cartoon when I was younger. If this game ever gets remastered I will play it.
Why doesn’t THQ Nordic remaster Tak yet? He’s had the rights to do so for over 4 years now
I remember reading about this game way back when was interested in playing it.
I loved this game so much as a kid I'm literally watching this for spiritual enhancement
I remember playing this shit my save wasnt working so I had to keep my console on till the next day
Damn I remeber this like a dream was this a gamecube game?
yes!!!!! remember spending many hours not finishing it lol
Tak. Man I miss these days this was the first video game I played
i used to play tf outta this game when my mom worked at mcdonalds 😂😂😂😂
This channel is epic! Epic nostalgia
Epic my guy
Bruh I wanna cry by seeing this . Remind me of my childhood ☹️
1:32 I need a loop of this
this game was the best of the franchise change my mind
Dylan Marvin TimeSplitters, Spongebob Battle For Bikini Bottom.
Mac DeMarco attack the senate. Mario odyssey
Playing this was the only good part of my childhood. I'm 20 going on 21, looking back at this reminds me all the fun times I had playing the Tak games. Those were the days.
I never played the Tak games, but I do remember seeing him at McDonalds a long time ago. Now it's an underrated game.
I’ve always connected to this game on a spirtual level since my initials spell out tak😂
This game was just awesome. I got it to easter from my mom. I had suuuuuuch a good time playing it, walking around just enjoying the game. No rushing :) even my mom loved this game
I actually remember this game, haven't played it in forever and never got that far.
How dare you remind me of my childhood, i remember seeing it on VHS tapes but forgot it existed until now. Now my brain is going to haunt me with memories i forgot i had.
i fucking loved this game so much and Tak 2 and the Staff of Dreams.
I was young when this game came out but I loved it and the tv show
I remember playing this game so long ago when I was 5. I had just gotten balded at the barber shop, and I went to the pool table room where my PS2 was at.
I remeber being 6 years old playing this game, One of my earliest memories was this game. Playing in my parents room.
I forgot this game existed and how much I used to play it
This game deserves a remake. BIG time. If they can remake Battle for Bikini Bottom, why not Tak?
