Taz-Mania

"Taz Hate Water"

In the game you start of with the main character which is of course Taz. You go through many levels with your main cause.......to catch those yellow birds!!!!

Graphics:
The graphics are very colorful and look nice. It does not look as if they are choppy at all. The characters are detailed nicely and look cartoonish (That is in a good way)
9/10

Sound/Music
The sounds consist of stuff like Taz getting hit, screams and such others. They are basically the basic stuff you would hear. As for the music, at first it may sound good but it turns very repetitive once you play this game a lot.

7/10

Controls:
The controls are simple. Taz can jump, catch birds, and even use his spin attack. You would use the d-pad to make him run to catch the birds. The controls are smooth and you wont feel as if you are going to pound on the controller to make them work.

8/10

Gameplay:
The Gameplay is like I have said before to catch the yellow birds. Catching them is not a simple matter though. Along the way you will have to not get hit by cars and trucks and the many different people trying to get you, including your mom! Some times you need to watch out for holes and trees. They hurt your life and your life depends on the yellow birds. Sometimes birds and other things can give you extended time and even bonus points. Watch out for getting blown up though. Also when you beat several levels you are treated to a bonus level. Some of them have you catching birds or even these moving woods. The game has a time limit and depending on the level it changes. If your time runs out or you lose a life you will lose a life. One thing to know that the game can get frustrating later on. It is not an easy game.

7/10

Replay:
Here is where the game falls down. After you beat it you cant really do much. Yes, you could try breaking a high score or even try to beat the game without losing lives but since you are not treated with anything after the ending. Maybe another character could have been fun to play with. Or even a new mode/level.

6/10

If you happen to find this game at a bargain bin you might as well pick it up. It is good fun but not forever.

Overall: 7.4 (Rounded to 7)
