CGRundertow TOMBA! for PlayStation Video Game Review

Tomba! review. Classic Game Room presents a CGRundertow review of Tomba! from Whoopee Camp for the PlayStation. Tomba! was an ambitious release for its time. It's a 2D platformer at its core, but it has several unique gameplay components working in tandem. Tomba! is an action platformer with a heavy emphasis on exploring, a true juggernaut of a 32 bit platformer and an impressive technical specimen, as well. Tomba received a lot of glowing reviews in 1998, and much of the game deserves praise. It looks fantastic, with charming art realized by fairly impressive tech, and its sprawling, surprisingly open design gives the game a really unique flavor among its platforming peers. But unfortunately, Tomba also has the inexplicable predisposition to doing bellyflops. This video review features video gameplay footage of Tomba! for the PlayStation and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.

Its my OPINION that Derek's opinion sucks. Before even viewing the video, I simply scrolled down, looked at the like / dislike bar, and realized Undertow butchered yet another retro review. Like the Cybernator review, you guys at undertow just simply can't review retro games. No different than an RPG fanatic trying to review a new soccer game.

Also: Klonoa and Tomba were released in the same year.

@TheGamerr Derek is a nintendo man, anything other than nintendo he doesnt really know or care about.

AHhh golden age. games like these focus on fun and humorist game play, a perfect balance of puzzle, combat, platformer, and mystery, blended so well! The people who made this was very passionate on making this game,but... I NEVER GOT TO THE END OF THIS GAME. or any other golden/retro games. they was that massive, time very well spent into making these game, ending them make you feel like you truely achieve something. Playing up to date games....well their fun but declines

This kid can suck my dick! Seriously, this fool dont know how to review a retro game for sure. My opinion isnt based on nostalgia, Im a game collector and a big fan of the so called retro games and Tomba/Tombi! is a great title and platformer and on of the most badass character´s out there. Please, Stop send good games to these idiots, Send them to good reviewer instead! Derek is a fanboy of Nintendo and a kid that dont know how to review a piece of art, Thumbs up if you agree!

i love this game, its gotta be my favorite platformer! I didnt have any troubles with the crontrolls, i thought they were perfect

@ParakoopaPete That is a complete lie, from beginning to end. None of it happened, none of is true.

[ParakoopaPete]

@TheSmackerlacker The fact of the matter is Dereks bashes the game because he percieved a fault in it that virtually no other person has ever expressed, and it was blatantly obvious from the content shown that he really hadn't invested much time into the game at all. If someone finds fault in a game due to their own incompetence at playing the game then others have every right to point it out.

[timmoobeans]

@TheGamerr you think being able to argue on the internet gives people a spine? or makes them a tought guy? Yeah i care about the fact that people are always slaggin stuff off on here, just because it doesnt match their opinions or they dont like it. . What i dont care about is what people like you have to say. and what everyone else doesnt care about, is what I have to say lol. there anything else you wanna get off your chest, or can we both get on with our lives? its gettin borin...

@mangaas You're right, this is not debate class.

Funny thing about debate class though, the point is to teach you how to debate outside of class.

You seem to have not understood that.

You also seem to think that opinions matter. They don't. If you want to bash someone's opinion, you do it with facts. Otherwise, you're just expressing YOUR opinion, which is no more valid than that of anyone else, in which case you should shut the fuck up.

Go flame someone else. I like Derek.

@TheSmackerlacker

Incorrect, my opinion is actually based off of the video itself. The like/dislike bar is simply a way of getting a general consensus on the videos content prior to watching. If its got a lot of dislikes, it usually reflects the poor content of the video.

Also: I replied to someone else explaining EXACTLY why this review is misleading. I don't feel the need to write out an essay explaining everything he got wrong in the review.

This is youtube, not debate class

[TheSmackerlacker]

@mangaas Way to go. You openly admit that your opinion is based not on the video's content, but on the feedback from other people who have viewed it.

You have openly stated that you prejudged the video, then proudly announced that your opinion is meaningful and relevant, while Derek's is not, without giving any reasons.

Worst of all, 25 other idiots proudly lined up behind you, not realizing that this line was for the firing squad.

Congratulations, you stupid, arrogant buffoon.
