N-Europe reviews Toki Tori (9/10)

Nathan Whincup reports:

''You wouldn't think it by looking at the WiiWare version of Toki Tori, but this charming little puzzler started out life on the Game Boy Color. Developed by Dutch studio Two Tribes, the game featured the titular chubby birdy on a mission to retrieve eggs from four dangerous worlds. However, the title was released in 2002 after the release of the Game Boy Advance, and despite receiving rave reviews, the game was a commercial failure due to GBA mania. A fan following of gamers who were lucky enough to play the original slowly formed, and Two Tribes have brought their adventurous chicken back from the dead to grace the WiiWare launch line up.

Toki Tori's gameplay remains largely the same as its predecessor. Whilst it would appear at first glance to be nothing more than a meagre platformer, the title is actually a puzzler in the vein of Worms: Open Warfare 2's tasking puzzle scenarios (which was also developed by the excellent Two Tribes). Presented with a large world to roam around in, such as jungles or lava moat-protected castles, it is up to you to analyse Toki Tori's surroundings and work out how exactly you are going to make your way around the level to collect all the eggs which Toki Tori so desperately wants.''
