Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams is a video game for GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It is the sequel to Tak and the Power of Juju and it was released in 2004. It was followed by Tak: The Great Juju Challenge. All three games were created by Avalanche Software for THQ.
[edit] Gameplay
The gameplay is almost identical to the original Tak Game, whereas Tak's weapon is always on hand and mana is represented by feather count and not a meter. The game takes place in various locations, such as tropical forests, canyons, volcanic areas, snowy tundras and other harsh environments. There are also a number of dimensional stages, in the Dreamworld. Tak gets aid from animals, a number of which did not appear in the first game. In this game, Tak's juju magic is triggered by holding down one button and pressing combos of other buttons. Tak also earns juju powers gradually throughout the game instead of having to seek them out. Tak can also get certain animals to help him out in the real world, for example:
- Squirrel: Squirrels throws acorns at the nearest target when angered.
- Bear: Bears have bellies that can bounce Tak high enough to reach his objective (but bouncing too much makes them angry). They have to be on their back eating honey.
- Skunk: Skunks gives Tak a stench that causes everyone else to stay as far away from him as possible.
- Beaver: Beavers can chew down trees to make bridges across rivers.
- Wild Boar: Wild Boars can be ridden on if they like how Tak smells.
- Jibolba Flea: Jibolba transforms into a flea to help Tak throughout the game. Jibolba Flea can either bite animals (such as the squirrel) so they can help Tak or put animals to sleep.
Tak has also gained the ability to morph into some animals:
- Flying Squirrels: Can glide across canyons.
- Bear: Can slide down icy slides without taking damage.
- Frog: Can swim through water safe of gators and catches flies with tongue.
- Wild Boar: Can bash through walls, walk across lava and kill enemies.
