Tamarin

"Tamarin may look like the ideal nostalgic fix - evoking fond memories of Rare&s;s Jet Force Gemini - but this is not the game you are looking for. Tamarin&s;s external charms hide flawed and deeply dull gameplay. What&s;s most frustrating …"

"Tamarin may be an adorable game but it&s;s also one that&s;ll make you wonder if it&s;s sponsored by the NRA with its odd use of guns."

"Tamarin has a very cute protagonist and an interconnected world to explore but the gameplay and level design are extremely poor across the board."

"Something went terribly wrong with the development of Tamarin. Nothing works and everything comes off like it was slapped together causing this entire adventure to feel like a random and confusing mess. Still, if you’re trying to experience one of …"

"To put it bluntly, Tamarin is messy. The story isn&s;t that interesting, and the characters try to make it sound important but come off as pompous. The platforming is decent once you learn that you have useful moves, but the …"

"Tamarin had the ingredients to become a remarkable experience, but the final product is a weird and shocking mixture of tones and genres. It has its moments, but terrible camera movements and cumbersome exploration ruin the experience."

"Tamarin tries to recall the old rare classics, but fails to propose a valid platform that looks and plays like a game form the mid &s;90."

"Tamarin strives to be a spiritual successor to Jet Force Gemini, but its poor art style, stale and disappointing gameplay, and shoddy controls result in a game that won&s;t be remembered as fondly as its inspirator."

"Tamarin is disappointing. Bad gameplay and prevented from progressing by constant crashes, there is a moment when you simply give up on a game."

"Tamarin has a quirky and fun concept (a monkey with a gun), but its poor 3D platforming, inability to inform the player properly about objectives and where to go, and dated look with bugs make it a title that few …"

"There is fun to be had, but it just isn’t enough to leave a lasting impression outside of disappointment. For those in love with platformers and the N64 era there might be some value here. There is not enough, however, …"

"I was really hoping Tamarin was going to be the spiritual sequel to Jet Force Gemini I’ve been waiting for the past twenty years. What I ended up getting was a carbon copy of an old game with even clunkier …"

"Although a little dated in design, Tamarin is a ton of fun for fans of good old fashioned Collectathon platformers."

"Tamarin ended up as a big disappointment for me. I imagined the cute platformer that it could have been again and again. But the Uzi that you receive in minute five changes everything - and the inaccurate shooting mechanics and …"

"Tamarin ultimately falls short in bringing back some of the best franchises of yesteryear. Though the effort is a valiant one, Tamarin, hampered by the flaws of the games it attempts to emulate, is just too clunky in its execution."

"One of the more disappointing games of the year, Tamarin is pretty to look at but dead behind the eyes, offering very little to win over fans of Rare’s golden age."

"Tamarin had one thing going for it: the main character is a very cute monkey. Unfortunately, this is literally the only thing that is good in the game. The game lets you walk around with weapons, shooting all kinds of …"

"There’s no denying that it’s fun and well-designed, with solid 3D platforming gameplay and third-person shooter combat, but the blatant lack of cohesion between these two styles of gameplay results in the overall package feeling a bit odd."

"Tamarin offers an innocuous and simple experience, lacking excitement. The chaotic world and weak shooting mechanics detract from its potential. It&s;s not catastrophic but falls short of being fully satisfying."

"I really hope Tamarin’s issues are addressed with patches. It’s possible, as the game was constantly pushed back from its original release date. But right now it’s almost unplayable, because of its camera pulling. It’s not possible to recommend Tamarin …"

"Overall, it&s;s just not particularly well made; music will drop out occasionally, some collectibles aren&s;t fully explained, the writing isn&s;t good, and it&s;s awkward to control."

"Tamarin lacks polish and not even the great soundtrack and the interesting interconnected 3D world saves it from a confused and meaningless story with characters without charisma. It&s;s a monotonous and exhausting title, with poorly designed mechanics, annoying camera and …"
