But only if you're into the movie.

Overview:

Definitely could be a bit of a disappointment for many reasons. The voice acting for Jim exclusively did sound a bit a awkward, and the character design and gameplay animation was a little...over the top, to put it bluntly. As well as this, so much in the game is random and irrelevant to the plot that you'll find the purpose the game was supposed to serve wasn't even approached.

All this aside, the game can be a great bit of fun when not taken too seriously. The presentation is lovely in it's simplicity, and though tasks are easy enough to complete, you'll find that they require quite a few tries to get right, offering a refreshing challenge rare in platform gaming these days.

Gameplay

In the first part to TP, you get to roam different ports and planets freelance as Jim, fighting enemies and picking up brief abilities here and there to help you along. The process is horridly simple, however, so it can be very dull at times. Aside from that, there is an element to the game in that control is not so excellent, and there are numerous places to fall; these add to the overall challenge of the game.

The second part involves solar surfing, which I personally thought to be the better half. Surf your way through treacherous locations at exhilerating speeds while either racing against a timer, collecting items, smashing obstacles and more.

In each level, on foot or on surfer, you activate beacons by completing tasks that vary slightly with each progression. Again, these seem so irrelevant to the real plot that it could bring tears to the experienced gamer's eyes. Two constants are collecting drubloons, and collecting green energies.

Graphics

Well, they seem to meet the bare minimum, anyways.

Sound

Sometimes repetitive and annoying, but more often than that, appropriate and in the case of solar surfing, very exciting.

Value

Because you don't have to activate all beacons in a level to advance in the game, I predict that when the game ends, you can go back to each level and clear it completely by attaining those afore missed goals, which can be fun if you enjoy that sort of obsessive compulsive thing.

FINAL CONVICTION

All in all, this game is NOT worth the retail price. But pick it up cheap, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
