Aside from the slightly novel plot, there is very little here that hasn't been done before. The graphics and sound of Toki capture the game's lighthearted attitude very well. There is good use of color and a lot of detail and animation in the graphics. However, some of the game elements are fairly small, requiring a bit of effort to spot them. This can be fatal with some of the more detailed backgrounds, as a small incoming projectile could slip past your sight.
Sounds are better, making good use of music, computer-generated effects, and digitized clips.
Each level is accompanied by an unobtrusive background soundtrack, and the individual sound effects are distinctive. Summary Toki is, in the final analysis, a great adaptation of an average game, duplicating the original's sights, sounds, and action faithfully. However, if you're in the market for a new arcade-action game, Toki is a worthy candidate. This game can't get much better. 7 - 5 Good.
