Toki Tori -- Initial Impression.

It's been three weeks since the initial launch of Wii Ware and a second title has caught my eye. Toki Tori is an action puzzle game that was originally developed for the GameBoy Color by Two Tribes and published by Capcom. The game received high praise in the gaming press but went entirely ignored by the gaming public. Now Two Tribes is taking a second shot at it by bringing out a graphically updated version of the game as a Wii Ware offering. The game has you moving around a level tying to collect all the eggs so you can advance to the next level. There is a little bit of action as the levels are populated with enemies. The bulk of the game is puzzle however in trying to figure out what to use where and when to use it. It comes off as a bit of a combination of Lemmings and The Adventures of Lolo. We'll see if it strikes the right balance between the action and puzzle elements.
