Toejam & Earl

Review: Toejam & Earl

Summary of the game:

This game has branched from the Sega Genesis console to the Xbox console showing its growing popularity. The game Toejam & Earl is a single/multiplayer based game in which the players must travel their way around earth in search of their ship parts. Toejam is identified as the three-legged red alien with his cap twisted backwards and gold chain, whereas Big Earl is identified as the big fat orange alien wearing high top sneakers and oversized sunglasses. The game also has hidden levels and cool presents that can be used to avoid the many dangers that the earth holds in it for the alien visitors.

Storyline:

This particular version of Toejam & Earl is based upon the two rapper buddies crash landing on planet earth. Afterwards the two friends must travel across the Earth to collect the scattered pieces of their alien ship in an attempt to escape from earth; make their way back to planet Funkotron.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is simple in which the player simply uses the directional pads to move your character around in the 2 Dimensional world, whereas the A button makes your character jump. The player may also go into the pause menu to select gifts that he/she may have collected along their travels to use to help aid them in their quest to recovering the wrecked spaceship particles. The player may also discard of a gift that they may choose to share with the other player or get rid of altogether if it contains harmful content.  Throughout the game the players may note that they can achieve a certain status based upon how much money they collect throughout the game. Although it is unclear to me what these certain titles due for the player they work as achievements to determine the coolness of the player.
