One day, Zippo's friend Tomba discovered a mysterious letter addressed to Tomba with a letter saying that the boyfriend Tabby had disappeared suddenly. Feeling anxious, Tomba jumped into the sea trying to find her, but in vain because Tabby was not there.

Tomba also remember something and immediately rushed to where they usually visit.

REVIEW
The first time I was acquainted with this game series could be practically about 14 years ago. At that time I was intrigued by the appearance of the illustrated picture of wild pink-haired boy who glance reminds me of Tarzan figure. So... it can be said this Tomba 2 game is my first experience playing RPG platformer in the console is gray Playstation. Beside the very interesting thing, Tomba 2 does not require you to play first Tomba first so you understand the story.

We just sit sweetly staring at the screen, while playing the PlayStation joystick in hand. Because in Tomba 2, it is narrated that a swarm of evil pigs from another dimension is invading a land inhabited by our protagonist Tomba. The evil pig who turned out to be the incarnation of the devil has spread the curse throughout the land of the land. Well ... here it all depends on Tomba who ventured across five areas to catch the pig devil with his magic bag.

In gameplay, Tomba 2 has a fairly dark atmosphere outside of its colorful visual appearance. So... I don't think that Tomba two is a game designed only for children. Because to be honest, here you will see some pretty horrific themes of death and horror. On the other hand, at some level we will be presented with the arrangement of music and environment that I think is very interesting. Especially at the level of Donglin Forest and Water Temple that will make our hair stand when we heard it.

As long as your action captures the six pig devil leaders, here you are given more or less the same control as a typical platformer game. D-pad button for moving and face buttons to interact during your adventure. Because the developer himself includes a few elements of RPG through the narrative quest and inventory settings therein. Through this inventory, you can use some items and a Tomba outfit to pass through some game situations, such as squirrel costumes to float over the air or a special outfit so that Tomba can swim at some level. So ... with the inventory equipment and the addition of quest that makes the game Tomba 2 seem very interesting in my opinion.

CONCLUSION
In my opinion, although the adventure is not very long, but this game has managed to give us more room to explore some of the hidden things in every level. But make no mistake, although the five levels sound a little, this game can make us busy to pace around here during adventure. As an example of a quest that requires us to give a banana to a fussy monkey, but after getting the banana the monkey even ask for bananas so we must go to the town of the miners to put it into the oven. In terms of graphic display, the quality of texture Tomba 2 is not as good as other platformer game releases such as Crash Bandicoot, it's because there are some textures that seem rude here and there. But for myself, it is not a big deal because we can still enjoy the adventure with a comfortable frame rate until the end of the game. Also from the look of the sound and the music itself, I admit if this game has a good sound arrangement and enough to make us will remember this game all time.

When I was a little child I remember to f*cking HATE this game. Seriously, I couldn't get my head around everything in this game. Now, after all the suffering, I can proudly say that I finished it and it's great. Definitely not masterpiece, but very good challenge. Not "pain-in-the-ass-bandicoot" type of challenge, but still you can sweat a little bit.
