Tomba Review (PS1)

I've never been inclined to play Ghosts and Goblins. But seeing the connection with this game....that might change :P
Who woulda thought an obscure game would entice people to play a commonly known one :I

I could never finish ALL events. I missed the barrel one on my first plaything, but on the second? I couldn't repeat my win of the best medal in the race. I still have the save file from when i was 11 somewhere, maybe I can rectify that :I

I wonder how much of my childhood was wasted in loading screens?

Appreciate the good review.

I would really prefer if you'd be quiet

*sip* Aahhh...
Tomba.
Now that's a good game.

Never knew about the director Fujiwara now a lot of the mechanics make sense.

As an indicator of how good that game handles events and progression - I beat it as a child, barely speaking English, with some help of a dictionary

this is one of my favorite games from my childhood, thanks for talking about it Above, it doesn't get brought up enough anymore.

Good review! I feel like I understand why Tomba plays the way it does and why people like it. I never got used to the momentum grabbing but I feel compelled to now.

I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT TOMBA! My grandparents had it at their house (for some strange reason) and I used to play this all the time with my cousins. We have a video game review show and this will definitely have to be a future episode. Great review (especially the relation to Fujiwara).

Great video!

The game is a great masterpiece of Tokuro Fujiwara and his team! the game should get attention. So that there is a third part or remastered, i wait for third part long time😭

Wow we've got our own OP for tomba ?
My younger self is squeeling like a fangirl... eh childhood

Tomba is HARD! We used to have the demo as kids so I was very excited to finally play through as an adult but my god! The difficulty spikes into the stratosphere at certain points. I'm gonna be at this for quite a while I think 😂.

For a while i thought i was the only one who played this game.

SONY NEEDS TO LET THIS MAN MAKE A TOMBA 3

Best game on the PS1

such an underrated gem

Tomba community UNITE

Ive never really played the first one but Tomba 2 was the shit. I had it back on the original ps1

Tomba 2 is infinitely better

man why can these pigs just let a brotha live?

Theres nothing like old games im going to get a new playstation just so i can appreciate some of these classics again

I love this game!

Seeing as how they're gonna release a remake for 'Ghosts n Goblins', I really hope that they also do a remake for 'Tomba' and its sequel. Never played the sequel, and I would love to. Let it have ports to consoles other than PS4/5 too (Especially the Switch 😜).

we need to send sony a message for a remake of tomba or at least a remaster for ps 4 and 5

This game was ahead of its time.

Im glad I bought this game when it was still cheap. Can’t believe how expensive this and SOTN are now jesus christ

game holds up, played hundreds of games and this is one that i remember.

Anybody else think tomba would've been a great addition to smash bros? His move set would be great and watching the glitter trail behind him would be so satisfying. What would be his final smash though?

Found my old ps1 games i stole from gamestop as a kid and am currently replaying the shit out of tomba

That demo was so unreal, I’m still so mad my parents never wanted to buy it for me. I get it, it was expensive and we were sorta broke but such a fantastic concept that deserved so many more variations.

Anyone remember playing this on the PS one enhanced demo disk? 😃

I remember playing the demo and loved it and very rare to get online on eBay on ps1

such a beautiful game

This game needs a remaster.

Controls are way too clunky for me. I was hoping at some point the game would suck me in but after an hour or so It was quitting time.

check out the Wonder Boy in Monster World Series, I feel like this game has more in common with those games than metroidvanias.

Just because you have the hair doesn't mean you have the powers lol . Or at least that's what I remember from the commercials. I loved this game , I remember thinking the graphics were amazing and the game play was so fun. Thanks for the great review.

Anyone else notice the tombi logo icon looks a lot like the sonic team logo icon, just pink.

This game has some missable events like the funga, barrel and plant a flower.

If anyone wants to play this game its available on the European, American and Japanese PS3 Stores. The price varys based on were you buy it and the American version of Tomba is available on the European PS3 Store.

Here because recommendation and the remaster news

Love this video. I have both 1 and 2. just 100% tomba 2, working on the first still lol.

God Bless you ALL!

Tomba! Was my favorite game. As soon as I played the demo my dad bought me the game. He saw how much I played it. Tomba had so many moves, tools and clothes, it was so complex too. My hands used to cramp up playing this lol The soundtrack was fire. It was a good game for the time period.

THERE MAKEING A Tomba REMAKE

Tombi 1 and 2 are just fantastic. ❤

This was one of my first video games. I didn't know any english and I was too bad to progress in the game. Good times.

Loved this game as a kid!
