First Look: ToeJam & Earl III: All Funked Up

First Look by STARDINGO | 07/29/2002 | 16:10:18 PM PST

Big Earl and ToeJam (Remember them? ?Course you do, foo.) are comin? out of the retirement shiz-ack, Xclusively on Xbox.

Shout Out
A?ight, so some bunk Earthling contingency done up and stole the Grand Funkopotamus? 12 Sacred Albums of Funk, scattering them all across that terminally un-chill so-called planetoid Earth. Ce n'est pas funky. Sho? nuff, Big Earl and ToeJam (Remember them? ?Course you do, foo.) are comin? out of the retirement shiz-ack to retrieve them, Xclusively on Xbox. A new alien girl named Latisha is in the hudak, too?and things, well, they about to get All Funked Up.

X-Funk All-Stars
Truly, the name of the new game is ToeJam & Earl III: All Funked Up, but it might as well be called ?ToeJam & Earl & Latisha: Doin? So Much Crazy Crap Yo? Head Finna Explode In A Big Mess? on account of all the variety. Visual Concepts is reconstitutinatin? and then super-multiplying that original TJ&E flava with so many randomly-generated levels they threaten to squash your silly jerk face, over 60 power-up presents from Santa Funk (some dope, some bunk), and mini-games that have you doin? crazy fool things like racing on Rocket Skates or turning ordinary poultry into funky Afro-havin? Foster Farms chickens using alien rhythm. There?s even gonna be a cooperative two-player spliz-it scriz-een mode so you and your home-boy/girl/thing can kick it together.

Two Planets, Under Funk
?Course, in addition to the mission of fishin? out the vinyl, TJ, E, and L have made it their own personal funkupation to convert any ridiculous Earthlings they see (like the Yeti who fronts like a human but then ganks you with a pencil) to the ways of Funk, filling their hearts with soul using powers like Funk-Fu and a rhythm-matching weapon that has you tapping buttons in time with music. So funky-fresh is this weapon, it could make even PaRappa and Ulala fall into two million tiny pieces each (four million total) from the shock of being so stupefyingly out-funked. Yo, that is punch-you-in-tha-mouf insaaaane.
