Tamarin Reviews
Tamarin ended up as a big disappointment for me. I imagined the cute platformer that it could have been again and again. But the Uzi that you receive in minute five changes everything - and the inaccurate shooting mechanics and horrible camera don't even make shooting with it enjoyable. There are a lot of good ideas in Tamarin but they have not been executed well.

I was really hoping Tamarin was going to be the spiritual sequel to Jet Force Gemini I’ve been waiting for the past twenty years. What I ended up getting was a carbon copy of an old game with even clunkier controls, underwhelming production values, a terrible setting, and not a single droplet of charisma or humor.
One of the more disappointing games of the year, Tamarin is pretty to look at but dead behind the eyes, offering very little to win over fans of Rare’s golden age.
There’s no denying that it’s fun and well-designed, with solid 3D platforming gameplay and third-person shooter combat, but the blatant lack of cohesion between these two styles of gameplay results in the overall package feeling a bit odd.
