I'll get to this soon. ♦ jaguar 14:50, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • "The game is a sequel to Tomba! and centers on the exploits of a pink-haired feral child named Tomba" - perhaps rephrase this to centers on the exploits of the eponymous feral child to avoid repetition
  • "retains the basic gameplay mechanics" - link game mechanics
  • "it features the additions of 3D polygonal graphics" - this sounds misleading as the vast majority of PS1 games included 3D polygonal graphics to some extent. Do you mean to say that this game featured fully 3D environments, as opposed to its 2.5D-scrolling predecessor?
Development
  • "A fully polygonal approach was taken to the game's graphics" - this reads awkwardly. Perhaps try A fully polygonal approach was applied to the game's graphics, or [The team/Fujiwara] sought to apply a fully polygonal environment to the game's graphics
Reception
  • I usually mention GameRankings' aggregate score in prose at the very beginning, but it's up to you

That's all I have. Overall this is a solid, well written article which provides good readability and is also comprehensive. Once those very minor points are out of the way I'll be happy to promote this. I was aware of this game as a child, but never got to play it sadly! It seems to be something I would have liked. jaguar 21:42, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. As an aside, I was lucky enough to have the game in my own youth, and it's certainly something I'd recommend if you can get your hands on it. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 22:10, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Cat'sTuxedo. With those minor points out of the way this is definitely good to go. Yes, nothing an emulator can't solve! jaguar 22:14, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
