Is there a game that's funkier than Toejam and Earl? ...probably not.
Toejam and Earl have crashed their spaceship on a hostile and deranged planet, otherwise known as Earth, and they've got to find all of the scattered pieces to put their ship back together. It's a great top-down adventure game best played in co-op mode with a friend; that way you can cover more ground when exploring the map while also sharing items and health as well.
The game has a fantastic soundtrack with some of the most recognisable melodies of all time, perfect funk rhythms to match your casual strolls across the Earth. The only thing that keeps the game from being a walk in the park is the eccentric earthlings that attack TJ & E wherever they go. There's Boogie Men holding pitchforks, cackling dentists with drills and even a platoon of chickens armed with tomato launching mortars.
TJ & E aren't entirely helpless however, as there are presents scattered throughout the world that contain a wide variety of power ups. For instance Super Hi-Tops that allow for sprinting, Icarus Wings for flying and Boom boxes to distract enemies with a funky groove.
Sega have released Toejam and Earl on every platform imaginable now so there's no excuse for you not to have played this classic game. So grab a friend and give these two aliens a hand putting their spaceship back together.
