    If you are a fan of the first and second games dating back to sega genesis then this is for you. It’s very similar to the first one just way better graphics and more abilities. I’ve only played it for an hour but I really enjoyed it. Setting up two players was a bit tricky but otherwise easy to maneuver through the settings. Maneuverability of the characters is pretty good however traversing the narrow paths can be tough. It is very easy to fall and swim unlike the original game.

    I have played all the ToeJam And Earl games since the Sega Genesis Days it has updated graphics and similar game play you get from this game like it was back in the day but even better if you pick this one up it's like the 80s all over again but better you will not be disappointed.

    Fans of this series will easily get their longing fill of the gameplay they know and love with this entry now in the form of a physical Switch copy which I absolutely see necessary to snag myself whenever I can. While it doesn’t include any neat little bonuses for being physical, I can definitely say it has one of if not the largest game manual I’ve ever seen!

    ToeJam and Earl was a great, unique game for the Genesis, and it's captured quite perfectly in this (way overdue) sequel/follow-up. The physical release has some really neat extras, like a manual, which really makes it a worthwhile purchase as opposed to the digital download. Highly recommended.

    Having played all of them, the first ToeJam & Earl on the Sega Genesis is my most lasting memory of the series. This looks and feels like a true sequel to the first. I'm having a great time jamming with the guys again.

    This is a limited physical copy print of ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! for the Nintendo Switch. Published by LimitedRunGames, this is a BestBuy exclusive with variant cover art. Good game for anyone, but will be enjoyed more by people who have played the original ToeJam & Earl games, bringing back a sense of nostalgia.

    I used to play Toejam and Earl on the Sega Genesis, and playing this on my Switch brings back lots of fun memories. This iteration is definitely more challenging. They've added some new creatures(humans?) and your characters can now gain stronger skills. If you liked the original, pop this one in!

    We had the opportunity to play this game at PAX East in Boston this past spring. It is an updated game of the 90s version to play but a little easier. It's so much fun to play.

    This game is just like the Sega version, but with a few twists. There are sometimes it glitches, but that is just more on theme with recreating the Sega version.
