                        Review               Tail of the Sun is one of the most tactical, small-scale empire-builder ever created - the scale here being individual hunters in small tribes. In this 3-D hunter/gatherer you play a prehistoric knuckle-dragger on a quest to, well, exist. Existing entails sleeping, eating berries - actually, they're obviously Japanese sugar cookies, please just don't even ask - hunt down creatures residing on the lower rungs of the food ladder, procreate, and ultimately croak on some godforsaken, windswept tundra. Along the way, you'll develop new skills and weapons for your tribe, which will prepare you to go after the bigger game; specifically, the mammoth, which not only provides scads of meat, but valuable tusks which are used to create your tribe's greatest cultural achievement: The Irritating Control Scheme. No, seriously - the tribe's greatest achievement is The Tower (made of those coveted tusks) with which your tribe will reach toward societal growth, the Sun God, spiritual enlightenment, and all that crystals-and-healing crap. But that's a lofty goal for future generations, and if you don't get out there and take down some fresh meat for the tribe pronto, there ain't gonna be any future generations. So off you go, one warrior at a time, to roam the quiet Earth in search of game. The world is a 3-D environment with multiple terrains, bodies of water, and moving animals, as well as many different varieties of plants (and by 'plants' I mean 'sugar cookies') which, when eaten, have specific benefits for different skills and parts of the body; you will discover plants that increase intelligence, strengthen legs for fast running/hunting skills, or aid the, ahem, procreative faculty. The graphics, in keeping with the game's subject, are minimalistic, reinforcing a primal atmosphere - yeah, right. The graphics are crude, with blocky warriors and creatures, some of which move around like they were stuffed animals tottering around from one leg to the next. Anyway, your warrior's days are numbered as he treks across the wild. Snowstorms, sunrises, and the like reflect the passage of time and seasons. One very simple but nice trick comes when night falls, and the sky becomes a bright, child's kaleidoscope of stars and planets, crossing the sky in uniform arcs like points of light in a planetarium show. As you move about, it immediately becomes apparent that while the world is truly 3-D and unrestrained, your viewpoint is annoyingly bolted firmly to the south - thus, trekking south will have your own character facing you, and trekking west locks the viewpoint to the side of your cromag's progress. This whole setup gets irritating when you're trying to throw new-fangled weapons (such as rocks and spears) at prey because it's more difficult to line up a shot. Another point about hunting while the going's good: Getting your warriors tucked in each night is important, because the sandman comes to say nighty-night in this world with all the subtlety of Krakatau. It's not uncommon when chasing an animal to be running full-bore after some prize piece of game only to suddenly and stiffly face-plant yourself to sleep because you haven't been resting enough in your travels. Do this close to your prey and the animal will have no qualms about mauling you, the sleeping bozo, while you doze. Do this on the steep terrain of a mountain and you will slide down the slope, snoring and spewing Zs all the way to the bottom. There is unquestionably some gameplay here, but it's hard not to feel a little shucked-and-jived by Tail of the Sun's prehistoric schtick, which seems like an excuse for its often lackluster presentation. The music is labeled as 'tribal,' which is fair enough, and the simple graphics, doubtless thought of by their creators as atmospheric, are indeed 'primitive,' but probably not in the intended sense. The best part of Tail of the Sun is freely (if awkwardly) exploring your widely-terrained world and slowly gathering the physical and mental wherewithal to take down a mammoth - an activity which I guarantee you will mess up, and mess up badly, on your first attempt. Perseverance and stubbornness will eventually lead to a tribe of up to 100 people and the eventual construction of the Tower to the sun, but there just isn't enough variety here to keep the attention of the upright-walking. --Chris Hudak --Copyright ©1999 GameSpot Inc.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Exploration Game
*by E***S on May 2, 2011*

I bought this when it first came out. I knew it wasn't going to be a standard action or strategy game. Anyway, it was by ArtDink, which was enough for me to buy it.What I got was astounding. This is one of a tiny number of games to have a vast world to walk around in! (We need more vast worlds in games. Preferably procedural ones, to cut down on the disk space.) Shame there's no way to look southward, or have longer lives. Also, there is an ultimate limit to the tribe which you cannot exceed, meaning everything is limited if you're trying to collect tusks. Fortunately, you can usually get enough in time.There is also a vast cave system if you know where to look. In the south continent is the largest entrance, but if you go all the way there your tribesman will die of old age, lost in the enormous cave.The worst problem with this game today is there is no way to make a map of the game since everything is in 3D. The manual had a crude map but it just wasn't accurate.I've seen all the different endings to this game-- a bunch of strange CG sequences which sort of show the tribe's possible futures.This is an exquisite and beautiful, and very misunderstood game. It's too bad most people can't see past the primitive 32-bit graphics and interface. It's just the game's STYLE.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Different...
*by D***A on April 11, 2005*

Tail of the sun is a unique gaming experience. Not much to look at graphically, but a HUGE world to explore. While this HUGE world is inviting, there is little point to exploration other than to find the 8 or so different animals to kill. Evolving your tribe is little more than killing an animal. No contact with the other tribe members unless you die and need to pick a new one or they do that funny little dance when you have village upgrade. The only changes during the game is your fist becomes a stick, then a axe, then a spear, WOW. You do find aliens(which you can kill), a giant nose, a huge bone, a few ruins, and caves. But the camera angles are soo terrible you get trapped in a cave and cant find your way out. Your person will fall asleep at a moments notice which is funny but stupid too.A intersting foray for a few hours, it took about 6 hours to beat on the medium setting. Which may seem short but if it lasted longer it would be too long to take. Anyways enjoy if you like deep exploration with curious but useless results.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain caveman!
*by T***Y on July 7, 2007*

So you wanna be a caveman? or cavewoman? then this is for you! now you might think it sounds silly but this game can devour your life whole. as of this writing I have recieved a copy *again* and its as fun now as it was way back then and its soundtrack is still excellent and the night sky and stormy skies make this game a true winner! Did I mension the sound? its stunning. never in a game have I heard music and effects this good. I absolutely recommend this to any harvest moon nuts *like me* or anyone whom likes simulations. you start off as your sole tribe member but as you explore the earth *all of it* you will find other animal life, cavemen, and even aliens! its a weird game but its loads of fun. I had been playing what seemed like an hour when I looked at the time and saw 7 hours had passed! I am telling you this is great! the objective of the game besides getting your tribe to grow and advance *yep weapon improvements* so you can finally hunt the Wooly Mammoths for their tusks to build a tower to grab "the tale of the sun" right down to how the game shows your tribes history as a cave painting. I truly wish this would come out for a next gen system like PS3 or PC. Buy it before it vanishes and you miss one of the great art style games *think ico but 1st gen graphics*Graphics: kinda ugly now. still 4 stars for the evening skies.Sound: Superb 5 Star every sound Rocks! from eating to waterfalls!Fun: this rating scale isn't big enough for 10 star fun. so 5 starsOverall: One of the Forgotten Gems of the PS1 grab a copy or you will end up buying one all scratched up off ebay. or worse.Buy It Here !!!Tail of the Sun
