Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge Reviews
Great game. Prepared to get Jack's signature "Soul Robber" line stuck in your head.
I highly recomend this to anyone. This is the type of game that once you start playing you can't stop thus far it has to be one of the most intertaning games that I have played in a long time.
Hours of fun. I play the game daily. Can't put it down.
But that's just nitpicky. I got this game for Christmasnow I'm not a serious gamer by any means at all, but I enjoyed playing it (I have only gotten to like the 3rd level so I guess I don't really know). The characters are lifelike and stick to the movie; one complaint I have is the camera is fixed so you can't see enemies approaching in certain areas. Overall, The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge is a MUST for game fans.
The voice work is excellent, with most of the original cast from the movie lending a hand. Use of the soul robber also ilicits an announcement of "Soul Robber." EVERY SINGLE TIME you use it, which is just stupid if you ask me and quite irritating. Overall, it is a good game that seems well thought out and true to the original movie. The camera is fixed so you are not able to look around, which can be a bit frustrating at times, especially when the scenery is blocking the action. The music, also (for the most part) from the movie, can be a bit repetitive as can the character comments.
You can agitate enemies to gain bonus points by slapping the soul robber (the main weapon) to the ground, this is a huge flaw because the camera zooms in on Jack and you can't see anything around him, which usually leads to a swipe or two from an enemy. The other character costumes, which come with other powers are used primarily for specific tasks and the soul robber can't be used with either alternate character form so you're stuck flame throwing (until your red souls quickly run out) or tossing presents and screeching "Merry Christmas" at everyone, which also has limited effect. If you are a fan of the movie, then this game is for you.
Being familiar with the original movie pays off with some trivia games thrown into the puzzle mix. Also, the soul robber could have some more combo attacks since it is the weapon of choice throughout the game. The game is straightforward and flows smoothly from one scenario to the next.
There are a few flaws in the game though, that really detract from the gameplay overall. Gameplay is fun and can be challenging at times with a mixture of fighting and puzzle solving. The graphics are good but can be grainy in spots.
The storyline sticks to the movie and you'll see all of the main characters pop up at one point or another.
