Hollywood quality music and voice casting from the film create a truly cinematic experience

4 out of 5 stars lots of fun   October 23, 2008
Great game! Prepared to get Jack's signature "Soul Robber" line stuck in your head.

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. I highly recomend this to anyone!

I got this game for Christmas--now 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. But that's just nitpicky. Overall, The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge is a MUST for game fans.

If you are a fan of the movie, then this game is for you. The storyline sticks to the movie and you'll see all of the main characters pop up at one point or another. Gameplay is fun and can be challenging at times with a mixture of fighting and puzzle solving. 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. The music, also (for the most part) from the movie, can be a bit repetitive as can the character comments. 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.

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. 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. Also, the soul robber could have some more combo attacks since it is the weapon of choice throughout the game. 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. The graphics are good but can be grainy in spots.

The voice work is excellent, with most of the original cast from the movie lending a hand. Being familiar with the original movie pays off with some trivia games thrown into the puzzle mix. Overall, it is a good game that seems well thought out and true to the original movie.
