Snarky and funny romp through the Big Easy April 26, 2007
Basically, Voodoo Vince takes a page from Midevil and Psyconauts and uses rock solid game play with a total ascrewed off beat sense of humor.
You are Vince, Madam Charmaine's 3rd best Voodoo doll, brought to life by a pair of blundering goons trying to steal a bottle of magic Voodoo powder. While Vince has the classic jump, double jump and melee attacks, where he shines is in self-inflicted punishment. He has a variety of special attacks that hits him with some bizzare attack, resulting in him transfering it to all enemies in range (he is still a voodoo doll, after all). Combine that with his smart mouth, rather lazy attitude, and all out randomness it makes for a new twist on a classic idea.
It is most certainly worth picking up (particularly now since the price has come down so much), and just letting yourself laugh outloud at all the random silliness contained within.
A really top-notch platformer April 12, 2007
What makes this game great is that the boards are highly varied (some are puzzle boards, some racing, some fighting, some action, some mazes, etc) but each board focuses on *one* thing. If it is a puzzle board, then you are safe to wander around and try things out. If it is a fighting board, then you beat the heck out of everything you see. It is exciting without being overwhelming. Everyone will find some of the boards to be *really* hard, because that particular type of board will be their weakness.
Although this is a one-player game, we found that it is best played with a driver/navigator combo -- one person playing and trying to deal with whatever is coming at them, while the other person is watching carefully to try to see where the important parts of the board are hiding.
I'm playing it with my nine year old, and it works out great. He's terrible at the methodical (puzzle) boards and the racing (agility) boards. I can't deal with the three- and four-button combos in the fight boards. Between us, we can work through the game without getting frustrated.
The humor in the game is really top notch, as are the voice-overs. ("Something in here smells like sausage. I hope it's sausage!") Unlike most platformers, there are lots of totally unnecessary bits in the game to throw you off the trail -- In most games, when you see an item you can pick up, it always has some critical importance. But not in this game!
Fun, fun, fun...kids loved watching me play it March 23, 2007
First game I've bought that actually encouraged bonding between my kids and I...they loved watching me play it and clamored for "Voodoo Vince" quite often. Great game!
