"Voodoo Vince"

Picked the game up yesterday and after finishing my NFL Fever 2004 season, I put this game on. Really enjoying it so far. ;-) The voodoo powers are cool and its a pretty sound platform game with decent graphics and sense of humour to it (mind you a game with a voodoo doll as a character would really).

Just got past the first boss and I'm having a break from it for a little while. Great little game though so far. ;-)
Anyone else picked this up ?

But then what games aren't repetitive in the long run ? FPS games just have you shooting people again and again, fighting games are just round after round of the same moves, racing games just have you doing the same thing around various circuits.

In my opinion, Voodoo Vince is just as original as any other title really. It all comes down to if you enjoy the kind of gameplay it offers. Of course you have the typical platform ingredients to the game, but you also get the little sub level stuff that includes riding a plane, the rat rodeo boss and riding a basket along washing lines, etc.
Plus of course there are the voodoo powers that add some fun to things and unlike a lot of platform games, collecting the various stuff actually helps you beyond simply earning an extra life. 100 blue bottles gives you an extra notch onto your life bar, collecting the pages in each level unlocks a skull which you can then chase down to be rewarded with an extra storage for voodoo powers, then of course the voodoo icons unlock new powers.
So when I'm playing through the levels, I try to make sure I find everything in the level cause it helps for later on.

I like this game a lot - plus I have Wallace and Gromit to carry on with too which is another decent platform game. :-)
Looking forward to Whiplash when it comes out. :-)

I think this game is original, I know it is very contoversial at the minute, but think, how many other games star a voodoo doll in a platformer?
Well, I can't think of any other games.
Also aren't all games formulaic? I mean how many different genres are there and how many sequels come out? To an extent all games are the same as they all try and better each other with graphics and lastability.
Give Voodoo Vince a chance and you will be presently surprised. Vodoo Vince is fun and looks good. Try it and see.

Hey Sav.. Guess who's back :D

Hi mate. ;-)

Haven't seen you on here for awhile. ;-))

How does it compare to Blinx?

I rate it as better than Blinx. ;-)

If it was completely and utterly miles better than Blinx then I might consider it :D
