Ever there is one small but beautiful, and even an amazing city. The city, home to almost all known generation nightmares of witches and vampires to zombies and werewolves. The name of this land of promise - Halloween Town, and ruled it a wise Jack Skelington, the true king of terror and horror. Jack loved his subjects and is incredibly popular with ordinary mortals. But, unfortunately, and he get into trouble, the main source of which - obnoxious fat Ugi-Boogie and his malicious assistants. Because of them all in Halloween Town, which once went wrong. And Jack, willy-nilly will have to correct the situation.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween ... In the hometown Skelingtona gray, dingy and gloomy. Everywhere forbidding lattice and boarded-up doors. Residents hid in their homes, streets remained a militant skeletons so angry ghosts. In a word, the sight of a very, very sad.
And it is quite bleak is because the developers and were not particularly zealous: if the character models look even passably well, then the scenery creators Oogie's Revenge openly regretted the time and polygons. Textures are blurred and resemble the first months of life of the PS2 and Xbox. And as the color ... Such an excess of gray and brown, we in the games from Capcom have not seen since the days of shabby Chaos Legion. From the full ugliness game save one - a good work of artists, although there is merit, rather, belongs to the original animated film in 1993.
 | We put the records |
Oogie's Revenge, like Devil May Cry, is divided into chapters. At the end of each of our successes (number of slain vampires received damage, etc.) are added and brought the overall score - from the very very indecent to win the «S». And the higher the score, the more bonuses can get.

Jack - Pumpkin Head However, enough about appearance - in fact not in the beauty of happiness. Be Oogie's Revenge masterpiece in everything else, we would be happy to forgive her these small sins. Unfortunately, with forgiveness will have to wait: either the fault of the villain Ughi, or even why, but the subject of this review is suffering not only from his own homeliness - other difficulties, too lacking.
Say, turned out to be extremely monotonous fights with ordinary opponents, such as those same ghosts and skeletons. And regardless of the weapons. Lupit whether Jack's enemies strange green toffee Soul Robber, spits out a fire, taking shape Pumpkin King (The Pumpkin King), or under the guise of Santa Claus throws exploding gifts - you do not feel much difference. So and so click on one, well, a maximum of two buttons always stands to benefit - the enemies of both the selection of the clumsy and not very tenacious. More or less have a decent resistance except bosses, which the social situation requires somehow spoil us with your life. To them, Jack is always in store especially killer weapon - a super-musical techniques. Use them easily: they put colored notes in abundance syplyuschiesya from foe, and when the time comes, quickly press the buttons in the proposed sequence. And watch for what miracles can music!

Christmas Song Speaking of music. It is really good - let praise again refers rather to the source. That there is a main topic! Or duo of Jack and his Frankenstein's monster looks like a sweetheart! Actors, among other things, too, have tried their best. Sometimes becomes a bit of a shame - with such colorful personalities of the dialogues in the game so very little! Three-Mr-Hyde, two witches-skuperdyayki of the shop, unmatched Ugi, the local genius of Dr. Finkelstein - they just remember. Why not be said about Oogie's Revenge as a whole.

Here ends the ball went out the candles ... That can be countered by the above shortcomings, but beautiful melodies, dark humor and fun characters from (let's be honest to the end) is not the first freshness cartoon? Convenient control? Yes, perhaps. To commands from the controller, Jack responds instantly and listen to them flawlessly - Attacks, flips, spins like a top, tumbles. The camera, however, in the best tradition of Capcom, sometimes leads to the most important moments, every now and then choosing the most inconvenient form of what is happening. But this, after all, you can get used to. What else? Ah yes, the bonuses! Figurines of characters, gallery of pictures, secret costumes, again, the music - someone they're probably wondering. But take Oogie's Revenge several times for such a "good"? No really, thank you! And do not think, if we find it difficult to devote save Halloween Town a couple of nights! Just around too many games where the more interesting, and we do not want to miss.
| Throughout the pumpkin and the dead |
For Jack Skelingtona Oogie's Revenge did not debut in the arena of video games. Previously, the lover of festivals and an outspoken opponent of all violence had already managed to appear in two joint projects, Disney and Japanese giant Square Enix - Kingdom Hearts (PS2) and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA). On the GBA just recently came out and The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King, virtually unnoticed. However, in fairness, we note that Disney to draw public attention to the Pumpkin King is not very much and tried to - the company far more concerned about multimillion The Chronicles of Narnia, than pumpkins and dead.
