    This adventure looks great, its landscape dominated by crooked buildings and brooding grey skies; navigating Jack is simple and the characters are all well realised. A perfect children’s game.

    The frequent backtracking gets annoying, but given that Oogie's Revenge is like Devil May Cry and was developed by Capcom, it still manages to provide a memorable experience.

    Unless you really enjoyed watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, there are plenty of other action adventure games with much more value.

    The fact that it was finished last year and released in Japan in 2004 and left until now, with no changes, is just one of god’s mysteries.

    Long on style and short on substance.

    While it captures the sweet essence of the film from so long ago, it fails to motivate with its stale gameplay.

They have truly captured the whimsically dark and quirky look of the film, as well as nailing the ghoulish character's bittersweet innoence absoluetly spot on. The music and voice talent truly feel like a sequel to the movie, and Capcom have truly captured Burton's formula in this one.

    I took the ten away because of the game being very close to Devil May Cry's combat system, and that the storyline was a tad predictable considering where the film leaft off. also, because the game can get mildly cobfusing at points too.

    Overall, a near-on perfect movie tie-in video game replica of Burton's hit movie.    … Expand
