Key
features: Continues the beloved story of Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie and other familiar favorites in a whole new adventure. Faithful depictions of environments and characters. Expanded areas of Halloween Town inspired by the original movie. Returning cast members include speaking voices of Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie, The Mayor and more. Inventive and versatile “rubber soul” weapon: A rubbery green shape-shifting creature that has attached itself to Jack’s arm. Transforms, stretches, shrinks and sticks to a variety of objects. Allows Jack to fend off attacking enemies. Grabs distant items as weapons to throw at enemies. Latches onto high places that Jack may not have been able to reach otherwise. Special real-time costume change attacks. Special feature allows Jack to become Santa Jack or The Pumpkin King. Santa Jack can throw surprise Halloween presents to stun the enemy and also summon a snowman to freeze the enemy; then switch back to normal and finish them off with the rubber soul. Just as in the movie, The Pumpkin King allows Jack to blast out flames and unleash a devastating fire attack upon enemies. Music based battles: A special attack mode based on song selections. Build up Jack’s power meter by matching buttons, which appear on screen as the music plays. Successfully corresponding Jack with the music will allow him to blast an attack at the enemy. - Siddharth Masand (May 23, 2004) |
