Voodoo Vince

What X-box says:

Vince was just a voodoo doll in a French Quarter shop, but when his maker was kidnapped, he became a vengeful doll on a mission! Using voodoo powers, Vince must kick his own butt to beat his enemies! If he stands under a falling safe, bad guys get flattened! Stick a pitch fork in him, and his enemies are done!

TESTER 01

Name:

Viva

Age:

25

Console:

X-Box

Gameplay: You play Vince, who sets to save the kidnapped Madame Charmaine, owner of the shop. Throughout his journey, Vince gains supernatural powers and beats horrifying looking monsters. The gameplay is similar to that of the classic Mario Brothers. You have to destroy the little enemies while collecting valuables to replenish your energy, gain extra power, and even additional lives. There are lots of secret areas and tricks to explore.

Graphics: The clever use of sharp colours makes this game even more attractive. The camera angles can be adjusted smoothly.

Overall: The game is fairly easy but fun, and is perhaps one of the best pieces from X-Box.

TESTER 02

Name:

CC

Age:

16

Console:

X-Box

Gameplay: The lead character in the game, Vince, a voodoo doll, tries to rescue his creator and mistress of magic, Madam Charmaine, who has been kidnapped by the evil Kosmo the Inscrutable. The doll kills enemies by performing punches, spinning attacks and powerful headers. He also emits damaging energy by throwing himself in front of speeding trains or hopping into a meat grinder to kill enemies. The player can collect power moves at every level to strengthen the doll's power.

Graphics: The character is cute. You can see the doll executing different moves clearly and smoothly. The background graphics are great in general.

Overall: It's a funny and easy-to-play game. However, it takes you a while to figure out the trick of getting to the next level, which can be annoying. The complicated animation sometimes slows the progress of the game.
