Default The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventur...mas/index.html

It was written as a sequel to the movie, so I hope it turns out good. It's an action adventure and made with the Devil May Cry engine. Most, if not all, of the original voice actors have returned, and it features both music from the film and new tunes.

Its probably going to be better than the usual movie license on account that its done by some fans who have added more interesting stuff. Tim Burton was on Gamer TV and seemed to like it.

Well, it's not really a genre that sells well on PCs, is it?

Not unless if it's about a certain busty young dame with a pistol hostel on each side, jumping around some shifty-looking places, searching for treasures.

I guess even that doesn't sell well anymore, otherwise Core Design wouldn't have gotten ditched for Crystal Dynamics

What do you mean, you were waiting? So you won't get it now despite the fact you own all three current gen consoles?
Please tell me that's not the case, I need to believe world hasn't gone completely mad yet

Well I was kinda hoping for the PC version, I'll still get it, but not I have to choose format and buy 20€ for the console version..

Console games usualy costs 50-60€, while PC ones costs 30-40€...

Yeah. PS2 has terrible graphics. I mean, look at God of War.

God of war is nice, but there aren't many PS2 games on that level. Not compared to PC or xbox. But, graphics aren't the most important thing, so as long as the game turns out to be fun, it shouldn't hurt much.

The developer is capcom. That is why it doesn't come on the PC. When was the last time you've seen a game by Capcom on the PC?

Actually, scratch that. There is a decent amount of 1337 in here. You actually didn't capitalize "War" in "God of War".

Ah, so I didn't. My bad.

What's 1337 now?

Well, at least you have the option to buy the XBOX version. Strangely, there's some conspiracy here in Singapore, against importing any XBOX games that ain't first-person shooter. In fact, I believe that MS prevent any import of XBOX games to Singapore, since there's a DVD press for XBOX game here in Singapore.
