Weak

Good Idea - Bad Control Scheme

The Game from the opening credits looked wonderful, lush landscapes and well animated characters...then it went downhill fast.
The dialogues between characters was horrible...not the script but the lip sync, it was like watching a dubbed japanese film.
And the attacks are just as bad, everytime Jack does his basic move he says "Soul Ripper" or something like that (i've blocked it from memory) so many times it'll drive you mad.
But the very worst thing about the game it the camera control...there is none. You can only see what the game it programmed to show you, no optional 1st person look around perspective and it makes it near impossible to find you way on search missions and a dreaded maze level. I gave up and sent it back at this point. No wonder it did so bad in the stores. Gamefly, please remove this game from your selection and do the world a favor, burn them all.

This game is a button smasher to say the least. On the other hand if you like Tim Burton's movies "the Nightmare before Christmas" or "The Corpse Bride" you will love this. It has the same feel and look. They a good job on making the the characters look the same. The voice over work on most are o.k. but some are really hurting. There is a interesting dance mode when fighting level bosses. I have not been able to pull it off with great skill but that is because of me not the game. I do not feel that this game is one that most would want to buy and play over and over. But it is worth playing through once at least.

Fun game but didn't like musicals when fighting bosses or control to run.
