What’s this? What’s this? It’s my HD debut!
What’s this? A Christmas special too!
Yes, this time around, I’m taking a look at an old personal
favourite. Released in 2004, Capcom’s Oogie’s Revenge for the PS2 served as a
near-perfect tribute to the original Tim Burton classic ‘The Nightmare Before
Christmas’. Does it still hold up?
It does indeed, and tremendously at that. After Jack
Skellington leaves Halloween Town in search of new scares for next year’s
Halloween celebrations, the three brats Lock, Shock and Barrel emerge and, in
what is arguably a retrograde move in terms of character development, somehow
resurrect Oogie – the boogiest (and buggiest) of baddies. Jack returns to find
the town overthrown and in peril as Oogie’s takeover is so very near
completion. It’s up to Jack to employ some killer dance moves to pay him out –
bugs and all.
Thanks to Katie Soley for your request. I hope you enjoyed,
and that I’ve offered a few new thoughts on the game.

PS: Oh, and for those keeping up with my Giant Spider
Alerts, you’ll notice I’ve begun to number them. In case there’s anybody sad
enough to point this out, I just wanna make it clear I’m including the arachnid
from Aladdin in Nasira’s Revenge. Just so we’re clear…
