Voodoo Vince Remastered
The classic character platformer is back for the first time in over 13 years, and now in glorious high definition! Vince’s adventure takes him from the streets of New Orleans to the depths of a Louisiana bayou to find the whereabouts of his keeper, Madam Charmaine. In true voodoo style, Vince encounters and defeats quirky monsters and villains … by kicking his own butt! By racing under a falling safe, jumping into a high-speed blender, or leaping under falling rubble, Vince is sure to defeat his enemies—all while managing to escape completely unscathed. Voodoo combat action: Players can employ more than 30 voodoo attacks that do outrageous things to Vince, but it's the monsters who end up hurting! Unlike in other games, players must actually USE dangers and hazards, instead of running from them. Falling safes, prickly pushpins, and bolts of lightning bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "no pain, no gain."

Voodoo Vince was a part of my childhood, and I'm very pleased that measures were taken to remaster and preserve this platforming gem. It's a comfort game for me. The gameplay is pretty simple to learn, and the game has style. The soundtrack is great, and I'm pretty sure there's a unique track for each stage. The game is set in New Orleans, so you'll hear a lot of upbeat jazz which is contrasted nicely with some more downtempo tracks on certain levels. There are unique puzzles that break up the action. The collectables are fun and actually reward you. This is really is a fantastic game and if you haven't played it you should. It should be in text books on how to make a good game.

Finally found a game that was always lingering in the back of my head from when I was a kid. Never beat the game so I thought to give it a go now. All I have to say is this game is unexpectedly difficult! first few levels are a stroll but the last 3 areas are pretty unforgiving. Some of the comments are extremely funny. Overall I loved the game and recommend picking it up!

It was wonderful being able to play through this goofy little platformer again. This game has so much goofy personality packed into it! It is delightful

What an oddity. Still feels like a fever dream playing this game again. I recall it on the original Xbox. A console starving for more mascot platformers. This game, it's different. It really is, more of an adult tone in it's setting.
Voodoo Vince is sarcastic and monotone in delivery. He's not enjoying much of anything being thrust into this situation, and coping with it by a lot of 4th wall breaking sass. You'd think that would be a detriment to the game but it works. The art style very unique, odd. I do like it. Takes a while but the game and it's universe does grow on you. I have to admit the humor, does fall flat more often than not for me. Still far better written than most of the games released now.
Some aspects of the platforming and level design aren't the best. I've had some odd collision detection here and there. Various parts of the levels are frustrating. The collectables though are really worth getting. A lot of unique Voodoo Doll Death dealing animations. You can tell the developers and animators had a lot of fun making those.
All and all a weird but charming bit of history. I'm glad this game is on steam and I highly recommend it. Just for the uniqueness and strangeness of it.

So what we have here is a game with a lot of charm voodoo Aesthetics, fun puzzle system, but the platforming is stall and repetitive and it's not help by the hover mechanic.
Put the character voodoo Vince is a funny one and he pathetic integness is also very fun. It leaves a smile on my face. The only problem is the platforming gets really tedious and collecting doesn't feel rewarding.
Walking through the game is very slow and the camera on controller is also very slow. The combat is mostly just there to see fun voodoo attacks and kill moves. It's just like I enjoyed a game, I enjoy everything around the gameplay but I don't injoy the gameplay.
But that is where you go in, play the game see if the charm is enough to you and have a wonderful time. sadly It is not for me.

Fun 3D platformer, as someone who always wanted to play it when it originally came out on Xbox I'm happy to have finally played through it. The game's strongest point is it's humor, giving strong vibes of Conker's bad fur day. I have some gripes with it, as the combat is a little simplistic and the double jump specifically gave me a lot of grievances (it only works in the 1st half of your jump so if you try to delay it you can often find yourself simply falling to your doom because Vince won't actually double jump) but overall it's a really solid game that I would recommend to anyone that enjoys old School 3D platformers

A quick and enjoyable platformer with a lot of heart and style; The mechanics are fairly standard but the platforming is fun and challenging without being sadistic, and the mixture of traditional brawling mechanics with a 'bomb' style Voodoo radial attack makes the combat more engaging than you'd expect. The music is extremely good, too. 9/10 classic 3D platformer, only held back by a few slightly frustrating sequences in the last few areas that are still quite manageable with a little effort.
