Awful

i dont see what the awsomeness was in this game that the other reviewers did, but i think it was awful. i liked the opening scene, it was cute, but rite when i started playing it, im like, dude! this is horrible! it is like, impossiible to get those annoying little demons off of your character, and i agree with that other reviewer that if you make one wrong step, your dead and have to start again. its awful, i highly advize against buying this game before renting it.

I rented this game once, thinking it might be a cool rpg/ puzzle solving. Boy- Was I wrong. This game is very boring, and has no real point. It is extremely hard to maneuver your character without a demon jumping on your back, or your character falling to his death. I gave up after the first level. Whatever you do...DO NOT buy this game.

A little scary for the younger crowd

I would have to agree with the other reviewer. It is not a game for kids under 10... I purchased it for my 7-8 yr olds and they freaked out as the first scene played out. The controls have to be tight, and whatever you do don't make a mistake. After trying it out myself, I kind of felt like throwing the controller down. One misstep and I had to start over. Oh well. Maybe the 10 yr olds have a better chance than I do!

This was a very cute game. It's not what i had expected but was still an excellent pick. I was looking for a role playing game which this is not. Its an adventure game in which the boy travels through very scary scenes killing shadow monsters. It has very good comic type graphics and is not too scary so that younger players can enjoy it. It does take some thought and trial and error to get through some areas so i don't recommend it for those younger than ten or so.

A romp through detail, depth, humor, and intrigue

I'm pretty selective with my games, so I did a lot of research before trying the game, the graphics and sheer playability of this game were well thought of. I'm a huge fan of high graphic games. This game did not fall short at all!

The control is a bit off, and when the cinematics play, I find the voice over a little too quiet for my hearing; kind of frustrating if you want to get every detail of the story.

However, cinematic play is pretty smooth, and the background and characters have tremendous detail put into them. (I'm amazed at the detail that was put into the heros hands when he's rock climbing.)

Frustratingly, the enemies in this game pile on in overwelming proportions, within first five minutes of gameplay, so you better be quick to fire; IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE to get past them, just keep faith and persistence it doesn't take much to die in this game, but you also have unlimited lives as well, so theres never a gameover, until you put the game down. In every few screens you'll reach a save point. (memory card compatible too)

The puzzles in this game are not extremely difficult nor are they boringly simple, I would not reccomend this to anyone under 10 or someone with little patience or perserverence. It does take some actual problem solving.
The things that jump out of this game will keep you on the edge of your seat, and the storyline is pretty entertaining, with humorous parts in it, no matter what your age, if you want a game full of spooky eyecandy, and wholesome entertainment, that will keep you playing for hours, this is definently your game!

BRILLIANT!

It took years for this game to be pushed down my list of all time favorite games. If your looking for a hard game, a brain game, an action game, a science fiction game, a fun game, but not a frusterating game, then you have to buy this one. I beat it in a couple of days, but to this day (years later) I can still remember it and still feel the want of playing it again. I envy those playing this game for the first time. It is a trully unique game that combines the best of "Earthworm Jim", "The Oddworld Series" and even "Lost Vikings" into a wonderful imaginative game.

When i played this game i though that it was stupet but when i had leard what to do then i had started to enjoy it the game is hard and you have to figure out what to do and how to do it the game is just like a puzzle so that makes it more difficult to play the game.

What a Game!

i have'nt had this much fun since i played dragon's lair or enjoy watching my brother this game. it made me shake & laugh ,have'nt done that for a while, plus i was rooting for andy too win just like dirk the daring. so if you're a fan of dragon's lair , space ace , brain dead 13 then you'll love this one. for the arcade kid in all of us . highly recommended!! P.S. kids under five may have nightmares so be careful . good buy for money. it's a two disc, so it's long good luck with it.
