While not terribly original, Voodoo Vince is so irreverent and fun to play that it's worth looking into for anybody with an Xbox One.
If you've ever wanted to play as a voodoo doll who hurts himself to defeat his enemies then here's a game for you. Originally released in 2003, Voodoo Vince is back for more punishment on Xbox One but is it a game worthy of yet another remaster?
Voodoo Vince's action doesn't deviate much from the standard conventions of early 21st-century platformers, but its jazzy music and bizarre New Orleans look render it a memorable experience. With modernized textures, resolution, aspect ratio, and frame rate, this remastered version updates Vince for a new generation, and hopefully ensures he won't get buried like he was in his former incarnation as an Xbox exclusive.
He may not have the heritage of Crash Bandicoot or Sonic the Hedgehog, but once again being in control of Vince the voodoo doll is a nice feeling. He’s conceptually a great character that this title perhaps doesn’t make the best use of, but Voodoo Vince remains a solid 3D platformer regardless. If you don’t mind the dated visuals and a few niggling camera issues, Voodoo Vince: Remastered is well worth a look if you haven’t sampled it before, simply for its unique theme and varied gameplay. Those with fond memories of playing it on the original Xbox may even want to consider picking it up thank...
Play a voodoo doll who needs to save his creator from utter destruction. You will need to fight using your voodoo abilities, lots of platforming, solving puzzles, and doing interesting tasks that will guide you back to your creator. It's a challenging ride, will you be able to stop Kosmo from delivering evil?
With lackluster plot, awful comedy, and shallow gameplay, I just don’t see where the following comes from. Voodoo Vince should be commended for trying to add variety and humor, but ultimately the execution is not there. Perhaps harsh on a game that is no worse than mediocre, I did experience brief nuggets of bliss, but they were rare. More often than not you’ll be frustrated, leading you to believe you’re the real victim when Vince sticks pins into himself.
