I tried this today for maybe 15-20min. At first, when the game started with the first cutscene I was thrilled abit as it seemed very Tim Burton-ish. But few seconds later it went downhill. You start as a small boy or something like that and you gotta scare the other kids away. How? Well, you smash few snowmen and the kids start to run.
The minions were nice, they look like Gremlins, but they arent as insane as them. But there was few times the game made me smile or even laugh (and just to remind, this was in the first 15-20min).
I really cant say if I like this or not. Somehow, the main character doesnt fit with the rest of the world wich is kinda cartoony, yet you are dressed like one of the black knight things from LOTR. Ow and the seal clubbing thing was IMHO not necessary, not that I give a flying f**k if someone clubs a seal 1000km from me IRL, but I just dont see the point of it. The game says I have to gather lifeforce by killing them, but it just feels so... forced evil. You know, like the game tries to be evil, yet it isnt. Hard to explain, anywho it was stupid (yes yes, I clubbed them still... little cheery ****ers).
Ow well, I'll try it again tomorrow and see if I can be arsed to try it abit further.
