Voodoo Vince

Stick a pin in it, dear?I think it's done. Can Microsoft?s newest platformer succeed where Blinx couldn't quite manage?

Blinx may not have rocked the world last year, but Microsoft hasn't quite abandoned the "character-action game" genre yet. In Voodoo Vince, Vince (the guy you control) is a voodoo doll that's basically invincible?fill up his voodoo meter with the beads enemies drop, and he can launch a "voodoo attack" that roughs him up cartoon-style and does the same to all onscreen enemies.

Despite this wacky premise, the preview version of Vince was fairly tried and true platform stuff with good audiovisuals and some very original ideas. Vince's ability to withstand nearly everything comes in handy at times?at one point, Vince must destroy two sinister gas pumps by setting himself on fire on one end of the level and navigating an obstacle course before he "burns out" so he can set the station aflame. Cute.
