The story takes place one year after the events of the movie. We play as Jack Skellington, who has to fight Oogie Boogie, who wants to take control of the holiday worlds to become the supreme king.
In the game are characters from Halloweentown, such as Sally or Dr. Finkelstein.
To fight, you use a magical green gelatinous whip (the soul thief), with which you can pound enemies. It's pretty fun being able to throw them to the ground or spin them around. Jack can also transform himslef, with the help of different costumes, such as Santa Jack or the Pumpkin King Jack. Each boss that Jack must fight, forces us to play intelligently with the grappling hook and the various transformations.
There are also mini-games on the 24 main chapters in the game. Of course we are treated with some great in-game cutscenes and various well-known music from the movie.
The game is quite complex in terms of its gameplay, but it is a joy to see Jack Skellington again in this opus that Capcom has been able to offer us in this adaptation. This is a really cool game to try.
