Janky and repetitive collectable platformer with a strong opening and a weak end game. Excellent music and theming with enjoyable characters. Great dry humour. Forced the 100% and the final level/boss were a pain.
I love 00s mascot platformers and consider myself to be very lenient with their shortcomings.
Despite this, i found myself actively disliking Voodoo Vince. Vince himself is a annoying asshole, the platforming feels slow and terrible and the back half of the levels are some of the most tedious levels in platforming.

Dry/blunt 2003 humour + ear melting jazzy OST came in clutch. Otherwise it's a pretty trippy but basic platformer. Fans of psychonauts, rayman, bfbb might like this
Childhood approved!
Primera vez que juego un plataformas de xbox (almenos de forma general, ya que sunset overdrive tiene cosas plataformeras pero no es tan juego puro de este genero). Es muy divertido e interesante, a la vez que con una estetica unica y musica muy ambiental que de hecho me termina relajando, lo unico es que siento que los coleccionables morados no aportan tanto, a diferencia del de las vidas. Pero en fin, me gusto mucho.
vince is on some king shit
who does vince voodoo, bitch?!
Volví a tener 6 años con Voodoo Vince, qué ganas tenía de pasármelo de una vez después de jugarlo tanto de pequeño en mi Xbox original. Otro plataformas más (y todo hay que decirlo, muy sencillito) de los chorrocientos que salieron a comienzos de la década de los 2000, pero joder, este juego es literalmente la definición de puro alma, igual que Rayman 3.
La banda sonora totalmente jazz y blues es una locura, super infravalorado en todos los aspectos. Otra aspecto a destacar, los jefes, me han gustado mucho los combates (casi) en su totalidad.
Top tier track: Main Street

I was so ready to give this 4 stars. It's charming, fun, a little bit aged in its humor but ultimately a good time with maybe one or two jank mechanics. But then you get to the final level, the carnival, and HOLY SHIT the carnival. This is what everybody THINKS the Meat Circus from Psychonauts is in terms of difficulty, that shit was baaaaad. Directionless, way too precise platforming had me suffering for a couple hours, and soured the game for me.
It's a solid game, and if you can get it at a discount (I got it on Steam for $4) I'd say it's worth it, but beware of that carnival level lol.

honestly? one the more bare bones and vanilla 3D platformers ive played that got REAL tedious around the second half and has aged not that well overall i think.
But hey, the ost is a jam and the art direction is real nice, not worth a second visit tho.

really solid! very fun way to relive a charming little game from my youth. cameras still fucked though
You must be Voodoo Vince if you think we fuckin
A very chill platformer that looks cool, has a enjoyable protag, doesnt run too long, and has banger music. A lot of platforms feel like I shouldn't be on them though and it culminates in the last few levels where you have to climb on amusement rides (these are terrible and not fun) and climbing the boss (also not fun).

this would be a 5/5 but the last level sucks so much ass that i knocked off a star and a half
