Voodoo Vince: Hi-Res Gameplay Videos

X03: Check out tonnes of direct feed footage from our hands-on with this lovable Xbox platform game - only at Kikizo.

Vince the Voodoo Doll is one of the most lovable platform characters in a long time, there's no question about it. An unlikely hero, Vince comes to life after thieves steal some sacred voodoo dust and initially his mission is to save the owner of the raided voodoo shop.

Madam Charmaine, the voodoo shop owner who's been kidnapped by the thieves, guides Vince through the game via their psychic connection. Speaking in a strong African accent, the lady offers Vince advice and guides the doll through his missions. As Vince, you'll come up against all manner of amusing opponents, all very unusual, as they've appeared from the magic of the voodoo dust as well.

At its core, Voodoo Vince is a reasonably standard platforming affair, but the twist is that, in order to defeat enemies, Vince must harm or destroy himself in various ways. As you'll see in our exclusive videos below, you'll have to shove pins into yourself, get squashed by gigantic objects, jump into a huge shredding machine, and set your self alight.

Vince will always emerge unharmed, but through the magic of the voodoo powers he boasts, the enemies will die as if they'd been shredded, burn or whatever. The rest of the platform game, from what we've played through so far, is beautifully presented, boasts fantastic visuals, hellishly funny characters and voice acting, and quite imaginatively designed levels.

We'll be reviewing this as soon as the final game arrives, and in the meantime we urge you to check out our fantastic videos available below.
