It’s a game for the Xbox made by Rare. It says it right there in the image you posted.

It is way too long and the late game is hard by throwing in retarded restrictions. It is worth playing for a few hours but don't plan on finishing it.

How many Americans played this and didn't know ghoulies is slang for testicles?

The idea of some middle aged guy with bad teeth laughing to himself as he tell the suits at Microsoft the title for his new game over the phone is hilarious to me. You joyless faggot.

It's a beat 'em up, the story is that of an american kid who had a plastic surgery to look like an anime protagonist, and then he goes to a halloween party to kill everyone with a snooker cue.

Seems to be a very detailed digital paintover based on the in-game 3D models; it's pretty neat.

Lol don't waste your time on this. Laziest Rare game ever made and one of the laziest in general. It has no ideas. They thought of a funny name and then barely wrapped a "game" around it. It has no soul.

I don't know how you can be worse than a game with no real gameplay.

>flick stick toward enemies that don't really do anything

I didn't like Kameo either, but I don't remember how bad that one is.

It feels like a modern zx spic title. It has charm in that regard, even if not innovative.

Idk, the colorful cel shading is a bit counterproductive for a "spooky" game. They could have kept the cartoony visual style while going for a high-contrast shading look like Viewtiful Joe

It’s the definition of a 6/10 game. The only decent Rare games from this era are Live and Reloaded and Kameo.

Kind of, but they tried to pull off the sort of awkward looking human character models that you see in early Pixar and Dreamworks movies.

The original LM had a bolder lighting style. The combination of obviously cartoonish characters and locations with somewhat realistic lighting was the charm of that game

I love that story on the Conker's Bad Furday commentary they tell about getting to Rare out of college and thinking how esteemed it will be working with professionals and the first thing they hear is the guy who inspired Beardy calling something a load of fucking shit
