A very underrated and almost forgotten launch title for the PS3.
Mix Pokemon, and Psychonauts, with supernatural murder mystery plot set in rural Ireland.
This game has:
Comic book style visual narrative as well as fully rendered cutscenes,
Level concepts are based on the different perceptions of the afterlife rather than individual minds as per Psychonauts,
A compelling story told through two protagonists, with alternating POV.
Competent use of the PS3's Sixasis controllers,
Unique enemies based on traditional folklore
Hack/slash and puzzle based combat using the souls of your fallen enemies as weapons each varying in speed, power, range, and effect.*
Can be played with a friend, but is not CO-OP as both protagonists have to complete a different version of the same level individually to advance the plot.
I would love to see a ZP on this. Even if he trashes it.
*However, changing which souls you have equipped does cause a rather noticeable loading gap though, but you can have 4 at a time equipped it shouldn't come up too often once you know the correct combination to get past puzzle bosses and/or elemental barriers.
