    This adventure looks great, its landscape dominated by crooked buildings and brooding grey skies; navigating Jack is simple and the characters are all well realised. A perfect children's game.

    One of the most alluring hub-based adventures I've ever had the pleasure of playing. [Oct 2005, p.62]

    Although the combat lacks fluidity, and the gameplay needs help in the innovation category, Oogie's Revenge stays truthful to the film from which it was spawned, and is sure to please fans.
  4. Gaming Horizon

    The game features fun and innovative boss fights and your Soul Robber weapon is nice too. Those elements are solid, but Capcom didn't perfect key aspects of the game including the terrible camera angles and repetitive fighting that causes the game to be irritating.

    It was fun at first, but got grindingly boring as I kept playing.
  6. GameSpy

    This flawed action-adventure title kicks the long, spindly legs right out from under the Nightmare franchise and threatens to disappoint young and old gamers alike.

    As a fan of the movie, I really love the characters, but the uninspired and repetitive gameplay really hurts it in the long run.
