    It's infectious, fulfilling, and cheeky as all Hades, so enjoy the heck out of Vince, and then make some noise for a sequel. [Nov 2003, p.75]

    Doesn't really have any significant flaws beyond the odd moment of frustration and the occasional gimmicky voodoo power. It's beautifully presented, full of imagination, and delightfully off-the-wall.

    A challenging yet fully enjoyable platform game. With a name like Voodoo Vince, you don't expect much. But you get much.

    So much of it is familiar that it walks a tightrope between being fresh and being too derivative.

    Some puzzles require a more elaborate death, but the concept could have been taken a step further. [Dec 2003, p.82]
