Interesting Nightmare game link

[nunomarkl]

Browsing for news on the “Nightmare Before Christmas” Playstation 2 game (which will be released, at least here in Europe, on April 1), I found this Capcom link: http://www.capcom.co.jp/halloween/. This site is in japanese, so I can’t understand a single thing that’s written there (except some english words here and there), but there’s music playing (is it written by Danny Elfman?) and eventually you’ll find the game trailers, which say two things about this forthcoming game: it’s one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever seen, and it really looks like the movie; the sad part is that they managed to turn Jack into a maniac killer, destroying hordes of bad guys with this green goo he shoots. The game idea seems lame, but the look is perfect.

That’s a very cool site. There are clips from the game score (not sure who wrote it). Here are the direct links for the lazy folks

they use “this is halloween” in the backround, singers and everything!

I like the “This is Halloween” portion, but otherwise the music doesn’t seem to do Danny justice. And yes, the game does look pretty corny, and despite the huge NBC fanbase, I doubt it will sell too well.
