i remember having a lot of fun with this game and nothing else. bought it on a whim as a kid and ended up having a good time to the point where I 100%ed it. I think its a fun little halloween-inspired RPG that doesn't overstay its welcome. I always wanted to play the DLC for this and its sequel but never did.
Cute little RPG adventure, with tons of charm just oozing out of the environments and characters. However, the gameplay is just far too simple, it would give Pokémon a run for its money. It's an issue that unfortunately gets old and really starts to make the game feel like a drag, having to fight the same fights with the same costumes over and over and over again.
It's fun trying out the different costumes and their abilities in battle but there never comes a point where you'd need to think about what costumes you would need or switch around for a battle, other than the final boss fight.
Overall, it's a nice, spooky little adventure worth playing around the Halloween time if you can find it cheaper enough for you. The presentation is the highlight of this game as the main RPG elements and fights are far too simplified to the point of being tiring and boring after a few hours in.

A cute game with a fun conceit, but is a bit dull. You go around, knock on doors for candy, solve some light environmental puzzles with costumes, and engage in okay minigames and acceptable RPG battles. It's all very mild and works well enough, but it's not very exciting nor especially funny. It's alright! Very, very alright.
Entretenido juego de aventura de estos chamacos que pasan de divertirse en una noche de Halloween a salvar al mundo de unos monstruos adictos a los dulces. Un RPG por turnos con una historia bastante divertida e imaginativa, donde impera la amistad, el coleccionar disfraces alocados y el comer dulces hasta más no poder. Para todas las edades, muy recomendado.
A prime example of when cuteness and humor can outshine subpar gameplay. Its combat system is fairly basic but incredibly fun to look at. Dialogue is also very fun, and the game doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s just too charming not to like. Although, I wish the main villains were explored a little more. I also found that some bosses required specific setups to be able to beat, and not having those setups meant unavoidable deaths.
A very enjoyable little game to play around Halloween. I played this on the PS3 sometime ago and I LOVED it. This is one of those well made games by Tim Schafer that is endless fun.
Edit: The story is about two kids, brother and sister, who go out trick-or-treating, however, goblin creatures from another world have come out to steal candy for a mysterious nefarious purpose. As these kids, you're able to fight them due to the properties of the world these creatures come from, your characters are able to actually utilise the abilities of the costumes that they wear.
For example, the robot costume turns you into a big mecha that launches rocket fists, the knight turns you into a holy knight and so on with all the many costumes you can unlock later, some being far more powerful!
To make the costume you need to collect not only the materials, but also the blueprints for them which is often a lot of fun to look up new costumes and gain new powers too. Some of which will give you abilities you allow you into other areas and bypass hazards. Beyond that, it's a really fun game to play. Especially around Halloween.
