Costume Quest is a rollicking Adventure/Role-Playing game that unfolds on Halloween night across seemingly peaceful suburban neighborhoods, a mysterious village carnival, and a monster-infested shopping mall. Created by Double Fine's lead animator, Tasha Harris, the game follows the adventure of a group of young friends who must rid their neighborhood of monsters using only their wits, their bravery, and their home-made costumes. Players go door-to-door collecting candy, points, cards, battle stamps and quest assignments as they prepare themselves for Combat Mode-where they transform into larger-than-life versions of their costumes. Each costume that comes-to-life provides its own unique set of superpowers that players will need to battle Halloween's worst monsters. |
Yea. A Role Playing Game based around a group of Trick-or-Treaters in special Halloween costumes. While it is kind of a cool idea overall, is this the best we have from the Psychonauts designers? It seems a little bit too out to left field. Even for them. Also based on the screens below, it does not really look to be all that attention grabbing. Then again it is just an XBLA/PSN title.
Let's just hope this is their "We Need Money To Help Fund Our Bigger Titles" ploy and not something they truly hope to become a cash cow. Or that it ends up being something like the next Plants vs. Zombies. I'm thinking the prior.
