An evil wizard has returned from the dead with a mind for vengeance in MediEvil, and you've been brought back from the dead to stop him. Perhaps the world's least worthy hero, you set out to save the land. The game's animation and humour are reminiscent of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas; if this alone isn't enough to thrill you, the difficulty level will. This is one of the few games that seems to keep itself near the perfect level--difficult enough to keep you interested, easy enough to keep you from getting frustrated. The perspective perfectly complements the gameplay and animation style: the 3-D follow-cam allows you, in most places, to look around with ease. And you'll want to take time to see the sights, since the game looks as good as it plays. --John Cocking
