Any fans out there of this cool Sony developed franchise? The production value of these games speaks to their first party status: the visual style, inspired and absorbing; the music, a lushly orchestral sort calling to mind Danny Elfman; the voice acting, full of character and well performed. The mix of exploratory hack-'n'-slash with rudimentary puzzle solving is a good one but I feel it's the atmosphere, more than the gameplay, that makes these games special. Anyone out there feel something for MediEvil?
