MediEvil on PSX, any love?

[Drixxel]

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?

Didn't this game start out as a somewhat homebrew-ish project developed on the net yaroze?

I always wanted to play the sequel but was never able to get a copy.

Beat both on PS1 and got relatively far on the PSP entry. Had a ton of fun getting all all the weapons from the "Hall of Heroes" in the 1st game.

An underrated series for sure.

This is a real gem in the playstation library - its a shame it gets overlooked so often. I remember playing the demo I received in a magazine back in the day and I went out and bought it the next day where me and my cousin tag teamed to beat it in single sitting :P

What was it with the 90's and characters without jaws? lol

Lots of love my way. I absolutely love the original Medievil, but I've yet to play the sequel or the PSP game. They are both on my to-do list however. Hell, replaying the original game needs to be on my to-do list. Very original game that deserves much more spotlight than it gets.
