[edit] Plot

Following the events of the original film, Jack Skellington once again leaves Halloween Town goes and looks for new Halloween frights, feeling disappointed with this year's work. He goes and talks to Doctor Finklestein and receives the "Soul Robber", a green whip-like weapon that can change shape. After he departs, Lock, Shock, and Barrel bring Oogie Boogie back to life. He seizes control of Halloween Town, tricks its citizens into making traps, kidnaps Sally, and captures the other Holiday World leaders (like Santa Claus of Christmas Town, Easter Bunny of Easter Town, Cupid of Valentine's Day Town, St. Patrick of St. Patrick's Day Town, a Pilgrim from Thanksgiving Town, and a Patriot from Independence Day Town). After taking over their Holidays, he plans to become the Seven Holidays King. Jack returns to find everyone deceived by the newly resurrected Oogie to believe that Jack left them because Halloween was not dangerous enough. Jack has to save the citizens of Halloween from Oogie's rule, while trying to uncover the truth about his plans to become the seven holidays king.

Through his adventures, Jack defeats Oogie Boogie's skeleton and ghost minions (apparently created by Dr. Finkelstien), saves Sally from a giant spider, defeats Lock, Shock, and Barrel, and rescues the other holiday kings along with other things. Towards the climax, Jack realizes Oogie Boogie wants to get rid of Santa and he goes to Christmas Town to save him. Oogie, enraged, leaves with Santa's sleigh. Luckily Sally brings the Halloween sleigh in to help, and Jack and Santa chase after Oogie. Oogie Boogie falls out of the Christmas sleigh into a strange garbage world. There he becomes the horrible monster, "Mega Oogie". Jack finally defeats Oogie Boogie using all of his powers. Afterwards, Jack apologizes to Santa for almost ruining Christmas again, and Santa thanks him for saving his life. Jack also decides that home and those there are something more important than new discoveries. The story ends in nearly the same way as the film, with Jack and Sally on the spiral hill sharing a kiss.

[edit] Gameplay

Gameplay in the game is very similar to the extreme action horror game, Devil May Cry, with the exception of it being easier for younger players. Both were developed by Capcom. Jack can transform into Santa Jack and the Pumpkin King later in the game. There are doors of the holiday worlds obtained when you complete a certain level.

[edit] Costumes and Abilities

Each of Jack Skellington's costumes have different abilities. For example, Santa Jack which is obtained once Doctor Finklestein is defeated, can throw out presents to stun enemies or freeze enemies in ice and the pumpkin king (which you get after saving Sally from a large spider )can burn enemies.
