Voodoo Vince Announced for Xbox

<img align="right" src="http://www.the-nextlevel.com/news/0305/vince.jpg">We've certainly had our share of unique characters over the years that's become more and more...<i>unique</i>. From plumbers to hedgehogs, right down to a vaccuum-toting feline. Without a doubt, we've reached a point in history where the question lingers "what will they come up with next?!?"

Look to Xbox this year, introducing Voodoo Vince where players will take control of a unrelenting, tattered voodoo doll. And if that doesn't get your head turning, read on...

As Vince, players will explore the depths of the Louisiana Bayou full of outrageous levels and over-the-top characters. This is the only game where kicking your own butt leads to victory!

Unlike other games, players must seek out danger to keep enemies at bay. Vince can poke himself with pins, bonk himself in the head with a mallet, or seek out a blazing fire to inflict pain on monsters and villains -- all without Vince even batting an eye. The fantastic French Quarter, crawfish-laden swamps, a funky jazz alley and a network of boggy sewers offer up a host of adventures for the burlap-covered hero. Players will encounter everything from Ginger Dead Men who are less than sugar-coated to a pair of intoxicated gas pumps that offer up a fiery challenge.

The game offers colossal non-stop action, allowing players to pilot toy airplanes, saddle up on a bucking wild rat, enjoy a high speed ride on a bayou fan boat and navigate a submariner shrimp.

<i>Voodoo Vince</i> certainly sounds interesting and it's our hope that this will receive a much better reception than Microsoft's feline hero. offers unbelievably wacky fun for gamers of all ages, taking them on a light and humorous adventure through an exaggerated re-creation of New Orleans. Developed by Beep Industries, "Voodoo Vince" will arrive on Xbox this fall.
