Funny story, my and my dad forgot that Santa Jack existed because we didn't use him that often and were stuck on the fire and ice fight (we didn't have internet in our house). We tried for weeks. Weeks turned to months before we gave up. We played older levels but no matter how hard we tried, once they turned into shadows they were untouchable. We left the game for seven years. I found it again after we moved in highschool. I played it again and found the Santa Jack mechanic by complete accident and beat the boss. My dad took me out to eat and we both had a good laugh at how dumb we were. And that's how it took me seven years to beat my very first ps2 game.
Something similar happend to me (although it didn't took me years to find out). When I was playing Lly Cooper 4 I didn't learn how to run until very end of the game where I accidentily hit the button that makes you run. I felt so dumb.
@@Roxsleyimpfromhell yep, it aged quite well so a remaster likely would not change much of it. In other hand, a remake would really improve its visuals
Jack: "I swear to *Christmas* Oogie, if you sing that damn song again..." Oogie: "Well, well, well, look what the *bat* dragged in!" Jack: *Flame Pumpkin activated*
His town was endangered. Saving it and his friends are the only thing important to him at the moment. If fellow skeletons pose a threat, he won't hesitate.
i love how capcom this game is, the camera angles before a boss, the voice effect that Oogie has when he becomes a giant, the cutscenes. If only this game was made with more inspiration and better combat.
As someone who owns this game, I can say that I'm impressed, when I try beating any boss, I get my butt kicked, and I can never complete the dance challenges
Some BIG things need to be changed though....I do not want to hear Jack shouting "Soul Robber" every time he starts an attack(Like that can't get on Jar Jar Binks levels of annoying or anything, am i right?!), Two...I am not a fan of that rhythm minigame during boss fights, I mean for fucks sake, they're already singing the songs during the boss fights, why do I need an awful rhythm minigame on top of it with the same fucking lyrics?! ...Seriously get rid of these!
@@NashTheBlade They don't need to get rid of rhythm mini game. It fits with this game considering that a lot of the movie is all about the musicals not to mention that it's a fun way to do boss fights as well. They could improve upon it though such as the repeating music that has no good loop to it. The stuff like him repeating soul robber is not that bad of a thing. They could reduce it a bit but that's how it is when it comes to games like DMC, not to mention that it's made by Capcom.
I like the voice acting, songs and mechanism of the game, although some sounds while playing against the boss are too loud and they ruin the aesthetics of the game
I used to play this game all the time as a kid, and while there are some games that certainly haven't aged well since childhood, this game is still a masterpiece and I love everything about it. ESPECIALLY that final boss, it's still one of the most epic and awesome boss fights I've ever seen!
Jack "something tells me that the most wonderful discoveries are a little closer to home." and then Sally says "by the way Jack, i'm pregnant." well Jack somehow got 5 skeleton children, look up the epilog from the movie/book.
Oh! I remember this game! I still remember the first time I actually played this too xD 5 year old me: *See’s a NBC game* “Oh! A Nightmare Before Christmas game! I bet it’s kid friendly and full of hope a sweetness!” Jack: *Grabs ghosts with soul-robber and violently beats them and whips them to the ground* 5 year old me: *Surprised Pikachu Face*
I really loved it, I think you missed one in the christmas world but it's perfect, I really felt all the songs and the adrenaline of seeing you hit all the notes, congratulations, you won a sub❤✌
Jack: How and why did they make a whole video game about what's happened a few years after me saving Christmas? Everything did happen, and I did get the soul robber, but just why? Sally: I don't know... that game really shows everything you did, though!
When you realize Jack gained his reputation for tricking the Devil in such a way that he was cursed to be an eternally burning spirit and eventually, became intermingled with the concept of Halloween with the pumpkin/turnip lanterns made in his image.
@@haydrionslaughter3747 there is a story about the guy Jack behind "jack-o-lantern". People say Tim Burton based Jack on this. They may be right, as he first appears as a scarecrow with a pumpkin head and then emerges as the scarecrow is set ablaze. The guy Jack from the tales would put coals into different gourds and such, and pumpkins became his gourd of choice to put a coal in to light his way through the night.
Notice they’re fingers crossed behind there back when jack leaves Yep they still work for oogie boogie now and forever Me: I wouldn’t double cross the pumpkin king if I where them
Something about the spider bobbing up and down with the music during Jack and Sally's duet in the boss fight fucking cracks me up. It looks so excited to be part of a musical.

Whoever came up with the songs in this game deserves a raise
And an award-
Some basically are just covers, but I still agree with you.
They got in my head....especially the dr. Finkelstein one. It took me forever to beat him so I learned the song lol
@@misstigerrose 0hr_4èqi)#&a#hffdzx
The first one, oogie boogies song, is definitely better here than in the original.
The combat system of this game was crazy af. Such a gem, cant believe its from 2004.
2005 actually.
I recall getting this getting this on Xbox back in 2005 ironically enough.
@@JojoMonReturns91 same, I just love that it’s a hack n’ slash mixed with a rhythm game XD
Basically a Bayonetta predecessor
@@Pikminbianco god of war was around this time too.

There's no way you can say that this is bad, this is a top tier Halloween game.
Is it just me or is it badass the way the bosses and jack sings while fighting?
dfude i actually aghree
As a kid playing this I always felt cool playing this part
Don’t say bad word

Jack is just that theatrical, and the bosses are going along with it.
43:38
Am I literally the only one who thinks when jack says:
*”IM THE ONLY PUMKIN KING!”*
Gives me legit chills?
I'm not judging but how is that giving you the chills?
26:26 They faced his rage alright
They just died immediately
Lmao
I like to think he just erased them out of existence
Jack: oh shit, I think I hit them too hard...
@@loganstewart7105 Hit em again. Just for good measure
A dance-off in the middle of a battle.....
THAT'S BRILLIANT!!!!!
Truly how every battle should be with a dance off in the middle
It's legendary to do it tho
It's my favorite part of the game. :>
Yeah Is a súper god idea 😁😁😁

No one:
Jack when seeing literally anything: wHaT’S tHiS¿
Jack: *steps on some gum* wHAaTs THIsSS?‽¿¡?!?
Jack: steps on some dice what's this???
Jack saying "What's this?" is like Snake saying "Metal Gear?" or like Ryuji saying "For real?!"
"This will be the last time you hear the oogie song!" Goes and repeats the song again.
Hit or miss i guess they never miss huh u got a boyfriend i bet he doesn't kiss ya I got no arms so I can't dab
Awwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaa
Jack: "I swear to *Christmas* Oogie, if you sing that damn song again..."
Oogie: "Well, well, well, look what the *bat* dragged in!"
Jack: *Flame Pumpkin activated*
One of the Last times you hear this oogie song
Phynix 、
Jack is singing and dancing while fighting, he's the the ultimate skeleton chad!
I wonder how Jack feels about murdering skeletons...
🤪
They're not really skeletons to say. They're more like wooden dolls created by oogie in his underground casino.
I wouldn’t say murder I’d say more like TAKE TO GULAG #2
@Firelord Eliteast67 do we care?
Hell no!
His town was endangered. Saving it and his friends are the only thing important to him at the moment. If fellow skeletons pose a threat, he won't hesitate.
i love how capcom this game is, the camera angles before a boss, the voice effect that Oogie has when he becomes a giant, the cutscenes. If only this game was made with more inspiration and better combat.
this game has the record for "most bosses with singing in them"
By this video footage, Skeleton Jack seems just as skilled with a whip as Simon Belmont. Can you imagine the carnage if those two joined forces?
Jack as an echo fighter for Simon in smash please
@@naughtynyte3086 There's already an echo fighter for Simon, but he's likely to pass as both an assist trophy and a separate playable character.
Welp *Jumps out window*
Given that Simon fights monsters for a living they would likely be enemies.
Simon or other Castlevania protagonist: *Battle Grunts*
Jack Skellington: *_SOULROBBER!!_*
Weird to think the development crew that developed this game is EXACTLY the same that developed DMC 3.
The long level design makes it obvious when the game actually picks up.
We can feel it with the quality of both of these games
random person zombie yes, this game was made by Capcom
Then why is it so *slow??*
@Beast slayer Well duh!
Oogie: What are we gambling for you ask? Nothing all that valuable, JUST YOUR LIFE!!
Me: *OOF*
Yeah, and I'm like: *tsk tsk tsk* Don't think you'll be getting Jack's life today, Oogie...
technically even though he’s already dead but yeah
I’m pretty sure Jack’s _life_ ended loooooong ago...
@@nicolasinguanti9986 tru
Tbh Jack’s life was already wasted after he was burned alive so....you’re too late.
26:28 Perfect timing!
Oogie: this may be the last time you hear the boogie song... Also oogie: *reapeats song again*

With a 65 combo? They already faced it.

Like I’m about to like em

I like the part "or you will face my rage!!"
They should remaster this
Remake actually. This game needs to have its gameplay improved or changed.
Yeah!!!!!
But this game is already good.
Neet Neat wrong. Signed the any% world record holder
Why remaster it
I like the voice acting, songs and mechanism of the game, although some sounds while playing against the boss are too loud and they ruin the aesthetics of the game
Yeah the sound mixing could use a lil work lol
The sound in locks boss fight stops but it goes on
Why does it do that?
@@ejprincessyt1312 I think it has to do with the upload, emulation bug/copyright avoidance maybe
I love just how fucking violent Jack can get when he's savagely manhandling monsters. I wish he was able to grab and just yeet the kids

No in Smash Bros

My first video game I ever played..... The nostalgia..... So good
What I find funny is how well this game's graphics has aged
Art direction can go a long way
the game didnt look this good........ there using some type of upscaler or emulator.
rah they really said “yo i know its the early 2000s but let’s rock it!!!” and rock it they did!!!
14:31 the doctors song is so good
Jack "something tells me that the most wonderful discoveries are a little closer to home." and then Sally says "by the way Jack, i'm pregnant."
well Jack somehow got 5 skeleton children, look up the epilog from the movie/book.
Sounds like an adorable ending.
I didn't know this
Could you imagine how good this would look with updated graphics. If Hot Topic is any indication there's definitely a market for it.
Oogie: what are you gambling for you ask? Just your life cue the music! Jack: oof
Jack: attacks
I love how this is basically a sequel to the movie
You know, Santa, as grateful as he claimed to be, could have at least gave Jack a ride home
BANG BANG BANG, PULL MY PUMPKIN TRIGGER!
La vida
How in the heck did I JUST hear of this?!?!
@John Richards Not really easy to see it as it is a pretty rare and expensive game (Heck the PS2 version isn't even on Amazon UK anymore)
@John Richards I need to get out more....I thought I was freak about TNBC but I didn't even know this existed throughout my life :/
dont feel bad i missed it too i just watched the video too

It's not whipping when everyone he faces are already dead! 😉
Jack started slapping and throwing ghosts around before Luigi.

I'll tell you one thing, he constantly says it in more games! 😂
It's ok. You can say ass
Its me again
What's this? What's this?
Man I remember they make a games for almost ANY movie back then
I still can’t believe they made a game of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
