Game Vortex: American McGee’s Grimm: Cinderella Review

Game Vortex writes: "American McGee’s Grimm: Cinderella has a lot in common with the classic Walt Disney animated film, except here, the charming antics of Jaq and Gus Gus are replaced by an orgy of gratuitous violence and unwarranted retribution. The latest in American McGee’s episodic series of fairytales gone bad takes on the most iconic of tales that involves the rags-to-riches motif – and gets rid of the "riches" part. Those who have played and enjoy the Grimm series, you know full well what you’re getting into, and you won’t be disappointed with the latest episode. Those of you who haven’t, prepare to have your sense of nostalgia kicked squarely in the pride.

The Grimm series’ trademark visual style remains intact and completely unchanged. Characters are extremely blocky and animate in an extremely erratic manner. This isn’t really a bad thing, since the theme of the entire series revolves around decay and dilapidation of all sorts. The transition you witness from a relatively carefree world to hell on Earth is as morbidly joyful to watch as ever, and I have to give credit to the guys who imagine this stuff up."
