American McGee's Grimm is an adventure game from famed developer American McGee. It offers a twisted version of the venerable Grimm's Fairy Tales. The game is available exclusively through GameTap.
The game has a great art style, but very basic gameplay. Some of the game and art decisions leave me wondering what the hell goes through McGee's mind. Grimm peeing any time you stop walking, to mark his spot to jump? Please, even 2nd graders aren't as juvenile. I understand the idea, but having him spit would have even been far less sophomoric.
All in all, the art style and stories are great. But they aren't enough to overcome the simplistic gameplay and crudeness. Certainly doesn't live up to the hype.
