In a season riddled with life-changing mega-sequels, Corpse Party couldn't have arrived at a worse time -- especially on a platform so ravaged by the deadly tag team of piracy and disinterest. With its distinctly fan-made presentation and digital-only availability, XSEED's latest isn't going to turn heads like the Uncharteds and Modern Warfares of the world; though, in the case of Corpse Party, this lack of attention just might be for the best. While most of our modern gaming blockbusters seek to offer either awkwardly bloodless violence for the sake of the coveted catch-all Teen rating or Bruckheimer-esque glorification of combat, the folks at Team GrisGris obviously didn't suffer under these same publisher pressures.
XBA says: There's plenty of horror content to experience in this remaster of a remaster of a remake.
Neil writes: "The original Corpse Party released in Japan way back in 1996. Some 25 years later though, it's finally made it to Europe, the Americas and, most notably, Xbox."
Gather round the fire and we'll tell the tale of the little RPGmaker game that could. And what it could do was make us laugh, make us cry, and scare the pants off us.
I'll get it when it goes on sale... Whenever that ends up being!
