To be honest, I kind of enjoy platformers. They don't seem to be making as much of those nowadays. I have played this game for only a few hours now, but I can say it is a good game.

In this game, the player is an ancient spirit capable of possessing his loyal followers, the Ooganis. There are several different Oogani tribes, each with a specific color, and specific abilities. So you will have to get through each level moving stuff around, and possessing different Ooganis in order to get past through the levels puzzles.

The graphics are quite nice for an XBox Live Arcade game. They are in 3D, but the view stays on the side of the action (like the original Crash Bandicoot games). You can still move closer to or further from the camera, but just a little bit.

I think the demo gives a pretty good idea of what to expect from this game. I know I decided to buy it after trying it out. So if you are undecided, definitely download the demo. But in the end, for 800 Microsoft points (which is around 10-12$ in the US and Canada), it's a pretty good deal in my opinion.

Edit: Well, after finishing the game, I must agree with the other reviews. One of the problems with this game is that it is TOO easy. The difficulty level remains about the same throughout the game. It is still a good game, but it would have been better if was more challenging.
