Oogie's Revenge adapts Tim Burton's world with style. Stylish action, rhythmic combat tied to the film's songs and irresistible Halloween mood. Short but uniquely charming.

"Captivating"
A gothic universe straight out of Tim Burton's imagination, twisted silhouettes and a Halloween palette: the game beautifully restores the spirit of the film. The crooked settings and the wan light compose an irresistible macabre enchantment. This visual faithfulness, charming and polished, extends a classic of animation.
Drawing on Danny Elfman's immortal themes, the music resurrects the gothic, fairy-tale universe of Halloween Town with an irresistible macabre whimsy. Mischievous choirs and baroque orchestrations embrace the spirit of the cult film. This sonic richness, faithful and spellbinding, wonderfully extends Tim Burton's magic.

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas - Oogie's Revenge (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas - Oogie's Revenge still worth playing in 2026?
An action game from Capcom, The Nightmare Before Christmas Oogie's Revenge extends Tim Burton's film by following Jack Skellington in an adventure blending rhythmic combat, platforming and boss duels paced by the music. The art direction faithful to the film's gothic world, the musical staging and the charm of the characters win over fans. The temperamental camera and a degree of repetition temper the whole. A good action game for fans of Tim Burton's world and music flavoured combat to discover before the holidays.
