The 2003 Xbox exclusive, Voodoo Vince, is getting remastered for the current generation by his creator, Clayton Kauzlaric.

Kauzlaric says that the game was never eligible for backwards compatibility on Xbox 360 due to its engine, which forced the game into obscurity. The ID@Xbox program, however, has allowed him to resurrect the game for the current generation. The game will have updated visuals and, 60 FPS framerate, and will add Achievments and some Xbox Live compatibility. The game is planned for release in 2017 on Xbox One and PC.

When the game released in 2003, we gave it an 8.5.

Our Take

I always thought Voodoo Vince was interesting in concept, but never got around to playing it. I like a good platformer, so I'm interested in checking it out.
