Costume Quest 2010

Is it still worth playing?

On Halloween night a child goes trick or treating with their twin, and a monster carries the twin off, in a 2010 downloadable role-playing game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. You pick which twin to play, and the other, dressed as candy corn, is the one taken. The search runs through a suburb, a mall and a country town, door to door for candy, and behind some doors wait monsters. Costumes help the search too: built from patterns and materials found on the way, some have a use that opens up part of the map. In a fight the children turn into giant versions of their costumes, a robot costume into a real robot, and battles are turn based, with timed button presses to attack and defend. Two friends join you and share the costumes. With fights that are never very hard, a main quest under five hours and costumes at work in the streets and in battle alike, it is still easy to pick up today.
