![]() While only these two were available in the demo on the floor, it was pretty clear form the menu system that Christmas Jack would get some more presents for all the naughty boys in the neighborhood. Both of these are ideal for causing a distraction so that Jack can go back to normal and attack the stuck enemies. The other one freezes anyone next to it and encases them in a block of ice. One of the boxes opens up with a bang and stuns anyone nearby. After being dropped, these boxes can be activated for an extra surprise. ![]() Instead, Christmas Jack can drop down gift-wrapped boxes onto the ground. The other form, Christmas Jack, is a little more subtle since he can't actually do any direct damage. Both are fantastic party tricks and help to smoke (get it, it's fire-related) the nearby opponents. While playing as Pumpkin King, Jack can spit out a huge plume of fire or cause a small radius around him to burst into flames. These are the Pumpkin King and Christmas Jack and can be toggled to with the shoulder buttons. In addition to the regular form of Jack, although we know the whole soul thing isn't regular, there are two other parts for Jack to play. Think of the zombies from Dawn of the Dead and not 28 Days Later and that's pretty much it. The only drawback is that the enemies are still pretty easy to fend off. Get ten hits and the screen shouts "Happy Halloween" or get up to 30 hits for "Trick or Treat." there didn't appear to be any benefit for getting a better number except for the glory of it all, but this may become more important as the game gets closer to release. Just like with another Capcom game at the show, Devil May Cry 3, Nightmare Before Christmas rewards players for racking up a series of successful attacks with a combo counter that appears on the screen. He can spin for a spiraling soul attack or keep up the hits and get a combo going. Jack's moves aren't so cut and dry to just have a couple of tricks up his skinny sleeves either. when not fighting, this can be used for grabbing onto hooks for otherwise inaccessible areas. ![]() One poor sucker can be picked up and thrown into another or held onto and used as a giant club until he falls to pieces completely. There is a sticky hand that reaches out at the end and it can be used to smack enemies around or grab them for some extra fun. When it is being used, the rubber soul looks like one of those sticky grabbers that you can get with a quarter or two from a gumball vending machine. Here, Jack has a rubber soul that is a sticky green gob that is wrapped around Jack's right wrist when he's not attacking anyone. The Jack in the game is not quite the Jack you remember from the movie.
