The game is a 3d platformer. Artwork has a French feel to it, sort of like an evil Rayman. Cut-scenes have full voice acting with subtitiles in different languages. Thankfully the cut-scenes can be skipped. Screen updates seem to vary between 30-60 fps, depends on the camera angle.
Usual 3D camera issues, can force camera behind you by pulling both triggers.
Autosaves at the beginning of each world, and there are "cameras" you pick up in the game world to save at a point in time.
Eight worlds in the game, and I've only got through part of the first in a couple hours gameplay.

Pretty little platformer,
The lead character looks like chuckie from child's play trapped in a Tim Burton movie. It was developed by In Utero a bunch of Frenchmen. The lead characters look like bizarre adult children, despite the fact that they are just a bunch little orphans. The atmosphere is dark and child like an odd combination. Gameplay is terrific CYP controls like Rayman with a little more complexity, he has many speeds and abilities and can take a little getting used to. The camera swings left right or center with the centering mechanism not working all the time. The voice acting is great and plentiful, cut scenes are long but I like them anyway. The soundtrack is very cool, sounds like a Danny Elfman clone made it but did a really good job. Overall it is a welcome entry into the DC platform library, unique and addictive.
