The era of platform games was starting to fade out at that point, in large thanks to games like Halo. --- End quote --- I haven't seen many people say that the blinx games are good, even OG xbox fans usually talking about other games pretty much never blinx and those games are fairly common so rarity can't be an excuse. I think it's just a mediocre platformer, Check all other platformers, mario, sonic, crash bandicoot all of those where some of the best games or at least very excellent games on the system period. I'm not to sure if you could say the same thing for blinx. That's probably where it failed. it isn't good enough for a main mascot game reason why they never went through with it if I had to guess. The term budget mascot would definitely apply in the case of blinx if the games actually where the main mascot games for xbox or at the very least in the kids department, since even it did happen, master chief would still be the mascot for the more mature audience of xbox. |

Don't you ever get sick of hearing about that same plumber, blue hedgehog and weird little orange furred thing they call a bandicoot? Plenty of good games never get a fraction of the credit, and that was especially true of the original Xbox - a time when Microsoft actually tried to put out exclusive content that everybody mostly ignored because boo Microsoft, and now that they don't anymore boo Microsoft. Both Sonic and Crash saw the downfall of their series begin with this era. Have you played Sonic Heroes? The game is a bit of a turd, sadly. |

Still it's pretty funny Voodoo vince already has a remaster yet blinx doesnt seem to have it to it's credit character design and gameplay are fun in voodoo vince great atmosphere and funny dialogues aswell probably a bigger fanbase. and it's not a pricy game either but it definitely sold less than blinx wich even got a platinum release. IMO even if blinx sold better voodoo vince would have been the better mascot. more unique more charm. The character design of blinx is pretty much just a cat with some interesting idea's in terms of gameplay with rewinding time and such. |
