Story:Although Redmond (the rabbit) and Spanx (the weasel) are two animals chained together, the gameplay is much like any other platformer. The player controls only Spanx, using Redmond as a weapon or tool as the situation requires. Spanx has most standard platforming abilities, while Redmond is completely indestructible as a result of tests conducted upon him and so can be hurled into security guards, jammed into machinery, and used as a grappling hook, among other uses. Redmond can be inserted into special outlets to be set on fire, frozen, or become radioactive.Show more

I had this game for the original xbox when I was a kid. I also play this game using emulators quite often. A lot of the jokes went over my head as a kid but playing it now I can get a good laugh here and there. I would like to see a PC port of this game.
Hidden GEM right here, this classic action platformer has never been talked about by anyone I've ever met or seen online, which is a shier tragedy. This games humor is dated, I know because I'm replaying it with my girlfriend right now, but 80% holds up and the game play is so crisp and perfect. the only 3d platformer on it's level in the last 10 years is psychonauts 2. I had this as a kid on ps2 but never beat it, I aim to now as an adult but want to throw more money at this game because it deserves it. It deserves a new life, and new fans while keeping it alive for the old ones and that's where gog owns the market.
I found this game when trying to find titles with Mustelid/Weasel representation in them and proceeded to buy and complete it on OG Xbox. The wacky concepts and absurd theme of saving animals through animal abuse was hilarious, but what really sticks with me is the animations, character personalities, goofy albeit adultish jokes, dynamic music that's a blast to listen to, and some hefty, satisfying platforming action. Too bad the middle of the game SLAPS your butt with a ball-busting mess: the Shipping and Waste Department levels. Utterly horrific and confusing with their layout and how to progress in them. The final stint of the game was much better thankfully. All said and done, easily one of the best platformers on Xbox, and super underrated game in general. I'd love to see this on PC/GOG with slightly updated visuals, but even a straight port with widescreen support would be epic!
Dark humor in games is quintessential fun & wrecking stuff with a plushie is also fun. I only played it once, but I would love to play it again and add it to my mischievous game collection (Goat Simulator, Psychonauts, Katamary Damacy, Dr. Muto, Crash, Spyro, Penny's big breakaway)
Baten Kaitos OriginsBaten Kaitos Origins takes place 20 years before the first Baten Kaitos game. It explains how the diabolical Emperor Geldoblame rose to power, and it also fills in many details about the heroes from the first title. In addition, players will learn about the origins of the world itself and why the Lost Ocean is returning. The hero, a blue-haired young man named Sagi, was sent to assassinate the Emperor but found the job had been done for him. Blamed for the death, he's now on the run with two friends - a robot named Guillo and a young woman named Milly. In the initial stages, the player's party will progress in a linear fashion, moving from one area to the next along a set path. After playing the game for a few hours, players will acquire a ship that lets them visit areas in the order of their choosing, allowing them to either pursue optional side quests or blast through the main mission as they see fit. Unlike traditional RPGs, where characters gain levels in categories such as strength and agility, the majority of leveling-up occurs by procuring better Magnus cards. There are more than 600 different Magnus cards in Baten Kaitos Origins, some of which have truly fantastical properties. Players can acquire cards in many different ways, including trading, buying, winning as spoils of war or by creating them themselves.Fantasy
