I haven't played it yet, because I figured it was another low-quality movie-to-platformer game. This review makes me think I would enjoy the game quite a bit, however! I'm a big fan of puzzlers, and grinding never really bothered me (I grew up cutting my teeth on Final Fantasy...the first one, on NES). Thanks for the write-up.

The sequels Son of Frankenstein (1939) and The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) featured a character named "Ygor", played by Bela Lugosi; this character, however, is neither a hunchback nor a lab assistant, but an insane broken-necked blacksmith who reanimates the Monster as an instrument of vengeance against the townspeople who attempted to hang him for graverobbing YAY Wikipedia! Interesting how FRITZ was remembered, only with the wrong name.

Did you know the assistant from Frankenstein is named Fritz? I showed the original to my kids on Halloween (1932 still packs a very creepy scare - Karloff is magnificent) and they kept asking me about Igor. Does anyone know where Igor comes from? It must come from somewhere or Mel Brooks wouldn't have riffed on it. Maybe Bride of Frankenstein? Also, anyone see this animated movie? I didn't but it looked cool. My kids want to see it now. Thanks for the write up Cary! S’ funny. Did you know the assistant from Frankenstein is named Fritz?
