History YMMV / TheNightmareBeforeChristmasOogiesRevenge

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** Oogie kidnaps five other holiday leaders aside from Santa, and you spend the game collecting Holiday doors. No, you don't get to visit St. Patrick's Town or Valentines Day Land.

* NarmCharm: The very basic plot wouldn't feel out of place in a fanfic, the writing and dialogue can feel very forced at times, and the game's tone never quite seems to match up with the original film. Ultimately, though, the game itself is very solid, and seeing the characters in action again is extremely satisfying. Admit it: it would have been worse if it was the movie Disney intended.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Jack constantly shouts "Soul Robber!" whenever he uses the weapon. It gets grating very quickly.

* MostAnnoyingSound:
** Every time you grab something with the Soul Robber, (the main weapon in the game), Jack yells out "Soul Robber!". Every. Single. Time.
** The announcer at the end of every chapter: "CLEAR TIME! COMBO! DAMAGE! EXCLAMATION POINT COUNT! NIGHTMARE RANK! SOUL BONUS!"
** Seeing as she shares a voice actress with [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Lil]], Shock's voice has this effect at times.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Thankfully, while ratings are around the 6-7/10 range, there's a large bit of CriticalDissonance, as user ratings are around the 7-8 range.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: All of the game's dance battles, but ''A Filthy Finale'' is generally agreed to be the best of the bunch.

* MostWonderfulSound: Racking up combos gets Jack to declare such things as ''Spine Tingling!'' ''BONE CHILLING!'' There's a wonderful energy to it that makes you feel like you're doing a great job. Even better is when you get it up to ''Horror Show'' and ''Pumpkin King''.

* CultClassic: Like its source material, it has a solid fanbase who enjoy it's atmosphere and mechanics, even if it overall doesn't measure up to the original.

* FridgeHorror: Most of Halloween Town's residents are absent from the game. At one point, it's suggested that they're just hiding from Oogie, it's not out of the question that he Double Killed some of them during his takeover.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Filthy Finale.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Downplayed. It's a solid game, but compared to the plot of the movie, the game's story is very straughtforward and uninspired. That doesn't make seeing Halloween Town in action again any less satisfying.

** The game is kicked off when Jack leaves for two months to find new and interesting discoveries to improve next year's Halloween. When he comes back, his mission is never brought up again, and we never find out if he did find anything while he was gone.

* CharacterDerailment: In the film, Sally takes an active part in trying to stop Jack ruining Christmas and later attempting to save Santa. In the game, she's mostly there for Jack to save her, give optional help for a BossBattle and offer moral support.
** CharacterRerailment: That said, she effectively saves Christmas by bringing Jack's sleigh to Christmas Town after Oogie makes off with Santa's.
