Kirikou and the thrifteress

Some absolute steals this week, On Playstation 3 we have the ultimate mega drive collections coming in at £4, CEX sell for £12, Lege harry potter for £4 again £12 in CEX, Final Fantasy X/X2 for £3! CEX price £15, And finally the best in the bunch The legend of heroes Trails of cold steel for £4! CEX sell this one for £20 what a bunch of totally winners, 

Other games kirikou on PS1 for £5, Courier Crisis for £3.99, warhammer space marine on 360 for £1.99, Little mermaid on DS £.350, Naruto on PS2 99p and a Wireless Microsoft mouse for £2 brand new in the box.


Taking a closer look at kirikou on the playstation it is based on the 1998 film Kirikou and the sorceress that I watched of the back of picking this up its quite good, What is strange is the decision to make this into a playstation 1 game in 2001? In the later life of the playstation 1 there was a lot of shovelware, This game manages to transcend that label, It plays like a ropey pandemonium, Still very playable just a strange choice of source material to adapt into a video game.

I had never heard or seen anything about it that prompted me to pick it up at £5 in cash convertors, It sell on ebay for around £8, This one will be going in my PS1 collection as I doubt I will see this again in the wild.
I found the whole film in english on youtube above if your interest as being peeked, I like the fact that it is a oddball choice to make into a video game, Many times I am watching stuff that I always think this would make a good game, I guess someone did that with this film.
