'''''Voodoo Vince''''' is a [[Platform Game]] for the [[X Box|XBoxXbox]] about a voodoo doll come to life. His creator is kidnapped, and he must rescue her by adventuring through crazy lands that have been warped and corrupted by "Zombie Dust". Voodoo Vince must use his voodoo doll powers and hurt ''himself'' to hurt enemies and progress.
 
A hilarious game, rife with Irony and [[Lampshading]].

----
This video game provides example of:
 
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Almost everywhere. Justified in that Vince is only 10 inches tall, and the pipes are only absurdly spacious to him.
* [[Big BoosBoo's Haunt]]: Crypt City.
* [[Buffy -Speak]]: Vince once says "Hey, it's one of those bell-ringy-thingies!"
** Kosmo once as well. "You little...doll...guy."
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Vince can be this sometimes. When dealing with the reanimated skeleton of a T-rex: "That can't be good."
** "I'm no scientist, but I bet that clock has something to do with time." Vince might have been sarcastic, though.
*** He often starts making obvious statements [[Continue Your Mission, Dammit!|when the player takes too long]].
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: Kosmo the Inscrutable
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: The Chainsaw voodoo power, appropriately enough.
* [[Chew Toy]]: Since he's a voodoo doll, physical abuse doesn't affect him - but nothing ever goes right for him.
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Vince.
* [[Dem Bones]]: Bones McMurty and the first boss battle.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Madame Charmaine.
* [[The Ditz]]: Professor Ethel. Her "complex scientific invention" is a balloon.
** [[Genius Ditz|She made a decent plane, though.]]
* [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]]: "What now? A giant crab? A giant dog? A giant... carrot?"
** Every seemingly friendly character you encounter will eventually turn on you.
* [[Fetch Quest]]: The third area, where Crawdad Jimmy sends you out to get ingredients for his soup. [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with]] to some extent, as it's revealed that {{spoiler|he was really just trying to stall you until Kosmo arrived.}}
* [[Gang Plank Galleon]]: A pirate ship at the Bayou.
* [[Ghost Butler]]: One escorts the player through several parts of Brusque Manor
Line 35 ⟶ 33:
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The final boss battle.
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Kosmo
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: The way to deal with the surly gas pumps.
* [[Of Doom]]: A large piggy bank. Kosmo enhances it with repeated "of DOOOOOOM!"s.
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: Every boss is defeated by finding the right way to use the environment to deal damage to ''yourself''.
* [[Rise to Thethe Challenge]]: Inside the Kosmobot.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Madame Charmaine hints at a sequel at the end.
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Justified since Vince is made of burlap and burlap sinks quite fast.
