American McGee's Grimm has a delightful intro song

I might not be the biggest American McGee fan, but I can never pass up a good videogame intro song. Needless to say, the opening number for American McGee’s Grimm does not fail on that front.

The concept of turning family-friendly fairy tales into their original, dark forms is an interesting one, but I haven’t seen enough of the 24-part episodic series to make up my mind on the game yet.

I will, however, say with certainty that I’m liking Grimm’s art style quite a bit (not to mention the title of the game).

GameTap subscribers can check out American McGee’s Grimm when it arrives this July.

[Thanks, Professor Pew!]

Don't worry, the intro's all in-game, so the game looks exactly the same.

Looks like it could be decent.
Since I'm already subscribed to Gametap I really hope it is.

It's probably only a question of time before the big N unleashes their lawyers on the programmers of Grimm for stealing the Wind Waker-engine. Looks sweet though.

They're probably just keeping the poly count down so that they can make all of the content in time for each weekly episode. Not that I think they're actually making one each week, but that's a helluva lot of content to make. If they can pull this off, then my hat's off to American McGee and Spicy Horse. I really do love the art style, though- I hope they'll make picture books based on the game.

Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, The Girl Without Hands, The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage etc. were never "family-friendly fairy tales". maybe some disney stuff inspired by it.
