SPIRITS AND SPELLS (NINTENDO GAMECUBE NGC)

In Spirits and Spells, the player takes on the role of two children Alicia and Greg who visit a spooky old house with their friends. Unfortunately, the Bogeyman steals their friends' souls and turns them to stone - of course the two heroes have to get them back. They therefore visit the land of the dead and must survive a cemetery, a haunted house and the laboratory of a mad scientist.

The player can switch instantly (but limited as it costs crystals that can be found in levels) between the two characters which is often necessary to progress in the game: both have distinct advantages and disadvantages. Alicia is disguised as a witch, is invulnerable to ice, and can shrink. Greg, on the other hand, is the master of fire, is disguised as an imp and has a super jump. Both have the same basic combat abilities: hitting an enemy or jumping on their head kills them - but so do the two children who die on the first hit. Apart from fighting, the game consists of simple platforms and puzzles. The game is in 3D but there is a linear path to follow (with some branching).
