The Halloween Kids

The Halloween Kids is a 3D fighting adventure game released for the XBOX and GameCube in 2002, based on the TV series of the same name and it being based on the graphic novel series The Halloween Gang. The game was developed by Synapse Movement & Design, in association with Diesel Developments and published by Sierra Entertainment. A PS2 version was planned, but got cancelled due to another game bearing a similar title coming out at the same time.

Gameplay
You can choose between three different campaigns. For whatever one you choose, you play as one character, leading a team of various others and venturing around town, fighting others before reaching the final tournament.

Some enemies can be defeated with basic melee attacks, others require combo attacks and special moves, including one where you rip your opponent's arm off and another where you break their necks.

Each campaign has different endings, depending on what you do and how you complete each fight.

Campaigns
Three campaigns are available. You occasionally run into other teams depending on what one you play. Once you beat them all, a final boss is made available.

Dante's Plot
Dante had been neglected by his parents, at worst desensitized and ridded of any self-esteem. After leaving them, he had regretted never telling them how he felt, but after learning that they'd be visiting a university to apply for jobs, he decides to find them and get retribution. Dante's aided by his friends and they travel through town to get to the mountainside, running afoul of a rival gang and others who have it out for them. Toward the end of the campaign, Dante is challenged by his parents to fight their nephew to prove who's the strongest.
