American McGee's Grimm: The Girl Without Hands

American McGee's Grimm: The Girl Without Hands's controls are just as easy to pick up and play as all of the previous episodes. Since all you do is walk around, and the only kind of complex maneuver you will have to do is a jump attack, pretty much anyone will be able to run through the fairytale. Anyone who has been following the series should definitely look into this one as well. Though I found the fairytale it was based on to be rather odd, but then again, I guess that's why it isn't one of the more well-known stories.

Once again, this episode is a step backwards. While the other episodes could rely on a somewhat interesting premise, The Girl Without Hands lacks both an engaging story and an exciting way to tell it. Previous episodes also made some attempts to advance the platforming and challenge of the series, but both elements are absent here. While some of the levels look aesthetically eye-catching, they are primitively structured from a gameplay perspective and lack depth. This leaves you with un-engaging gameplay in the end. You can lend yourself a hand by waiting for a better episode.
