Bookending the episode's 30 minutes or so of gameplay are two cut scenes that briefly re-enact the tale, first from the "light" point of view, and the second from the "dark" point of view after Grimm has done his thing. But the post-Grimm "dark" version is essentially the same story with a visual makeover and characters that have devolved into mouthy trailer trash -- Mom nags Riding Hood, Riding Hood mouths off in response, the woodsman is a psychopath, and Granny acts like one of those miserable old women who'll elbow you to make sure she's first onto the bus. The wolf still tricks Riding Hood, the girl and her Granny still get eaten, and the woodsman still saves the day ... just with 100 percent more stinkiness.
This feature was based on a copy of the game provided by the publisher.
