When I started up the game, the first thing I noticed was that the soundtrack was really well done and suits the game perfectly. The music, from the title screen on, is a brilliant mix of eerie and dark tracks which still manage to maintain a Christmas flavor. The sound effects are also equally clean and nicely matched to the on screen action. I guess another plus is that the game contains virtually no violence whatsoever, which would make it a good choice for children. So, it may send a semi-bad message to the game's target audience, but it's probably nothing most people would be concerned about if they're already a fan of the story.
Stinky breath go in, stinky game come out.
Normally I'd say that's a bad thing, but considering the context of the game and the intended audience, that's probably another asset for would-be purchasers. I also thought the game was fairly well constructed, trying to keep as much of the story intact while altering it a bit to provide enough fodder for an actual game. Everything from the Grinch's cave up on Mt. Crumpit to Who-ville is well represented in the game. You can even walk up to the cliff of the cave, and the Grinch will look into his telescope while you press buttons to direct some hateful comments toward Who-ville. Most everything in the game stays true to the original idea's roots, which is a plus for Dr. Seuss and Grinch fans alike.
