It seems as though almost all the good games are either on the Nintendo Wii or the Nintendo DS these days and Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas is no exception. It is rated E for everyone and produced by DSI Games and Black Lantern Studios for the Nintendo DS. The game presents the classic Christmas tale of the always-happy Whos, who like Christmas a lot and live down in Whoville and the grumpy old Grinch who does not. In the video game version of Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, you will play the Grinch himself and set out to ruin Christmas for those loveable Whos. You play the role of that Christmas-hating, gift-stealing Grinch with the goal of just stealing each and every little thing related to the holiday that you possibly could. Whatever you do, you mustn’t get caught. The layout of Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas is pretty simple and easy to follow. If you know the story and who doesn’t, then you are all ready to play. The game has a level-based scroller format, in which each level gets more and more difficult and longer. Each new level also has more presents and Christmas decor to steal than the one right before it. In Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas the Grinch must scurry down the chimney of an unsuspecting Who on Christmas Eve. In fact, every level begins the same way. All of the houses down in Whoville look so much like the ones in the movie that it seems like you are jumping right into the film rather than playing a video game. The scenery is filled with bright colours, funny shapes and familiar Who music, just to set the tone. The main goal of each level is to steal all presents and decorations, which is fairly easy to do. Once you find something you want to steal, you simply tap the A button. It gets a little more challenging when you want to steal the Christmas tree, garlands or anything else for that matter. But, you will want to steal everything, since doing so unlocks special features throughout the game. Don’t think that just stealing presents and decorations is all there is to Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, because there is much more. There are plenty of ‘enemies’ attempting to thwart the Grinch’s plans, including four different types of Whos to watch out for, all trying to stop you from stealing everything, just to ruin their Christmas. These include Cindy Lou Who, sleeping Whos, elderly sleepwalking Whos and Sentry Whos, they like to stay up and watch for Santa. Although this is a fairly repetitive game, it certainly sets the mood for the holiday season and can be played by just about everyone, no matter what age, who loves the story behind the game. It is a game filled with fun adventure, fun Who music and great visual graphics.
