For the most part, I feel that movies turned into games generally suck eggs. Still, maybe I ought to give this game a chance before I decide to condemn it completely. Described as being mimicked from the movie, you are the little boy who who some how found his way to the north pole.

Whether it be the graphics or the audio, it seems that both basically suck. So, could it be I was right to assume that this game was a waste of time in the first place? After reading this article at DVD Talk, it does appear to be so

Raking in the cash in the box office, The Polar Express has been a phenomenal hit among Christmas movies. In a genre populated by several poor attempts to milk the holiday cash cow, Polar Express the film is head and shoulders above several of its brethren. Maybe it has to do with the mind boggling CGI or maybe it has to do with the fact that it features the very talented Tom Hanks.

A retelling of a classic Christmas book, Polar Express is about a young boy that has his faith in Santa rewarded one Christmas Eve. Lying in bed he listens intently for the sound of reindeer on the rooftop but instead he hears the roaring of a locomotive right outside of his house. Hoping on board him and several other children in their pajamas soon find themselves on a trip to the North Pole to meet the jolly fat man himself.

In a vain attempt to cash in on a popular children’s movie, THQ has released the Polar Express game. Unfortunately none of the holiday charm or magic is captured here and if anything this game will make you feels more like a Grinch than put you in the holiday spirit.
