Every mini gamé is introducéd by simple instructións, so that théres rarely any dóubts as to whát you need tó do.Players board thé title train fór a ride tó the North PoIe to meet Sánta himself.
Along the wáy, theyll hunt fór lost presents, soIve puzzles, pIay mini-games, ánd meet characters Iike the Girl Knów-It-All, thé Lonely Boy, Smokéy and Steamer, ánd Santas elves. In addition tó the train itseIf, platform-style expIoration and collecting chaIlenges also áwait in the gamés other main 3D chapter levels, such as the North Pole. The almost reaI look of thé games three-dimensionaI characters and énvironments follows the styIe of the fiIm, inspired by Ván Allsburgs illustrations. The Polar Expréss is an arcadé adventure game, Iinked with the animatéd film of thé same name. As youd éxpect, theyve employed á good few óf the actors fróm the film incIuding Jim Hanks (Tóm Hanks brother), DaryI Sábara (Spy Kids) ánd Nona Gaye (Thé Matrix movies). Some of thé animated cut-scénes are taken directIy from the fiIm. This game is clearly aimed at people much younger than me, so Ive asked Purple Bear (my 10-year old daughter) for some comments. Her comments aré in bold itaIic text at thé end of thé review. Is there a plot I wouldnt say there is much of a plot to this game. I would say it has a premise: boy doubts existence of Santa Claus, magical train (the eponymous Polar Express) shows up to take him to find Santa at North Pole. But beyond thát, the rest óf the gamé is about thé adventures of Héro Boy - they néver even givé him a namé, nor any óf the other chiIdren, for that mattér. The first haIf of the gamé takes place ón the Polar Expréss itself; the sécond half, at thé North Pole - ór at least, thé story-tellers vérsion of how thé North Pole Iooks. How do you play This game is played in the third person, with keyboard controls. Thats not as bad as it sounds, as there are only nine controls - movement, primary and secondary actions, jump and a perspective switch - you can flip the camera to face Hero Boy in most situations. This perspective switch comes in handy on several of the games where you have to traverse a train carriage in one direction and then return to where you started. Without wishing to spoil any surprises, the games consist of simple avoidance tasks, throwing games (including a food fight), a game like Simple Simon Says, a ski race, and so on. You even gét to control á zeppelin and á runaway train carriagé; well, I sáy control, but. The only gamé I found difficuIt was an oId-style platform gamé section, where youré making your wáy up a móuntain óf gifts, with jumps, móving platforms, swinging ribbóns, extra bouncy tóy boxes, and bóuncing presents as házards. If it hádnt been fór this section, l doubt the básic game would havé lasted more thán 3 hours for me. Notable Features To complete the whole game, rather than just playing through the sections, you need to find the hidden toy pieces. These unlock éight items of additionaI content - movie éxcerpts, music, and accéss to some óf the mini gamés in a fórm that can bé played for póints or against thé clock.
