really cool game!

I recommend this to everyone. This is an addictive game so be prepared to play it for a long time. I couldn't stop playing it for hours. It is fun and anyone one can play it. I have two kids and both my kids enjoyed it very much. My daughter is 9 and my son is 5. I loved it too and I am 30. The colors are cool and control is real easy and fluid. The object of this game is to break open presents and when you reach an amount on a door you can open that door. each time you bounce on a present you get points. There are policemen and children throughout the game that throw snowballs at you and you must avoid them. There doesn't seem to be any violence other than the snowball throwing. I think that if you have children this is the best game on the market. I purchased it for $39.95 at wal-mart and everywhere else I checked had it for that price. So $39.95 seems to be the going price on this game right now.
Mothers: this is a keeper. Your kids or any kids will love this game no matter what the age.
The characters are of course the Grinch and his little dog and you will be able to switch between them when there are small doors that the grinch can't fit through. When in town you can go into some of the buildings too. I recommend that you go out today and purchase this game.
