Reviews for The Official Father Christmas Game (#3493)

Review by JSA on 29 Jul 2010 (Rating: 3)

A multi-staged game with a certain degree of originality that fails because of its rather simple and often monotonous gameplay. Besides, it's so easy you'll probably finish it on the first go.

Boring and shallow Christmas themed game, good for kiddies only (in 1989; I think even kids would not give a damn to this nowadays). Cute cartoon graphics save it from being a total waste of time.

This is quite decent and plays pretty much how it should for an "official" Santa game. It's a reminder of Alternative's other games, Postman Pat 2 and The Wombles with pretty much the same elements. It's in multiple parts, the first part is good while the others aren't so, especially delivering the presents which is the simply boring. A good effort of a Christmas simulator all the same.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Cute presentation but the game-play is tedious . . .

2,5 out of 5 .

Father Christmas has his own game! And it's actually quite good. There's three parts to this game, you have to collect parts of your sleigh while avoiding the elves which steal the parts from you, then you have to tell Santa what you would like your Christmas and then you as Santa has to retrieve them from the falling gifts and finally with your sleigh you have to deliver these gifts to America, Africa, Asia and Europe with clouds, birds and planes trying to prevent you. In all honestly it doesn't make total sense as you have to tell Santa what you want, yet other people in other continents get them but it's still pretty enjoyable. The third part though I think is an anti-climax and prevents this from getting a higher score. I wish everyone a Happy Christmas, enjoy your time with your families and please stay safe.

Well it isn't as bad as the majority of Christmas game but it's a bit of a drag in all honesty, especially the delivering part of it.
