Here's the bottom line - this game is not good. In the main screen you are supposed to collect $ while avoiding government red tape (Oh! that's what that red mis-shapen object is!). You can run and jump (not up but forward) and I don't know how this game "decides" what you touch or collide with but most of the $ goes right by you and does not add to your total. There is an elevator that comes at random and can carry you to the other levels where (I guess) you can earn more $. Eventually you will be taken to a second screen where a man could either be an IRS agent, an investment adviser or something else depending on their color, so you should run from or run too them depending on their color. This is also the screen where you are to invest and put your holdings in a briefcase. I have...]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:19:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/325/entry-6911-tax-avoiders-2600-review/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/325/entry-6670-santa-claus-saves-the-earth-gba-review/
Other than that this is a fun platformer and certainly more fun around the holidays. You are Santa and an evil witch, Nimla (who has a serious problem with Christmas and children getting their gifts), has transported you into another dimension to keep you from delivering the childrens presents on time. The Areas are all different, you start off inside a cave, then onto an ice mountain, then some sort of mechanical area with conveyor belts. Your goal is to collect red, green, and blue tokens, and the key to escape as well as "ammo" because if you don't have ammo you swing your sack as a weapon and it makes you very vulnerable. The enemies start with cavemen and go up to gun-slinging baddies (so far, at least).

The graphics are nicely done and Santa "breathes" heavily when standing still, he is also very acrobatic (you'll see if you get a...]]> Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:28:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/325/entry-6670-santa-claus-saves-the-earth-gba-review/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/325/entry-6660-christmas-games-elf-the-movie-gba/
If that's not enough excitement for you already then you are in for a platforming treat! Enter Story Mode where you will be treated to still images of the movie and hopping for lollipops and candies while avoiding chasms and polar bears. If you run into a polar bear you are sent back! You just don't take damage you are also punished! And the bears look about as aggressive as the Coca-Cola Polar Bears.

The graphics aren't bad it's the repetitive goals, scenery (don't get me wrong I really like snow scenery and falling snow it is my favorite), and game play that spell doom for Story Mode. On a positive not you can...]]> Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:14:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/325/entry-6660-christmas-games-elf-the-movie-gba/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/325/entry-6659-guess-that-game-and-system-question-9/ Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:13:00 +0000 http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/325/entry-6659-guess-that-game-and-system-question-9/ http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/325/entry-6624-guess-that-game-and-system-question-8/
