i thought this game was very good with exceptionaly good graphics and realistic gameplay. this game has been brought out before the release of the film in the U.K so it is a debut really of the whole aspect of the grinch

IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT THE GRINCH GOT HIS PROPS. A MOVIE, A NEW SOUNDTRACK, A SLEW OF NEW DOLLS AND TOYS, AND NOW...... A VIDEO GAME (PSX,GBC,DC). I GOT THIS GAME LAST NIGHT AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT ALL DAY IN PREPARATION TO GO SEE THE MOVIE. THIS GAME, BASED ON THE MOVIE, IS BRIGHT, COLORFUL, AND REALLY FUN TO PLAY. YOU CAN PLAY AS THE GRINCH OR MAX (TO GET IN TIGHT PLACES OR NOT HAVE ANYONE MESS WITH YOU). I'D LIKE TO STAY AND TELL YOU MORE BUT I'VE GOT TO GO AND PLAY SOME MORE BEFORE WE LEAVE FOR THE MOVIE. MERRY GRINCHMAS!!!

Good game

This game is great, but it is directed towards the wrong audience. This game will not be very simple for the children which are the target of the grinch movie, and it will turn away teenagers and older gamers because it is called the grinch. THis game is great and people jsut need to give it a chance.

Fun to play, but hard to figure out

The grinch is definately a fun game. It contains outstanding graphics and numerous capabilities, yet it is a little hard to figure out. Definately not a game for someone under 14-15. Anyone younger may need the help of an adult to figure out some of the tricks

Dr.Seuss would not be proud

The Grinch is back in full force and it looks like Konami has tried to capture his essence in this poorly made game. Konami has made some dynamite games (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Metal Gear Solid to name a few), so it comes as a shock that they've let this thing slip out the door. It's sad that many unsuspecting and well-intentioned parents will pick this one up thinking that their child will enjoy it. This game is horrible, pure and simple. Every level consists of the same challenges so boredom sets in fast. The graphics go from awful to horrendous, and back to awful if you're lucky. The pop-up is here and it's in charge. For instance, in the first level I played, the Grinch was on a ledge that completely disappeared when I moved him slightly. And on many occasions, the insides of buildings would stick out through the roofs and walls, making for a very unattractive gaming experience. I hope I've made it clear that the Grinch is a gift no man, woman or child, should receive.

Don't get grinched

It's a fun game, and once you figure out the puzzles, grinching Whoville is entertaining. But finding what you need takes forever, since you get no hints. The graphics are terrible: flat and unimaginative. Music and sound effects get repetitive fast. I am returning this game to the store and finding something else.Please don't buy this game unless you have a lot of time and patience to spend on it.

Not for everyone

Bought the game as a christmas present for my 3 sons ages 15,12 & 9. After hours of playing and me besides them trying to help resolve the 1st level (the clock) they have given up in playing the game. I've tried finding a magizine guide unfortunately none exist. It's a shame as its entertaining and harmless(no violence)

Konami....What Is Going On Here?

Not quite sure what happened with the folks over at Konami; they usually make quality games on several different platforms. Not this time. The Grinch suffers all across the board. The graphics are hurting and look funny; and trying to figure out just what you are supposed to do is basically impossible. I spent about 30 minutes trying to navigate the first board, and about an hour later the game hadn't gotten any better so I put it back in the box and returned it.

ITs the best!
