    The fact that the developers were able to incorporate so many different gameplay styles into the game and making them seem completely fitting and natural is a nice accomplishment.

    Just don't come running back to us if little Johnny decides he hates you and moves out aged six when he finds this under his Christmas tree.

    This is a kid's game. It's also a bad kid's game. And there's really no getting around that.

    An ugly collection of poorly conceived minigames, The Polar Express is a failure by the standards of any medium.
