    $10-30 per hour is probably the worst deal I have ever seen in a high-profile video game, and I amazed that THQ put it out with so little substance.

    It's a shell of what might be a new Christmas classic which is, in one way, sad but the fact that the movie may be around for along time may tempt a developer to do this game justice in the future.

    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.
