Welcome to my Christmas Blog where I'll be taking a look at all things Christmas in the run up to the holiday season. I just love Christmas so please feel free to visit me at my permanent Christmas site Christmas Worldwide and share the beauty of Christmas with me.
Did you know that Charles Dickens' classic Christmas story is coming to life this christmas not on the big screen but courtsey of DS. The game is been released to tie in with the movie of the same name and will be available to gamers just in time for the holiday season.
In the game you can travel with Scrooge on his journey of discovery, remember though it's based on a Disney interpertation so expect a bit more interpation than you'll find in Dickens' original story.
The game lets you explore the supernatural adventure that Scrooge himself takes when he’s visited by three extraordinary Christmas spirits during the holiday season.
: the Spirit of Christmas past; Christmas present and Christmas future. It takes the form of a point-and-click adventure, kinda like a hidden object, mystery or puzzle game. You play the role of the Hand Of Fate and go through the story by exploring each scene and interacting with the characters to trigger the next event.
DS are aiming the game at the 7-plus market, gamers will be given the oppertunity to manipulate Scrooge's environments as they guide him through a supernatural adventure. The full range of the DS controls can be used, including blowing into the microphone as well as using the stylus to pull, drag, shake rattle and tap to influence Scrooge's world.
Some, but I suspect not all, will enjoy the game dialogue pitched in that old-school Charles Dickens style. In addition to the game players receive what I like to call a Christmas bonus which includes full Dickens novel in its original form, an advent calendar, a sing-along collection of five Christmas carols, 14 unlockable mini-games and a “pass the DS” multiplayer feature for family play. All in all a great Christmas gift and don't forget to vist me at Christmas Worldwide
