The Grinch - Game Boy Color

To succeed, you must employ a number of attacks, which includes throwing rotten eggs and scooping and throwing snowballs. You'll also learn to beat a hasty retreat if you're discovered (the Whoville folk chase you only until they run out of breath).

The simple GBC graphics bring back memories of older systems, but it's also easy to see the similarities between The Grinch and other games. Because it involves so much stealth, fans of Metal Gear Solid will draw parallels. The Grinch's near top-down view will also recall MGS's inset map screen. Being similar to Metal Gear Solid is no drawback: both are fun, solid games. --Todd Mowatt
