A reindeer-driven sleigh appears on the horizon, and swings in for a landing on a roof top. Santa hops out and jumps down the chimney. He lands in the living room, puts presents under the tree, drinks his hot toddy, hiccuping as he shoots up the chimney again.\r\n\r\nThe game on the flip side is no better and hasn't even got pretty graphics to promote it. You have a choice of spaceships with which you must blast a motley collection of aliens brought out of retirement from a Space invader junk yard.\r\n\r\nI am not given to using four letter words but this is a load of hype. But that won't stop you buying it. Go ahead, prove me wrong!","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"122","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[{"Name":"John Gilbert","Score":"2","ScoreSuffix":"/5"}],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Overall","Score":"2/5","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[]}]}]
