Product Description:
In The Grinch, you play as the Grinch--naturally. You must runall about Whoville, and steal Christmas away from the happy Whovillians. Each ofthe 30 levels of the game is structured like a maze. As the Grinch, you mustnegotiate the mazes, while staying out of the line of sight of any human being.If you steal everything in a maze without being seen at all, you win a bonus.
To succeed, you must employ a number of attacks. Grinch attacks include throwingrotten eggs, and scooping and throwing snowballs. Also, you'll learn to beat ahasty retreat if you're discovered (the Whoville folk chase you only until theyrun out of breath).
The simple GBC graphics bring back memories of older systems, but it's easy alsoto see the similarities between The Grinch and other games. Because itinvolves so much stealth, fans of Metal Gear Solid will draw similarparallels. The Grinch's near top-down view also will draw parallels withMGS's inset map screen. Being similar to MGS is no drawback; thisis a fun, solid game. --Todd Mowatt
Pros: - Uses colors, sprites, and power of Game Boy Color very well
- You can play part of game as Grinch's sidekick, Max the dog
Cons: - A few more levels would have been nice to have

Amazon.com Product Description:
In this third-person action-adventure game--which is based, in part, on the live-action film of the same name--you play the role of the Mean One himself. Embark on a quest through 24 missions, from Whoville to an underwater world, and across four Seussian environments with three minigames and a bonus level. Players collect and assemble a variety of gadgets, such as the rotten-egg launcher, the slime shooter, bad breath, and the GrinchCopter. Players can transform into the Grinch's sidekick, Max the Dog, to explore areas that are inaccessible to the Mean One.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Really great and simple
I like Metal Gear Solid, and this is a simple version of it (but as fun) It's challenging, as well as with a lot of stratergy. Fun, especially for the Christmas season.
Rating:  - if you like Metal Gear Solid you will like this
this is another stealth game by Konami but with The Grinch instead of Solid Snake, it plays just like the Gameboy Color Metal Gear Solid game, you sneak around trying to steal presents, get crazy gadgets and so on, this type of game is perfect on the handheld because you can play it in short spurts
Rating:  - Didn't get item
