I thought this game wasn't that bad. I think what mostly struck to me as annoying about it was how to get rid of the elves that were coming from the back. It just didn't seem like there was any way to fully avoid them. Still, you know how to put good style in your games with the graphics. They really were some of the finest I've seen in awhile. A pity the gameplay didn't come out that well.
There probably have been a couple violent Christmas games out there. It only fits with how Santa is sometimes depicted as evil. I wasn't even sure if I was supposed to avoid the grass at first. For however hard it was, I was at least able to get down to 2810. The title was a tad strange too.
