After an uncomfortable beginning in which Mrs. Claus acts like
kind of a
crazy nagging shrew (he's Santa, for heaven's sake, cut him some slack), executing Frost's predictable plan seems to take up three -
quarters of the movie, followed by a quick and equally predictable resolution.
It's a quirky, action - packed side - scrolling action game: You have a life meter (instead
of the
quarter - eating, maddening, «one hit and you die» style
of many old school shooters), you pick your primary weapon, and you bounce around the screen like some
kind of crazy ninja, flinging enemies around and filling the screen with bullets (or fire, or whatever your weapon
of choice is).
