Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is an action-adventure game developed by High Voltage Software for the mh:awesomegames:Nintendo Wii and by Glyphic Entertainment for the mh:awesomegames:Nintendo DS, and published by Red Wagon Games in November 2010.

Plot
Join Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in helping with the decorations at the North Pole.

Overall

 * 1) Both games can be completed in around 12 minutes, making it more apparent that there was little to no thought added to this game at all.
 * 2) The graphics look like the game was made in early 1998, which is unacceptable for a game that was made in 2010 before Christmas.
 * 3) Very unfaithful to the special it is based on.
 * 4) Both of them are released after the special, which came out in the 1970s, so it was pointless to make a game based on the special.

Nintendo DS Version

 * 1) For starters, it only has 4 mini-games (the other 3 has to be unlocked in order to progress).
 * 2) * The mini-games are all pretty easy, making the game very boring and there's absolutely no challenge at all whatsoever in here.
 * 3) The cutscenes are very bland, especially for a game released in 2010, just around 4 decades after the movie was released with critical acclaim.
 * 4) The Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer theme song is the only song that plays throughout the entire game.
 * 5) The DS version was absolutely unnecessary, as it doesn't really offer you anything except to build a snowman in at least 1 mode.
 * 6) * No challenges are even present in this game at all. Sound familiar?

Nintendo Wii

 * 1) Just like the Nintendo DS version, this game barely even has any challenges at all.
 * 2) * Hermey out of all the characters in this game, can become a nuisance as he never EVER shuts up. He will keep saying "I'm a dentist!" over and over again.
 * 3) The movements in some of the mini-games can feel very restrictive, as most of the time, instead of having the objects go in the directions that you intended for them to go, they will go in the opposite direction, landing on where the object was thrown.
 * 4) * Speaking of which, you can't even lose at all in this game. Regardless if you got them all in or not, you still progress like as if nothing happened.
 * 5) Awful voice acting: Sam the Snowman sounds nothing like he was in the actual movie.
 * 6) * Granted, the original actor, Burl Ives died in 1995, but there's no excuse for abysmal voice acting for this game.
 * 7) Speaking of the mini-games, it's all part of the story mode, which makes ABSOLUTELY no sense at all.
 * 8) * And on top of that, the game in general has nothing fun or interesting at all, especially, when it comes to the last mini-game where you have to drop presents into chimneys. It's basically a hit-or-miss for the last mini-game, and it's the worst one at that.
 * 9) Speaking of the last mini-game, the houses are all the same with different paintjobs, just like another game that has identical issues shown here.

Reception
The game unsurprisingly got overwhelmingly negative reviews on Metacritic, with a low score of 0.8.

IGN gave the game a 1.5 out of 10, naming it the worst cash-grab movie-based game of all time.
