Don't miss it this season
I remember reading "The Nutcracker" when I was a child, and it did not impress me much - there were no princes and princesses, just an ordinary girl and some rather ugly-looking wooden toy. Fast forward some 30 years, and someone finally turned the girl and the toy into a princess and a prince! ...just when I stopped caring about fairy tale royalty. Nevertheless, I loved the game. Here are the reasons why: 1. It was the first game I played that had classical music in it. 2. I loved the artwork. 3. I was engulfed by the holiday spirit. This last point is the main reason, I guess. If you are looking for something magical for this Christmas, don't miss this game.

I LOVE THIS GAME!
I'm about to start this game for the second time! I love it. I had so much defeating the rat king the first time. The story line is great, and it's just an all around fun game to play as the holiday season approaches!

Another good one from Elephant games
This is an enjoyable game.
The graphics were excellent, and the music was nice also.
Some of the puzzles were hard and I skipped them.
The hints were necessary for me, but they recharged fast.
With Elephant games the hints never leave you stranded.
It doesn't have to be Christmas to enjoy this game.

Wonderful game
I played it right before the holidays. Since I've always loved the story of the Nutcracker, this was a must play game for me and I'm happy I wasn't disappointed.
It's great and I would recommend it to everyone :)

A real Christmas treat!
Gorgeous!!! Gorgeous!!! You can use the map, but the settings are so beautiful that you want to transverse them again and feast your eyes. 3 cute helpers - the nutcracker, the cat, and the candle. Delightufl evil rats.
The music of course....
It was like watching a flawless performance of the ballet...
Level of challenge was OK. Just to keep the story flowing and you did not feel guilty if you had to skip, so you could get back to Albert, Mary, and the Rat King. The HOGs were cluttered, a bit junk pile, but again, gorgeous to look at. Some interactive items. Bascially the puzzle solving does not get in teh way of the story or the mood.
Did I mention how much fun the rats were?

True Festive Fun
What a lovely game! Very Christmasy atmosphere, lots of snow, baubles, tinsel and presents. Great story, lots of action, very sweet 'helpers', puzzles not too difficult and a hint button that actually helps. Nice long game too. I found it a very relaxing, festive game to play in the run-up to Christmas with its absolutely beautiful graphics. Enjoy!

Elephant Games seldom disappoint!
Another great game from Elephant Games.
The storyline is good without being precious.
We were very impressed with the length of this game. We love that because we play an hour or two at a time.
The graphics are beautiful and the cut-in scenes were not too long, or too often, with actors' audio very well done.
There are plenty of HOGs and puzzles. The puzzles were different but some seemed like time-killers and (confession) we skipped those we felt we would eventually finish because we knew what to do it was just a matter of keeping at it.
Anyway, we really enjoyed this game!

Wow! Awesome
I loved this game. Beautiful graphics, nice music, good length. Best game I've played in awhile. A couple of the mini games were too hard--couldn't change the armor and gave up, lol. Map was a plus. Nice work folks.
