Tim Burton's: The Nightmare Before ChristmasJava游戏

Forget Chicago and Moulin Rouge and pretty much every other movie musical you can think of. The Nightmare Before Christmas is the best there is. In our humble opinion, at least, the 1993 film never gets old.

So we got quite excited by the prospect of a pre-Christmas mobile game based on Tim Burton's production. The licence offers endless possibilities and brilliant characters, like Zero the dog, Sally, the Major of Halloween Town, Oogie Boogie and Lock, Shock and Barrel.

But have any of them been used for the game? No, they haven't. Nightmare Before Christmas the game is a very different prospect to the film. Instead of sleigh riding, missile dodging or present making, its creator has decided to translate the experience into a puzzle game. Because, of course, Jack spends a lot of time solving puzzles and pushing pumpkins around in the movie – we must have been getting the popcorn during those segments.

Each level contains a number of presents scattered around it, and every one needs to be collected by Jack, then taken to his sack. Stages contain a selection of challenges, although once learnt, opponents and strategies for dealing with them are recycled throughout. So there are witches who need to be lured over a trap door to get rid of them, jack-in-the-boxes that must be blocked off by pushing an item in front of them, and lasers to shoot and zap enemies with.
