3D Xmas Adventure: Santa's Rescue

DOSGames.com Review:  Rating: 2.5
Spread the holiday cheer with this mediocre somewhat-Christmas themed game! It was released by Pie in the Sky Software to promote their 3D game creation system. As such, it's a decent game made with it, but it's still not great. There is a story in the game but it's not too important. You're running around outside in a forest with a lot of trees. A candy cane is your only weapon (?!) and you have to pick up Christmas stockings which work as ammo (?!?!). The original website describes it like this: "Armed with a magic candy cane that shoots jingles and sprinkles, you run around the North Pole gathering gifts, freeing grounded reindeer, and thawing out elves. Beware of the growling abominable snowmen and the menacing grinchy creatures!" Generally it looks and sounds okay, and as with all Pie in the Sky 3D games, it plays a bit too twitchy. It's not obvious what you're supposed to do or where to go, or even which characters are enemies.
