Play The Polar Express Online
Hop between train cars, dodge obstacles, and grab golden tickets while the Polar Express chugs along—watch out for icy rooftops and that noisy furnace room. Yeah, sometimes you just get socks, but driving the train later makes up for it.
I remember playing The Polar Express on my Game Boy Advance back in 2004, a game published by THQ. It was one of those licensed titles that came out around the holidays, trying to capture the feel of the movie on a handheld that was still pretty popular at the time. You don't hear much about it now, but it was a solid little platformer for what it was.
You control the boy from the film, moving through the train car by car, jumping across gaps and dodging obstacles like rolling meatballs or hot coals. The main goal is to collect tickets, which you do by exploring each screen thoroughly, sometimes climbing up to the icy roof or carefully navigating the noisy furnace room. The pacing is fairly quick, though some sections can be tricky with timing your jumps just right. It feels like a straightforward, cheerful adventure that fits right in with the movie's spirit.
