The Polar Express is an action game released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance. The gameplay centers around guiding the iconic train from the beloved holiday story through various challenges and obstacles. Players control the train to ensure it stays on track while navigating different environments inspired by the original narrative.
The main objective is to successfully deliver the train to its destination, overcoming hazards and timing-based puzzles that affect the train's movement and speed. The game maintains a steady pace, balancing moments of careful navigation with more intense sequences where quick reactions are required. This creates a dynamic rhythm throughout the experience.
A distinctive mechanic in The Polar Express involves controlling the train’s speed and direction to avoid derailment and collisions, which adds a layer of strategy uncommon in standard action games. The focus on train management combined with the holiday-themed setting offers an unusual twist that sets it apart within the genre.
