Tbh Caddicarus, who's semi popular, reviewed it the fairest imo. Looking past the nostalgia, the game does some things well, and some things really not. It the end, it sums up to "ok". Definitely not a bad game, a lot of effort and love and creativity was put into it, but it lacks a lot of polish and game dev experience other games have.
i seriously have spent the past 20 yrs thinking im one of the only people in this world to enjoy this game. its extra sad to see all the reviews rip on it, especially when all the reviewers admit to never having played it up until the last few years, which looking back on something like that having never experienced it makes it look a lot worse than it actually was. This is also one of my favorite ps1 games and the soundtrack fits so perfectly in with the mischievous christmas theme. I admit its not perfect but this game is a such a unique gem that doesnt deserve to be ignored and shit on like it is. glad to see theres at least 5 people in these comments that like the game too
@@whiteguar6757 I agree and I feel a lot of these players who haven't played this game until recently dont take in to fact this is how a lot if ps1 games were
I loved this game so much as a child. Today I am 27, I bought a ps mini classic, added this game to the playlist and finished it 100%. So many good memories.
I played this so much as a kid. Mix that with spyro and crash, the bugs bunny game, Simpsons wrestling(aweful but fun), I didn't have a memory card. Thank you so much for uploading this. If you are doing other games in the future, let me know.
Darezzi, thank you so much! I really loved this game when I was a kid! Would love to play it on PSP :) By the way, I wasn’t able to achieve 100% completion ) I hope you are safe and well - 2020 was pretty hard for many people... Best regards, Paul
I still don’t know what those things are at the 54:25 mark, but they always scared the crap out of me as a kid. And I never realized that you could get just get rid of them with the Grinch’s bad breath.
Dude you brought me good memories!!! I used to play this game when I was a child, and I never saw the end because my brother broke the CD lol....thanks yooo
I found this game on the floor in my room and put it in my dad's old fat 40 pound PS3 and I can say it is one of the best PS one games ever made I'm looking on eBay for the PS mini LCD screen and the PS mini itself and I might be able to play the Grinch in the car (with the right cords)
Damn man, what a story! I honestly think that the grinch isn't a very good game, but it's pretty fun just for the silly shit that goes on. And I have huuuge nostalgia for it. Good luck on your portable Grinch quest!
darezzi97 thanks but those portable lcd screens are pretty scarce and on eBay I'd be paying more for the screen than the ps1. The game was very dumb and most of the things were hard to do for me but I think 5 extra years in gaming could've helped me eat eggplants and harass who's.
What gifts despawn in whoville?, I missed one in whoville on the green hanging thing because I can't get it with the jet pack because I hit the one closer to me rather then the one further away, so when I get the grinch copter it wouldn't despawn right?
Literally tempted to buy this right now.. it’s been sooo long since I have played this game... makes me sad I never owned it 😔 I did have Spyro and Crash so I wasn’t fully missing out..
Despite the mischief he caused, it was nice of the Grinch to repair WhoVille's power plant steam pipes. That job would have cost them thousands of dollars to hire a team of technicians and the Grinch did it for free.
@@darezzi97 Thanks for the playthrough. As a child my favorite part of the game was making the grinch his head in that elevator. Made me laugh for hours.
@@kaiju6396 ahh, no probs. My grinch stream is kind of an annual thing nowadays, always fun to do. Still have to do the second half of last year's -.-'
57:10 how did you do jump from branch to branch? i am playing this game rn on my computer (Emulator) and i can't really do it, if i try to i fall to the ground :( help pls
It depends on when you press jump during your swing. You have to time it so that you go diagonally. I think the strictest timing is when you have to get to that blueprint in whoville.
man! am playing on a emulator and i can´t pass through the tree that connects the third and second platforms in mount who (where are those people dancing-subatoi), it's like a fucking invisible wall there.
Hi i have a problem that dont let me get 100% complete game, those pilars ( 2:51:14 ) dont reset when i enter in the stage. Should i start from 0 or u have a solution? Ty alot
I'm pretty sure he is talking about that the pillars aren't there to begin with, so if he has nothing to shoot down then he can't have any platforms to get up
I'm not entirely sure, but I heard about something like that from a speedrunner of this game. It's never happened to me, but I think it's like, somewhere in Who-Lake
Well, you beat those tree carer guys just by knocking them out with a rotten egg, then fucking up their tree. I guess they hang themselves after their tree is dead or something
Dude, I had no god damn clue what I was doing at that point hahaha. I did do another stream of it a year later, just still never got around to uploading it :P
woaaaaah its so cool how i found your video first before this comment lol. cus i was like check your other video after you said something about taz and bunny time something. maybe if you play that game i will absolutely watch that bunny and taz what a nostalgia man
i cant find the last 3 gifts in the 1st stage... i have 497/500, i hit every guy and guard in the game, i walk around of all the stage and i cant find those 3 gifts :C
Well, I found all 500, so if you just watch carefully what I did, you'll probably see the ones you missed :> Off the top of my head though, I don't really know any gifts that are particularly difficult to find.
Visually, the Dreamcast version is superior IMO. Though I think the PS1 controls are slightly better IMO. (I know there’s a PC version too, but I’ve yet to play that version lol)
First of all, I didn't record it, I streamed it, then exported from Twitch to youtube. Second, I used OBS Studio, an application that can both stream and record. It's absolutely free and open source!
Ja skroz zaboravio da sam nešto rekao na srpskom, hah. I ja igrao tonu kao klinac. Drago mi je da ti se sviđalo, ali sad je malo cringe kakav sam bio pre dve godine -.-'
Svi moramo da počenmo od nečega, a tebi je engleski fulka, tako da bih ti preporučio da furaš ovaj fazon, jer možeš dosta da se probiješ u inostranstvu, a pritom i da stekneš solidnu zaradu. Uživaj
Did you find the last gift ? I am in the same situation as you. I searched for hours and nothing.. is there a glitch in Who Forrest that dispawns the last gift ???
dmc4 hell and hell is easier if you do it as vergil. when vergil has all his moves unlocked. one of the moves is just tapping B to vanish in place and reappear. its really really useful for every boss and enemy. your practically untouchable as long as you time it right.
I don't know why you commented this on a grinch playthrough lol. But in any case, I really, really, really disagree with you, and I feel like you didn't actually try this strategy you're talking about
@@darezzi97 well its just you mentioned it around an hr and a half lol. and i loves dmc4 special edition! and *my gamertag is OG xHanson* and *i have the achievments* to show for it. vergil all the way man! it works vergil just dissapears and reapears in the face of the enemy with the tap of B (and using Lock On), i cant remember what move it is in the upgrade list, but its what i did for heaven and hell and hell and hell. and all i did was hack and slash and use B tap in sync with the enemys trying to attack. and boss's on heaven and hell, since they arnt one hit, but you are one hit, i dont see how its possible without vergil and that move. call it a dodging exploit maybe, regardless i wish i could Heart your comment cause it does work 😂❤
@@jayrising442 My dude, I don't know what you did or how you did it, but vergil's dodge is terrible. You are FORCED to do air trick (which is what you're talking about), which has a tiny amount of s. So you won't dodge stuff like Berial's AOE. Nero/Dante is way easier to S-rank hell and hell with.
dude this is the move... its flawless. th-cam.com/video/R6TN7o2HvJ4/w-d-xo.html go to 0:30 to see how hes constantly vanashing. go to 0:40 to see a SMALL sample of it used in combat. youll use it more yourself like at 0:30 in my oppinion. thats ALL you have todo. constantly vanish, that and taunt for s rank. super easy my man. and no, you wont dodge berials AOE. however, you have to know how to read that fight so well to the point of knowing when hes gonna do it, and run the other way. thats the only way to dodge that with any character. is being out of range. which when you are out of range, youll be pretty surprised at how small of a range of attack his AOE has. vs when you actually get hit by it, the game makes it feel like the entire playfield was affected. not the case. run out of range as soon as you cycle through his attacks. its all a cycle. with only a minor change up when he reaches lower health. now im gonna finish your grinch playthrough, cuz i played this game as a kid but never beat it! lol! (kinda ironic talking about h&h dmc4 huh?) and you gained a subscriber through me because your commentary is good. i hate no commenetary playthroughs. final thought, you should practice the dodge trick on dante must die mode, until your doing it without being hit. eventually, youll be like "omg dude, holy shit!" i promiss.
@@jayrising442 I already S-ranked everything, and I know how to style with vergil. I have a playthrough of VMD in dmc3 that I didn't upload yet, but I know how it works. And I know how to use it, but it's still shit, because you're forced to teleport into the enemy. Any enemy with a lingering hitbox will kill you, so most of the time, you have to jump instead of do air trick to be safe (example being mephistos).
I dunno, Crash games, especially 2 and 3, have their own very rhythm based tracks. I think the Grinch tracks (this game's tracks specifically) are pretty unique
Hi mate congrats and thank u cause i played this game at 6 but did not complete it so i buy one now i m 26 and with yr help i finished it in 2 days 😂 its very hard isn't it?? I think this is the hardest game played cause i ve finished all my games except this one.
Thanks fam. I honestly hate it in this video, I think I improved a good bit these days. Also, finally a comment that doesn't mention how nostalgic The Grinch is, but says something about the person trying to play it :>

Well, look up some guides on how to set up a "PS1 emulator". I personally recommend looking up retroarch, how to set it up, and then how to set up the ps1 emulator specifically. That's how I played and recorded this game!
I loved this game as a Child. all those memories :)
I know man. It's pretty amazing. I'm probably gonna play it again at some point. Still enjoy it a lot.
It's rare to see a video where they don't just shit on the game, saying it's horrible and whatnot. This is still one of my favorite PS1 game.

I loved this game so much as a child. Today I am 27, I bought a ps mini classic, added this game to the playlist and finished it 100%. So many good memories.
I loved this game, and i used to play it so much when i had a ps1.
Dude, you can play it still! Just download the emulator, use your old game disc if possible, and play to your heart's content!
Thanks man.
Daniele Arturo Nappi No problem! Just look up ePSXe and do a bit of readin.
This is quality content i love watching these long streams about games I haven’t played
Thank you. Finally found someone who has commentary for this game. This was one of my childhood games.
Thank you! Just so you know, if you want to play it yourself, you can on PC, with the help of an emulator.
I played this so much as a kid. Mix that with spyro and crash, the bugs bunny game, Simpsons wrestling(aweful but fun), I didn't have a memory card. Thank you so much for uploading this. If you are doing other games in the future, let me know.
You sound pretty excited, you should definitely play the games yourself on PC!
And if you like what I'm doing, you should head over to twitch, I don't really upload on youtube but I still stream
Darezzi, thank you so much!
I really loved this game when I was a kid!
Would love to play it on PSP :)
By the way, I wasn’t able to achieve 100% completion )
I hope you are safe and well - 2020 was pretty hard for many people...
Best regards,
Paul
Thanks paul, I'm glad you enjoyed the video

hah, too bad then. Just fyi, it'll pay off more to get a small PC unit and run the game through a PS1 emulator :D
I've played a couple games on emulators
But I think the original hardware gives the games their charm
Also I think the game is so good for me is because it's the first game that I actually followed the story instead of just walking around
I’m glad i finally found a video about this lovely game, keep going like that
2:42:14
Emperor Penguins are the D-bags of the bird kingdom. Hasn't anyone seen Happy Feet?
What gifts despawn in whoville?, I missed one in whoville on the green hanging thing because I can't get it with the jet pack because I hit the one closer to me rather then the one further away, so when I get the grinch copter it wouldn't despawn right?
Loved this game as a kid, wish it got more attention or even a re-release on PlayStation Store.
Love this game been playing every christmas since I got it back in the ps1 days
I remember not being able to get far at all in this game maybe second or first leve
Literally tempted to buy this right now.. it’s been sooo long since I have played this game... makes me sad I never owned it 😔 I did have Spyro and Crash so I wasn’t fully missing out..
i have playstation 2 playstation 3 and playstation4
What did you originally say? Asking for a friend
3:06:00 your right cause cockroaches keep coming back and they never seem to die
That video game deserves a remake available to Xbox series X, PS5 and Nintendo Switch 😭😭❤❤
aww come on man, no PC? :(
@@darezzi97 yes and PC
Despite the mischief he caused, it was nice of the Grinch to repair WhoVille's power plant steam pipes. That job would have cost them thousands of dollars to hire a team of technicians and the Grinch did it for free.
Yeah, if you think about it, he didn't really actually break anything. He just turned it off. Meanwhile, he fixed a bunch of broken stuff. based

26:30 that face on his mask looks funny
I hope to see you all this Christmas 2020
32:43 it should infection rather then tension
man! am playing on a emulator and i can´t pass through the tree that connects the third and second platforms in mount who (where are those people dancing-subatoi), it's like a fucking invisible wall there.
Remember that in the movie the grinch eats trash so the dump is the perfect place for him to get food since he eats garbage
Hi i have a problem that dont let me get 100% complete game, those pilars ( 2:51:14 ) dont reset when i enter in the stage. Should i start from 0 or u have a solution? Ty alot
what do you mean reset? They're not supposed to reset, they are game progress!
darezzi97 they r not there, thry r not in the roof or the floor. I will start all the game from 0.. fk
Dude, I don't think the pillars have anything to do with your 100%. You're just missing something somewhere
I'm pretty sure he is talking about that the pillars aren't there to begin with, so if he has nothing to shoot down then he can't have any platforms to get up
Corina were you able to get past that part?
Hey do you have any tips for jumping on bars
I loved this game along with bug bunny lost in time haha
So what gifts can despawn in the game and in which areas are they located?
I'm not entirely sure, but I heard about something like that from a speedrunner of this game. It's never happened to me, but I think it's like, somewhere in Who-Lake
Your commentary is the best 😂😂
How nice of you! I'd like to think I improved from my kiddie days though
2:30:50 what is so bad about the wind blowing in the wrong direction, that's not a terrible prank I would think it would be worse
I think what the green fuck did was redirect a pipeline with some trash waste gas into his ventilation system. I wouldn't be too happy about that
I love this game! Played it on PC and I bought it off ebay about 5 years ago on ps1. Still play it sometimes 😂
You should make sure to make an image file of it, or download an image file from somewhere! I played the ps1 version on PC for this let's play
wait how did you defeat the bad guy on the 54 minutes?
Well, you beat those tree carer guys just by knocking them out with a rotten egg, then fucking up their tree. I guess they hang themselves after their tree is dead or something
just one thing that bothers me the sound of the game is too low compare to yourvoice man. so i cant hear the rhyme lol. thanks man for making this
Dude, I had no god damn clue what I was doing at that point hahaha. I did do another stream of it a year later, just still never got around to uploading it :P
Alright, I just uploaded it. There :D
woaaaaah its so cool how i found your video first before this comment lol. cus i was like check your other video after you said something about taz and bunny time something. maybe if you play that game i will absolutely watch that bunny and taz what a nostalgia man
6;34;53 they said as long as we have heads to bash, wtf
Wow! How long did it take you to upload this video?
Julien Torres I don't exactly know! I streamed this on twitch, and you have an export option there. So really, Twitch did all the work for me.
one of the best games!
So what languages do you know at this point?
I mean, only Serbian and English well enough to speak fluently. Know a very small amount of german too though.
2:58:38 he sounds like marge from the simpsons
i cant find the last 3 gifts in the 1st stage... i have 497/500, i hit every guy and guard in the game, i walk around of all the stage and i cant find those 3 gifts :C
Well, I found all 500, so if you just watch carefully what I did, you'll probably see the ones you missed :>
Off the top of my head though, I don't really know any gifts that are particularly difficult to find.
FINALLY, start looking the video and i found that the guy in the three had the last gift
Ahh, glad to have been of help!
Visually, the Dreamcast version is superior IMO.
Though I think the PS1 controls are slightly better IMO.
(I know there’s a PC version too, but I’ve yet to play that version lol)
awesome this game brings back memmories :]
Had this for PC!
how record this game? me bandicam no recording
First of all, I didn't record it, I streamed it, then exported from Twitch to youtube. Second, I used OBS Studio, an application that can both stream and record. It's absolutely free and open source!
Thanks
My firt GTA hahahaha
THANK YOU
Does this game work for PS4?
Yep. And there's a PS3, Xbox 360, Switch, and even mobile port!
Wait so you could buy the game for the systems or you could just use your ps1 disc version of the grinch game?
Great game.
1:16:11 I heard the grinch say eh, is he Canadian?
He's a man of many cultures
Gledam 40 minuta klip i samo odjednom skontam da si Srbin. Odmah još veći respect od mene jer mi je ovo igrica detinjstva bila :D
Ja skroz zaboravio da sam nešto rekao na srpskom, hah. I ja igrao tonu kao klinac. Drago mi je da ti se sviđalo, ali sad je malo cringe kakav sam bio pre dve godine -.-'
