Just played it. It runs for about 15 minutes and is pretty fun for what you get.
The basic plot- The Doctor has dropped off Rose at a 1970's ABBA concert but is in sudden need of a companion and so chooses the viewer. It's once again Christmas and the entire universe is under threat by the Graske, demented midgets who take over planets by secretly replacing the essence of the people with their own.

I enjoyed the fourth wall element. I think everyone likes the idea of getting praise from their heroes. Since the game is likely intended for kids, the puzzles don't get much harder than basic memories and numbers. Personally, I messed up the "Who's the alien?" (the actual culprit would have been my second guess) and part of piloting the TARDIS. The Slitheen cameo was kinda fun but, again, I'm personally getting tired of them popping up. Ah well, it was all a bit of fun here. Speaking of, nice remark at the end about ITV :p
It seems at the end the game rates your overall personal performance. Apparently I'm a reserve companion now...woo! Also, which option did everyone pick with the Graske control panel? I went with 1.

The game element is actually pretty easy, all you have to do is pay attention.

I'd say the hardest game is the first one. You really don't know what you're looking for and the two views can be more of a distraction than an aid as a result.

I thought the flashing green eyes were a give away

I thought the flashing green eyes were a give away Like I said, if you don't know what you're looking for it becomes difficult the cameras seemed to focus on the gran and the kids. I missed the mother's eyes flashing, plus I was expecting something like odd behaviour

EDIT- Just played again and it proves my point. Stick to the default camera and you should spot the eyes no prob. Switching between the two cameras just makes it more difficult

The first one is a bit hard if you don't know what to look for, but that's the only one I got wrong. Pretty meh from me here, but I'm starting to take a liking to the new doctor.
