 Rating:  - A bad game...but a lot of fun!!By most people's standards, the Golden Compass on Wii would be described as a horrible game, but personally I think it's not all that bad. (Granted, i got it for a budget price...) Firstly, the graphics are awful, like a blurry 1st-generation ps2 game, and there is absoloutely no excuse for that. The environments are acceptable at some points in the game, but it is the expressionless and blocky characters which make the game frustrating to look at. The gameplay won't win any awards either, since most of the time, you are just fetching items, jumping on platforms, or playing shallow 2d minigames. Thankfully, the wii's motion sensing controls do make some of the gameplay bareable, and pumelling through hordes of witches ... Read More: Rating: - A decent game for the younger fansDeveloped by Shiny Entertainment, this Sega published movie tie-in attempts to envelop you in the world of the highly successful books. But can the game escape the usual brush movie tie-ins are tarred with? Unmistakeably, this title is aimed at the book's younger readers - which will delight in being able to play through this action adventure as Lyra, controlling her daemon Pan (the physical representation of a person's soul which all people have in this fantasy world), and also by fighting as the armoured bear Iorek. Shiny Entertainment (think Earthworm Jim) have singled out their target audience for this title as kids, and so older readers of the books need to be aware the game will not challenge them in the slightest. ...

BUT this game definately didn't do that! I personally wasn't impressed by the film and therefore would say the game is 100% better than it! The control were easy to master and game play was interesting and moved at a good pace. Would definately recommend purchasing Rating:  - A poor cash in on the film's nameThis may look cute and fun but, quite simply, it isn't. The developer has rushed it out to cash in on the film to dupe new gamers who have just got into gaming via the Wii. The graphics are poor, the game is short and repetitive and no care has been taken. There are already lots similar games available which all do it so much better. If you're after platforming fun go for Super Mario Galaxy, Zack and Wiki, Super Paper Mario, NiGHTS or Sonic and the Secret Rings. Always be very wary of buying games based on films. More often than not the publisher knows it will sell on the back of the film and so they rush it out and take little care. If you're thinking of buying a game based on a film (or any game for that matter) make sure ... Read More: Rating:  - The movie maybe, the book never.I loved "The Golden Compass (Wii)" I have it, and have been playing it for about a week. The graphics are fine for the Wii, though obviously the system can't hope to reproduce the graphics in some of the high-end games for the PS3 and Xbox 360 Consoles. The gameplay will get slightly tiresome after a while, and the combat options as Iorek Byrnison (the armored bear) are very shallow. Don't get me wrong, this is a great game, and while playing as Lyra, your options are extensive. Game play as Lyra revolves around a series of mini games and running around doing tasks. The integration of Pan in the game is fabulous. You can switch him into 4 different forms, each with a special ability, using a tap of the direction pad. When Lyra ... Read More: |
