I received this game with the Wii console that was a birthday present from my family. As no one knew what game I wanted (I don't think I even knew if I were to look myself), this was bought in hopes that it would be my kind of game. When I first saw it, I have to admit I was skeptical. For one, I'm horrible at action games, tend to avoid games based off of movies, not to mention that I have never seen the Narnia movies, nor have I read any of the books.

I was very pleasantly surprised when I finally popped the game disc into my Wii, and couldn't stop playing for hours afterwards.

The environments and graphics are simply gorgeous, and there are little boundaries to exploration. The game is quest based, and you can complete the quests in any order in the area that you are in. There are little puzzles that aren't so complex that they're frustrating, but they're hidden around for you to find to unlock bonus content on the main menu (such as artwork and videos).

I find the difficulty to be perfect to enjoy the game. It's not frustratingly difficult (so far), but it does take a little bit of thinking and exploring to find out what to do next (and if you get stuck, there's a log you can pull up on the screen that has goals for you and hints on how to complete them).

Another thing I found myself enjoying was the fact that there are multiple characters for you to switch whenever you feel like it. Certain characters are needed to accomplish certain tasks (there are advantages to being smaller, or being stronger, or being able to use a bow, etc.), and the characters that are unused will run around and help you out when you need them (fighting enemies, or simultaneously pulling another lever).

All in all it is a FUN game that I recommend to anyone. The reviews I have read online are mixed, but I wonder if some criticism is a bit harsh. So far I have not found myself bored by ANY means, and I am very happy to have it in my game library.

Not Worth Fifty Dollars

As I said, not worth fifty dollars. The detail of the backgound is indeed impressive. The sounds are in tune and don't sound like old age game songs. I like this game because of the characters you get to play such as the mythological creatures. I have never seen a game that had these creatures in it. The closest game that came to this was the LOTR series. The background of this game was amazing. Technology this advanced made the game more life like. The castle, forest, and even the battle were life like. The characters on the other hand need a little tune up. There is only one problem with them and only one character, which is susan. She stands funny. Some people don't usually care about that, but it was enough to catch my eye. Congrats to caspian's uncle, he knows how to fight. I didn't like lucy that much. She only used daggers. Daggers don't do much for my taste like swords and bows and arrows do. There was one part in the game where caspian was talking, but his mouth didn't move. Sometimes when the characters spoke, their mouth isn't in sync with the words. There was another thing, aslan didn't show up! Then there was the worst thing, after the battle ended, the game ended. In the snap of fingers, it ended! I give a five on detailed background, four on the characters, and a zero on aslan's appearance. The worst thing out of all this is that the game itself didn't even last two hours. It was too easy!
