if you liked the movie, you'll like the game even more. it has very good graphics and a complex storyline and awsome gameplay. the game is pretty much built around the same plot and structure as the movie. you start out in the house when that idiot edmund hits the ball throught the window and starts an escape from the old dude and ends up in the closte with the other kids and discovers narnia(wich we all now lucy found first wich is also covered in this game before the window ball crap). then you enter diffrent tasks and stages in the game. forinstance, you fight your way to the beaver house and have to run away from the wolfes wile searching for edmund. you go throyght the tunnel and do battle with these mentally retarded yetty cow things and fight a giant one on your way out. this game has an intristing way of swithcing characters during the game like when edmund runs away and the game suddenly switches from the three other kids fighting through the snow and looking for edmund to edmund climbing the shear jagged rock faces in a blizzard to the white witches palace to edmund being locked up by the white wich and freeing the captives while escaping. so, over all this game is very obsorbing and a truckload of fun. it isn't that hard yet still some what challenging. plus its for the gba wich is made by nintendo wich means you'll never have any problems, so go buy it!

Definitely not as good as the film

I loved the Narnia books, I loved the recent Narnia film, so I bought the Gameboy Advance game to take on holiday with me. I couldn't resist temptation and started it before I got on holiday. I played it for over 2 hours straight, and got quite far. When my hand was twisted into a claw shape, and I couldn't move or feel it anymore, I saved the game, switched it off, and went about life.

After take off, and lots of white knuckles from me, I went back to the game, determined to get past the section I'd got stuck at. (Where Peter has to get across the ice - I died every time!) Then I discovered my game hadn't saved, and I was straight back to square one, which was very annoying. I HATE having to restart games, unless I'm the one who decides that.

What really irritated me about this game was the fact that no matter how many times you killed a baddie, when you came back through, the baddie had reappeared. There was no definite way of killing them, and it really frustrated me, cos half the time, if you were travelling in a group, the others would get in your way, especially Lucy & Peter if you weren't playing as them. And their fighting skills leave little to be desired for. Peter was the best one. Susan threw snowballs which most of the time never reached their destination, and Lucy kicked. Wow.

I lost my game a couple of times on holiday, although my boyfriend managed to get it back for me, but by this time, I was fast losing what little patience I had with it, and made up my mind halfway through the holiday that I was gonna sell it without bothering it to complete it. It wasn't worth the money, it definitely wasn't easy for me to complete, and I now hate the game. Is it enough to put me off Gameboy games for life? No. This one yes.

Entertaining but tricky

this was one of the better games I have played. The only bad part is that I get stuck a lot. Right know I can't figure out how to defeat the white witch! HELP ME!!! Anyways, If you do get stuck i'd suggest putting the game down and doing something else for 2 or 3 hours. Getting stuck usually means you've been playing to long and need a break. I also find that in the begining lucy and susan less useful that the boys but they get better as you move along. Over all it is a lot of fun and i would recomend it to anyone.

My son Danyal has special love for Narnia and hence this game is also special to him

Way To Short

This game may look good on the cover, but it can be finished within 2-3 hours. Graphics are not realistic, neither are the sound effects. The battle parts are 'okay' but not at all realistic. I was very disappointed with it. Return of the King GBA game is a much better use of money. It's cheaper too.

It has many "chapters" that are not in either the book, or the movie (both of which I enjoy). I traded this game in for The Third Age, which is an awesome game. Save your money, get Return of the King.

Mediocre game, short, too easy, and boring.

First of all, I do like Narnia, the books and movie and all. I think this game doesn't do it any justice and a person who is just being introduced to Narnia may conclude that they don't like it just because they played this game. If you are a child under the age of ten, you may find this game much more exciting.

This game is about 3 hours long, maybe less. It is nothing like real Narnia, and is far too easy. You play as the different characters Ed, Susan, Peter, and Lucy, and each have their own way of attacking. It runs much like Spyro, which is neither side-scrolling, perspective, or first person.

Edmund punches at first, Lucy kicks (very ineffectively), Susan throws snowballs (what is that gonna do?) and Peter hits with a stick. Peter can kill any enemy almost instantly, but when he gets a sword it is LESS effective!

The game tries to follow the storyline, but goes off on its own paths sometimes, which can be incredibly boring. Since when did Edmund have to climb cliffs to reach the [Witch]'s castle? (P.S. Amazon won't let me write [witch] for real! But this is Narnia, the Lion, the [WITCH!!!] and the Wardrobe) Also, it follows some parts it shouldn't, such as Lucy and Aslan unmelting the creatures in the castle. That is a long, boring chapter.

And here is a warning to anyone who would buy this: If you find the squirrel's heirloom and then save the game and turn your unit off before the next chapter, when you begin to play again you will have to look for the heirloom again, but it won't exist anymore! Therefore you must begin the entire game over to get any further (it happened to me, anyone else happen to save the game at a horrible time?).

Overall, the game gets a little better as you progress into the un-snowy lands, but again it is simply too short. If you really want to spend money on this game, wait and spend as little as possible because you won't be enjoying it for more than a few hours. It could be a good game if there were more ideas involved, it was much longer, and more adventurous (and less easy to get lost in the snowy regions).

The enemies are very easy to defeat, especially the wolves when you play as Peter (and no, you can't choose who to play as). There are tiny goblins, big goblins, minotaurs, and almost every other enemy you saw in the movie. The White [Witch] Jadis IS easy to defeat, especially because you can stop every ten seconds and fully replenish your health!

One last bit is about the sound. The music is sleepy and dumb, it is not from the movie or anything, and only makes the game worse.

I have decided that if it were only a few dollars, it would be a better game, but it doesn't give you much Narnia experience or realistic battles. If they made a longer, 3D first person version for Nintendo DS....

The Best Game Ever!!!!!!!!

This is my absolute favorite game! My parents got it for me for Christmas and I was hooked! I've finished the game twice, almost three times now. Chapter 12 is really hard, and in Chapter 17 to defeat the Witch wait till she leans over, then do a Unified Face. Aslan will then come and (my friend says) bite her head off. It's not fair though, that Peter is the leader in eight of the chapters and Susan, Edmund, and Lucy only get to be the leader in three. I love this game!!!! :)

I love Narnia, but

After playing the PS2 version of Narnia I expected a close level of attention to this gameboy advance title; however, it seems it was slapped together very quickly. The game is very linear and plot elements are skimmed through so quickly; they miss some scenes from the book/movie. Graphics and sound are good, but the pevensies aren't drawn very well. If you get an item, leave the area, come back, the item is there again, so you can really stock up. Short game, and i wish it was more expansive and not so linear.

Okay

This game was quite fun. Although it was quite short and I finished it in two days, there were some challenges. For example beating the white witch. I overall think this was very fun, and a bit educational because it teaches you problem solving and makes you want to achieve goals.
