Review

 

Immerse yourself in the magical world of The Golden Compass, the new blockbuster film from the studio behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

It is a world where witches fly through frozen skies, giant armoured bears fight to defend their kingdom and where sinister Gobblers kidnap children and carry them to a frozen wasteland. And it is a world of intense danger and amazing adventure for the rebellious Lyra Belacqua...

Her uncle, Lord Asriel, has been imprisoned, her best friend Roger kidnapped and now she must leave the safety of Jordan College to rescue both. Joining Lyra in her mission is her animal daemon, Pan, as well as a giant and powerful polar bear, Iorek, and the mysterious Golden Compass - a truth-telling device that will help lead the way. Together they embark on an epic journey of action, exploration, collaboration and discovery.

I was given this game when I first got the wii and was very disappionted.
The graphics are terrible, it looks like an early gamecube game.
There are many tedious thing in this game, the worst are the parts were Lyra is walking across a been and you have to balance the wii remote but if you keep it level and steady she will still fall.
The story line has little to do with the film which incidentally has little to do with the books so you get endless and pointless missions.
if you buy this game you will regret it
