Prince Caspian ROCKS! (2008-07-04)
I thought this was a great game...the non-linear play makes it much more interesting than the first. You can complete missions, then complete side missions in any order you want. You can team up with creatures, fight as creatures with different skills. You can even ride into battle as a Centuaur and just trample soldiers, slashing as you go. Cool puzzles to solve, objects to collect, and lots of battle action. Besides the main characters and the creatures, you can also play as characters like Prince Caspian and his tutor, and other side characters. I thought this game is great followup to the first, and it blows the first game away. Sure to be enjoyed by kids, teens and any Narnia fans.
How disappointing. (2008-05-27)
The first Chronicles of Narnia game (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe) was an amazing game. Stellar graphics, seemless transition from movie to game, imaginative level design, excellent two player strategy, a level system for special attacks, etc. Therefore, I was excited to play Prince Caspian.
I think there are a few things that ruin this game. First is it not being linear. Each level is open-ended. Each stage is broken down into different areas that are re-accessible over and over again. Items re-appear and you are asked with a prompt if you'd like to re-do the area. I don't know who thought that would be a good idea.
Second, most of the game is just finding the missing lever so that you can re-attach it to the crank. There is an over-abundance of crank pulling, which takes 5 seconds or more of button mashing to complete.
Third, there are no special attacks. In the first game you were allowed to level up and earn special attacks. Characters now are limited to three attacks or less, with very little variation. Lucy cannot even use her cordial to heal, Susan does not use the pan flute or the horn, etc.
Fourth, there are 20 or more playable characters in this game. You cannot choose the character you want at any given time, but are limited to whatever characters they give you in each stage. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather play as the main characters and not as a tree, centaur, or Caspian's tutor.
Fifth, Huge Battles play out in the background. They are just eye candy. You can stand in the middle of a huge battleground and never be hurt. The game is easy. Involving button mashing to get through.
Sixth, missions are boring. More crank turning and many things in the game were not in the movie at all.
Seventh - The first game featured cast interviews and other interesting extras and movies. This game lacks in that department.
The problem with this game was that there wasn't much to the movie or the book, so they didn't have much to work with in the first place; however, it could have still been a great game, if it played like the first.
I'm a big fan of the Chronicles of Narnia, but this game is nothing more than button mashing, crank turning, and major character hopping with characters I had no desire to be. I recommend the first Narnia game over this one any day.
The Good:
Graphics
Sound
The Bad:
Gameplay - button mashing, crank turning, and lever pulling game
Lack of special attacks
Unremarkable playable characters and gameplay
Non-linear stage design gives game a choppy feel to it
Lack of interesting extras/unlockables
