Customer Reviews

Could have been much better
I have only played 2 levels in this game (well, I am stuck on the Jordan roof as my jumping finger became tired)and it isn't very good. There are no regular save points so when you actually turn off the game whilst in a chapter you have to start it all again! (Am I missing something here?)
The graphics could have been a lot better and I have hardly used the touch screen. The best thing is the relationship between Lyra and Pan - they can take turns in leading or tell each other to wait or follow. You can change Pan into different forms to help Lyra and this I have enjoyed. I guess I need to perserve a little more, but I am frustrated at the repetitive button punching at the moment.

not so golden!
my daughter bought this game with x-mas money, this is what she wants to say, over to you maisie!!!!

i am on chapter three and i can't seem to get any further i am ten years old and i would recommend you to be older to play this game.My seventeen year old brother is very good at gaming, but at times he was scratching his head.Its really boring because all you can do is jump and duck.I am trading it in for something more entertaining.On the first day i was bored out of my head!!! hope this is some help to you!

Fab game
This is a really good game and can get addictive because you have to keep going through the levels and you can collect all sorts of things that can help you on your journey. I am ten years old and have enjoyed playing it loads. My brother, who is 6, also loves the game and it is not too difficult for him (with just a bit of help). I recommend this game to children aged 6 and over. We have spent many happy hours playing it.
