Customer Reviews

addictive!!
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game, even the parts that I couldn't do, and had to succumb to asking for my husband's help..e.g. controlling the altheometer!!
It is a little different from the film, but who cares? Good entertainment value, andthe mini challenges are fun!
Look forward to the sequel.

A disapointment unless.....
I was really looking forward to playing this game. The first section is OK, fun and fairly easy. But once you get into the game, it would help if you spend a lot of time on thses sort of games. Trying to control Lyra, is a bit hit and miss. Instead of being behind all the time, you get side shots or even worse, she is completely out of view!!!
Buy this game if you spend all your time playing games , otherwise, don't bother. (Adults, don't try and play this with the kids about, they WILL be better than you!!)
Good, but like the film, not that good. (The book is still brilliant though).

Great all round family game.
This game is a excellent addition to any family collection.
There is plenty of action to keep both children and adults entertained, some of the character moves do need a little adult help but are soon mastered.
Overall this is a great alround game.
