| Customer Reviews: If you're not a Narnia fan, just steer clear, you've seen this before... January 27, 2010 J. Cummings (San Antonio TX) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
As many video gamers can attest, all the way back to the horrible abomination that was E.T for the Atari 2600 (given only a 6 week window to program, it was certain this game would fail, and indeed around 2M are rumored to have been buried in a US desert), movie video games typically aren't very good.
This is also one of those games.
Admittingly, I was looking for some cheaper games at first for my PS3, and I would probably never have bought this game otherwise. Still I wanted to give it a try.
The graphics/cutscenes are the best part of this game, as they should be on a PS3 system. The gameplay pretty much borrows from its predecessors (complete puzzle, having to use a specific character, complete specific tasks, mash this button, etc). You can find many other games (the Ratchet and Clank series, for one) that does what Prince Caspian tries to do much, much better.
Graphics: 9/10 You'll definitely feel like you're in the movie with the graphics, for better or worse
Sound: 7/10 Standard fare for a game of this type; nothing memorable
Gameplay: 2/10 Pretty much the same thing you've seen 1000's of times before
Replay Value: 1/10 Not too many reasons to play this game again after you've beaten it.
So, if you're a huge Prince Caspian/Narnia fan, you will probably love the game. Otherwise, you'd be best to take your $10-15 down to a Game Stop and find a different game.
Narnia PS3 April 7, 2009 Brandon Landis (PA) The game is decent. My wife really enjoys it and plays a lot. For me it's just decent. The two-player is a defenite perk and we often play together. My opinion personally probably isn't the best to go by because I tend to be a sports game buff, but we enjoy playing together. If you are a fan of the Narnia series, or this type of game, you'll probably love it!
Great gift January 27, 2009 Fabiana Staudinger (Brazil) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My nephews loved the game. I'm hoping that it will keep them busy for a few months!!!
Can be a two player game - awesome! October 12, 2008 Merry Tyme (Texas, USA) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have two stepboys, ages 11 and 12. They CONSTANTLY fight. I only have them every other weekend. It is a struggle to find a game they will both like. Typically, I end up getting two different games. With this game, you can have two players. My boys played this game for about 45 minutes together.... AS IN WORKING TOGETHER... One doing the mission, one protecting the other. WOW!! Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that would happen! This game allows you to play multiple characters and you HAVE to in order to accomplish certain missions. I enjoyed watching the boys play and played some myself. I think this is a good game for the $30 I payed for it.
