The Bottom Line:

"Disappointing"

Amaze entertainment have given us a Narnia DS game that brings a frown to our faces. This game totally wrecks the Narnia experience.

STORY
Obviously the Narnia DS game has the same story line as the movie. Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy are sent away because of the war and Lucy finds a wardrobe that leads to a magical world called Narnia. I could go on forever with this, so if you want to know the story line you might as well see the movie. In this game, there are a lot of different places you didn't see in the movie that you can explore, so there's more to it than the movie story line.

Story: 9/10 (concerning the movie)

GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is as slow as ever. You're in a 3D enviroment and it feels terrible. You use the arrows to move, A to attack and B to block. While your playing the game, you're bassically controlling all the kids. You use the R and L buttons to switch your characters (I prefer Peter, as he has the best attack ability). While you're one of the kids, the others just follow you. The stupid thing is that everywhere you go, enemies are there waiting for you (you'll be lucky if you can escape them) that you have to beat for no reason at all. Everyone runs really slow and you wish you could jump over ledges, but you can't jump, so you have to search the whole valley for a way to get over. It's a button masher with a stick for a weapon (you have to buy a sword from "the squirrel store"). On the touch screen there's a map and some other handy little things you need on your touch screen (this is good!).

Gameplay: 4/10

GRAPHICS
The graphics are pretty neat. There's a starting movie with the wardrobe opening which looks like it was taken from the movie with no glitchy bits! But, I can't say the same for when your playing the game. Sure, it's alright for the DS. Everything is pretty clear. But, I can assure you, you won't be thinking about the graphics in this game. It's too annoying with the gameplay.

Graphics: 8/10

SOUND
You will know when you've been hurt as your character is always making an "Ooof!" The music is so annoying and infuriating and repetitive that it'll make you feel like you want to slam your DS at the ground. The music is very clear and well done for the DS, but it's too clear!

Sound: 6/10

Overall, Narnia DS is a disappointment to all Narnia fans because it is as annoying as ever.

RATING: 5.5
