I remember reading the book back in 4th grade, and just recently I saw the movie, and got the video game for DS. It came out for several other systems as well, but I only got the DS version. It's all a bit of nostalgia for me. I think the game is kinda cool. What do you think?

I heard it was pretty good. Had a lot of the elements that made "LEGO Star Wars" surprisingly good and succesful.

[Enoch]

I never played Lego Starwars, although I herd it didn't gross as much money as it should have. Although seeing as Narnia is a name that people should be a little more compelled to play it. I think it will will earn a decnt amount of money. Hopefully! :o

[Someone Else]

Really? That's a shame, and it's sort of suprising since there are still playable demos for LEGO StarWars available for the PS2 and Xbox in stores (here in the U.S.) like Target, Media Play, and Circuit City (I think).

How much DID LEGO StarWars gross?

[Enoch]

I'm not sure, I herd it from a freind. for all I know, he may even be wrong.

But I think that Chronicles of Narnia is a game that many people will go for. It's a classic.

[Golden Djinn13]

Lego Star Wars was a pretty good game, I played the demo (like WD said) they are still around, so I thought the game did pretty good. They even gave it high ratings on G4.

[Mars Djinni]

I tried Lego Star Wars on GBA, and I thought it was quite good. I've read the reviews for Narnia and I think I wanna try it.

[TheEnglishman]

I'd be surprised if this was successful. Nearly all movie tie-ins are just around to make money. I would like it if they concentrated on making it enjoyable though.

[Someone Else]

Gamespot gave it a 6.9/10... I generally won't buy a game unless it gets a 7.0/10 :o But I guess it's close enough. I'll download the playable demo sometime to see if it's really that great.

(LEGO Star Wars got an 7.6/10)

Lego Star Wars is awseome except for one thing:
Button mashing.

[Someone Else]

Downloaded + played the demo.

Meh, LEGO Star Wars is better. If you think LEGO Star Wars had a lot of button mashing... just wait 'till you play this game. At least LEGO Star Wars had some THOUGHT in the battle moves. e.g., you can unleash powerful "Combo" moves if you chain your Normal Attacks just right. But in this game, you just get two very narrowed-down attacks: Normal Attack and Power Attack. In LEGO Star Wars, you get (for the lightsaber characters) Jump Attack, Normal Attack/Combo Attack, and Double Jump Attack. Each attack has it's moments where it's best. Double Jump Attack is best for taking out alot of enemies in one particular range; but you shouldn't use it TOO much, because when you jump, you leave yourself pretty open to attacks. Jump attack is good on flying/fast-moving baddies. Normal Attacks work, well, normally. Combos are good for powerful bad guys, and can also do pretty well when you're surrounded.

This game is pretty much just a regular hack 'n slash game. If you like button mashing and hacking 'n slashing, then you'd probably like it.

[Golden Djinn13]

It doesn't sound that bad, and since I read the books, i'll still try it out.

Lego Star Wars, on the other hand was really good (imo). I like how it went through 4 star wars movies, without making each one too long, but long enough to understand what happened in each movie.


My 1000th post :P . I will remember this day!!!!!!

[Someone Else]

My only complaint about LEGO Star Wars is that Darth Vader has the same animations as Jedi Anakin. XB Anakin's animations were just so cool and athletic... it just looks weird seeing Darth Vader do so many flips when he does his jump attack. XD

Anyway, I'm not saying that this game is bad, I had fun when I was playing the demo. But I still probably won't buy the game. The battles aren't as fun as LEGO Star Wars' battles, although they are more complex. Basically, what you do to win battles in this game is to strike at the baddies when they're off-guard to throw them off balance, and then press one of the attack buttons like there's no tomorrow until they collapse. XP

[Golden Djinn13]

I don't even think Vader did flips in the movies. XD

Star Wars Battlefront 2 > Lego Star Wars

A clear victory out of the two.

[Someone Else]

Hell, Vader didn't even RUN in the movies, but Darth Vader is SLIGHTLY faster than a lot of the characters.

There is more than 2 basic attacks for Narnia. You have the normal and powerful attacks, and blocking ofcoarse, but then you also have attacks that you learn as well. Some attacks that you will never see from simply playing the demo. Not to mention the use of magical commands by Lucy. But aside from that, Edmund, Peter, and Susan can learn other attacks, and not to mention the power up commands that they eventualy gain. I also enjoy the feature for in-combat switching/ being able to switch your character while during gameplay. It allows for a more extensive Gameplay. People that I have talked to compare it to LOTR except it allows for the in-game switching feature.

I learned in life that you should never let some critic's rating persuade you into not playing a particular game or watch a particular movie. I judge for myself.

BTW Wd, how far did you get in the Narnia Demo?

[Someone Else]

I beat it. I didn't get all the collectibles, but I beat it.

Yeah, you get new skills and such, but I never learned how to use them! They never tell you what button it goes to.

By the way, you can switch characters at any time in LEGO Star Wars too. Although you have to face the target character and then press the "Tag" button.

[Enoch]

Sweet! I should probobly play the Lego Starwars Game at some point because people said it rocked! but still, I think I like Narnia better then LOTR.... possibly Two Towers Video game. I'd say it was even with Return of the King and Fellowship. And Of coarse I'm still talking about the DS Version OF Narnia.

[TheEnglishman]

I've played a demo of Lego Star Wars and I thought it was pretty good. I was pretty surprised when I first heard about it. I thought it was a joke!

[Someone Else]

I haven't tried playing Narnia with my sister yet. Should probably try it sometime soon.

LEGO StarWars is so crazy fun when you have a friend along. It's pretty Multi-player friendly, since when you die you just respawn automatically. It's very forgiving when it comes to player death.

[Enoch]

That's good! Because I have a tendency to die in games. I don'
t get along with games that make me start over. Narnia is sorta the same way, except it takes you to where you first entered the stage. But the stages aren't that big in that respect.

[Gardna]

This reminds me of HP4 game...
It might be fun with a friend
