German title:
Die Chroniken Von Narnia: Der König Von Narnia
Third Person "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is about four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie who – because of the air-raids on wartime London – are sent to the country to live with the stuffy Professor Kirke. Bored, and unable to go outside due to the rain, they play hide-and-seek indoors where the youngest, Lucy, discovers an old closet that is a secret passage to Narnia, a country frozen in eternal winter by the evil White Witch. The icy spell can only be broken by four siblings who, along with the aide of the mighty lion Aslan - the true ruler of Narnia - must now work together to free Narnia from the White Witch. "The game, and every chapter, begins with a clip from the film. Not only are the film clips absolutely stunning, but the film to animation transitions are the best ever, in any video game. Film scenes morph so smoothly and seamlessly into animation that you are actually shocked to discover that you now have control of the characters. "The wardrobe is actually broken into fourteen different sections, each of which represents a different chapter of the game...The children are each controlled separately and it is usually the player’s choice whom to use and when...There are also times when a specific child must be used as they each have their own special abilities. "Much of what was left to the imagination in the book is now visualized in both the game and movie, but why must such a premium be accorded to fighting? As the game progresses, the battles become more fierce and complicated and seem to be at odds with the tone of both the book and movie...There seems to be this perverse mentality in the video game industry that children are dunderheads who crave violence and that a game without fighting will not sell. "Voice-overs were performed by the cast members which is a plus, but there are occasionally some horrible camera angles - and the player has no control over the camera – that make it difficult to complete areas...there are no save points, instead you are offered the opportunity to save when you complete a chapter. Within each chapter though there are much-needed check-points so that you don’t always have to replay the entire sections when your character loses a life...check-points are only temporary and will be lost if you turn off the game before reaching a chapter’s end and saving. "...The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is recommended for fans of the movie and book. But...I don’t think you can fully appreciate the game without experiencing it in its other incarnations."
