We all know that Disney is famous for its magical land and characters along with its great motion pictures but for quiet some time now Disney has also been becoming even more popular with its licensed game releases. We all know that each individual has their own preferences with the way material or stories are told that’s why some individuals would rather read a book instead of see a movie and some even like to do both. With this being said why not play the storyline out in a game and this ideal also proved to be a positive aspect for the gaming industry and adding another addition to its library with the recently released version of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Most would also think that making a good movie/story into a game would only make it better and more exciting, well that isn’t always the case and I have to say that despite the game being pretty good it wasn’t by no means at the top of the list and didn’t seem to offer much excitement despite its sound foundation.
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian a recently released RPG for the Xbox 360 is set up to continue C.S. Lewis second children’s tale book. The game brings together the 1300 year gap in Narnia time that had passed quiet well overall as you will discover. The overall quest of Chronicles of Narnia is to restore Prince Caspian back to his rightful throne. Over the years the Pevensie children have left Narnia since its takeover by the Telmarines and the evil King Miraz. During the takeover of Narnia Prince Caspian was forced into hiding so Miraz gained complete control of the throne.
The adventure is set up and divided into six different stages in which you can control up to twenty different characters all in an attempt to return Prince Caspian to his throne and restore the Narnia and its people back to its previous Golden Age. The battles you will encounter are actually pretty neat with variety ranging from castles to caves, through forests, ruins, etc. The moments of battle in Chronicles of Narnia whether you are playing as an individual character or a creature are actually fun for any age. The combat variety seemed to be lacking despite its variety in some other areas with I found a little odd since the game is made up mostly of battling. Another area of lacking interest was that no upgrades or enhancements are available.
