  1. A surprisingly deep dungeon crawler that makes ample and ingenious use of the DS’s touch-screen. The game plays well, sounds awesome, and looks absolutely stunning on Nintendo’s handheld wonder, and if it were not for a handful of nagging annoyances, it would be getting top honors.
  2. If the movie delivers as well as the DS version of the game did, I’ll be a very happy camper.

    The combat system is diverse enough to keep players interested, but is plagued with nagging issues on the most basic of levels. Control simply needs to be tighter, and the overall speed should have been turned up a few notches.
  4. 40
    No care was taken to immerse players into the world they've lived with since Lewis' tale was first published. And that's a shame.

    I love this game but the worst part is when yo have to get into the last two dungeons but other than that it is awesome.
