  1. There’s not really much more to say about the game other than just ranting about our horrible experience with it. Surely, that would bore you, our respected readers. We’re actually somewhat sorry that you’re being exposed to this game in the first place. Please, look elsewhere for gaming if you want to do yourselves a favor.

    Even the music, as pretty as it is, can't redeem such poor gameplay and atrocious presentation.
  3. The Golden Compass orients itself amongst the worst of licensed games, failing to do anything notable beyond tarnishing the name of the acclaimed novel it's associated with.
  4. The Golden Compass is just another family-friendly film cash-in with a huge number of inexcusable technical glitches.

  1. I am going to tell you the truth now ladies and gentlemen this game is the worst game I have ever played. Its horrible to play and looks like something i'd poo out in the morning. If you choose to play this game you are making a very good decision as you will be thankful about how good other games are. Full Review »
