5.0 out of 5 stars Fight wolves, orgres, and more to free Narnia!, November 26, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Disney's the Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (CD-ROM)

As I can't wait to see the CoN movie to come out, I immediately got Narnia the computer game when I saw it in the store. In the game, you can play as all four of the children during most of the levels. Each of them has their own special powers and abilities: Peter's strength lies in his sword, as does Edmund's, Susan can shoot arrows and use panpipes to find hidden items, and Lucy heals as well as tames beasts. The children can also team up together to perform special moves. Throughout the game, you unlock new special abilities for them, spending the coins you'll collect during each level.

There are 15 levels in the Narnia computer game. Each level is broken up into different `sections' or Checkpoints, where the game auto saves where you are. You can't actually save your game in the middle- only after you've finished a level- but if you die at any time during that level, you go back to the last checkpoint (as apposed to starting the level all over again).

During your level, you'll gather money to spend, points to unlock abilities, shields and statues, arrows for Susan to shoot, hearts for health. Not only do our heroes fight, but they also have to figure out things like how to get over an icy pond without falling in. Many times they have to work together to kill an especially difficult enemy. There's also some bonus stuff you unlock for each level you complete.

Overall, Narnia was great fun to play. There are two difficulty levels, Normal and Hard. On Normal, the game is not especially difficult, but it also is not easy- a good balance. Narnia has a cool 2-player feature that lets two people play the game at the same time, making it twice the fun. The graphics are really good and there are some nice clips from the movie itself. I feel it was a great buy and recommend it to anyone who is looking forward to the Narnia movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can Narnia Really Run?, January 3, 2006

Many PC games, today, are adapted from console games instead of being built from the ground up with a computer engine.

Many PC games, especially now, won't run because of security programs (anti-copying devices) conflicting with the PC owners drivers. Basically what that means is that the game may or may not run depending on whether or not the anti-copy program accounts for your driver, expensive or cheap.

UBI-Soft has a disclaimer on many of their games, including their 10th Anniversary Myst edition, claiming (in fine print found with a magnifying glass) that the game may not run because of the installed security program and driver conflicts.

EA games had to post a work around to their security program for many of their games, last November 2005. EA's anticopying security program basically shut sown the game if a burner program was detected on the hard drive.

There are many people who are having serious trouble with the Narnia game. It is NOT their fault. It is NOT because they are whining. It is NOT because they are doing something wrong, or their computer didn't meet the requirements.

It is because game companies would prefer not to mess with PC CD-ROMS because they can be copied. Game companies are slowly whittling down their PC divisions with the ultimate goal of closing them to concentrate on console games (such as Interplay did with Black Isle Studios on December 19 2005). They are not hiding it. Game companies don't like making PC Games.

Narnia is another "adapted" game. It is not built for PC's. The GOF Potter game is another "adapted" game, and another fiasco.

I believe that PC games are a wonderful, fun way for kids to learn about computers. I don't like what is going on with the game companies, but what I like less is the PC community at large blaming parents... instead of being outraged at what the game manufacturers are getting away with.

When you buy a legal game, and bring it home to play on your legal computer, and it won't play because of a legal CD burner (probably installed by the PC manufacturer) that to me is illegal.

Its so much easier to blame the parents.


The Narnia game is a beautiful game, especially when it plays.

Icksnay on the PC version. The PS2 version is the way to go, but XBOX and GameCube versions will also nicely do...and they will play. Parents won't then be blamed for a situation out of their control.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best game I've ever played!, June 17, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Disney's the Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (CD-ROM)

You get to fight all sorts of creatures. All the characters you play, including Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, can earn these cool special abilities. Peter can pick Susan and Lucy up. Susan can grab Edmund by his hands and swing him around. Susan can grab Lucy by her hand and tow her around. Edmund can also do this. The coolest ability besides healing people is, Peter and Edmund can stick their sticks or swords in the ground and create a line of fire that kills everything in their path. You also can earn moves where you can kill things in one strike. Susan can play Mr. Tumnus' panpipes. Overall, this game is worth the money.
