The Golden Compass is an epic action adventure game that immerses you in the magical parallel world of the $150 million budgeted film from New Line Cinema, the studio behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy. With its AAA cast, including Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig (the new James Bond), the story follows Lyra’s heroic journey from the safety of her home to the dangerous wonders of the North. Armed only with a truth-telling compass, and accompanied by a giant armored polar bear named Iorek, the game takes you on a journey of adventure, exploration, collaboration and discovery.

The game golden compass was somewhat accurate to the movie, yet I felt the graphics could have been a little better. Good game for die hard golden compass fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars SO WORTHLESS December 16, 2008

Why do they have to make a videogame for every movie out there. They are all pretty much the same. Same concept, same graphics, same end result. Choppy graphics and sound! I couldn't even be bothered to play it all the way through. The one thing this game could have done to improve itself would be to include a sample pack of painkillers in the sleeve. H8 this game so much. Not even a good rental. . .

I liked playing through this game. I loved the movie and book and though this bargain game would be amusing too. It was until it slammed me into a dead end. I wish you well if you pick this up and enjoy it until you can't get any farther.

The game is very nice, but unfortunately it can not manage different profiles. The story is very similar than the original movie, and during the game, short parts of movie appear.
