Fun:
THOR: GOD OF THUNDER for Wii is fun, fast paced, good looking and sounding and has controls that work well. What more could you want? Sometimes movie games don't turn out so great but THOR really shines on the Wii. It's a 3rd person action adventure brawler that has three types of game play: exploring/fighting, arcade style flying rail-shooting and EPIC boss battles that end in snazzy quicktime events that actually deliver the goods. You will play as THOR (obviously) and during the game you will find tons of unlockables, the coolest of which are different costumes that give the God of Thunder a look that suits you. The combat is pretty much non-stop and requires some strategy. You can't just mash buttons and expect to get through all the enemies since certain enemies require different types of attacks (wind, electrical) to be defeated. As you smash everything in sight with your hammer you will also occasionally have to dismantle equipment and perform other tasks but they never become cumbersom or tedious and since you are constantly surrounded by enimies you will never become bored. Fighting in this game is FUN. The flying levels are extremely cool (think SIN AND PUNISHMENT) and kept things varied and interesting. The boss battles are truly epic (Satur and Mangog in particular) and you really have to fight with them and be quick to damage them, but once their health meter gets down the real fun starts. This game has some of the best use of quicktime finishing moves I've seen. When you are told to press a button or make a motion, the control actually responds acurately. There wasn't a single time when I was left saying "But I DID press the A button" and I never had to start something over because of an unresponsive control scheme. Everything about the controls of this game works perfectly and comfortably and it all feels very natural.
This is a quality affair all the way through. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston as Thor and Loki respectively do a good job with the voice work and whoever did Odin pulled off a decent impression of Anthony Hopkins. The graphics are vibrant, bursting with color and quite striking. Some cut scenes are done in a still photo comic book style while others are fully animated and somehow it all comes together cohesively. There ARE some frame rate issues but nothing so distracting that it will take away from your enjoyment of the game. The orchestral music score is huge and swells to massive proportions during climactic boss fights. The environments are interesting and fun, whether you are floating down rushing water on top of an iceburg battling seemingly endless enemies, or flying through the air shooting everything that comes your way, or putting out blazing fires with your cyclone move, from Asgard to Midgard it all looks pretty impressive (yes, Thor has some battles on earth and the timid cops are hilarious).
The game is a success as much for what it leaves out as what it includes. THERE ARE NO tedious precision platforming levels that movie game designers seem to always fall back on and there are no puzzles (environmental or otherwise) to bring the action to a screeching halt. This game is all action all the time and it manages to stay fun. With all the norse rune symbols floating about I was really fearful that I would at some point be spinning some obscure dial trying to line up cryptic Norse alphabets but NO and THANK GOD!
The game is short. The first time I played it through it took about six hours from start to finish (yep, I enjoyed it enough that I played it straight through). My second play through (with the difficulty level up but all my character upgrades intact) took only three hours. I'm fine with that but if you are looking for a long game, this one will disapoint you. There is no option for any sort of multiplayer game either and no online play. Too bad.
There are however a TON of unlockables and some of them are worth getting. There is an entire episode of the animated AVENGERS series (featuring Thor and Loki naturally) as well as other goodies. There is also a training mode. As you complete each level it stays open and you can go to the "WorldTree" menu and play your favorite levels over any time you like (and find those treasures you missed the first time out). The game also has a very slick and unobtrusive save feature and you will never have to replay a huge chunk of the level if you fail. The game has a lot of violence of the very fantastical sort and is probably appropriate for all but the very youngest of kids.
This one is light years ahead of some of the other Marvel comics movie Wii games (the dreadful SPIDERMAN 3 and WOLVERINE with it's somewhat broken controls come to mind) and I'm really surprised at how well this turned out.
Hats off to SEGA/RedFly studios for putting together a game that can hold it's own with the best stuff out there for the Wii. I was surprised by the quality of this game and I love it!

Fun:
This game was fun. It took about 10hrs to beat on Normal difficulty, and I have not replayed it on the other difficulties yet. It's format is very much like the Force Unleashed games. You gain points for every combo and hit and with those points you can upgrade Thor's moves, health and power bars. You can find "ruins" in each level and combine these ruins to give a customized playing experience (equal to Force Unleashed Light saber crystals) If you die you just start right back at the last checkpoint. I really like the bosses in this game, they are what made the game unique. Once you beat a difficulty level you can restart with all of your upgrades on the next difficulty level which should give it some replay value. Although I have not seen the Movie yet I know that the game does not follow the movie story line which I like. I would have given it 5/5 if it wasn't for the controls. They want you to feel like you are swinging his hammer around but there is just too much swinging. The motion controls are very responsive unlike most other games like this.

Fun:
The Best THOR version on any console!
This is a GREAT comic book character, turned into a movie, and then a tie-in-game to boot. It is the best one out of any of the console releases. This particular version of THOR was made by a different developer and it is such a shame PS3 and XBOX 360 didn't use this developers. I am not going to go too much into the game details because it has already been said in previous reviews, but essentially this game is a hack and slash action/adventure game. It is very similar to God of War, Ghostrider, and Resident Evil. The player controls THOR, battles an onslaught of enemies, progresses, and then has a boss battle. It is nothing groundbreaking, but it works well here. It didn't work as well on the PS3/XBOX 360 versions. The player also gets to do some cool moves with the Wii controller that didn't bother me and controls are smooth and precise. It can get a bit repetitive at times because there is no variety with the minions that Thor fights. They are all the same character design, but that is to be expected. This game throws in a mixture of everything and makes it work. I wish the Wii visuals were a bit more stunning because I've seen gorgeous games like in Mario Galaxy and Zelda, so the Wii is capable of it. The visuals are fine for me because game play matters more, but it is very PS2-esque and the cinematic scenes are just comic book images with spoken dialogue. Overall, this is a must have title and the price makes it all the more reason to get it. The Wii and Nintendo 3DS versions are the only ones worth getting.

This is an awesome game, graphics aren't perfect but pretty good. I was impressed because most video-game-movies are terrible but this is really good.
