While this game is certainly nothing extremely special compared to a lot of other games, it is a fairly enjoyable movie tie-in adventure game.
It's main problem is that it isn't very challenging. It only took me about four hours to complete it, and I'm not even a "gamer" or anything. The most I've ever played is Battle of Middle-Earth on the computer.
The other problem it has is that you can't control the camera. This means that when you need to see something from a different angle so you don't fall off or something, you can't. You get used to it after a while, and most of the time the camera angle isn't too bad, but it does get frustrating sometimes.
The story of the game is a bit confusing. I've read the book and everything, so it wasn't confusing to me. But to anyone who hasn't read the book won't know what the actual plot is. They might have a small idea of what things are, but nothing is explained too deeply. Which is weird, considering this is based on a book.
This was enjoyable, however, despite it's flaws. It's fast paced and the levels aren't too hard to beat for anyone who just wants to get introduced to the gaming world. The movie should be a lot better than this, but still, this was a great start to what should be a successful franchise of films and games.
