The Golden Compass Game could be summarized in two words: Very Bad The Books were amazing and the film.... erm ...... it was okay... ..... .... ..., but the videogame was a waste of money!

If you liked the book and movie you'll like the game
I rented this game for my ten year old son before we saw the movie. Having seen the movie the game now makes more sense. I myself find the graphics leave something to be desired but my son LOVES the game. It does show clips of the movie between "scenes", which surprised me because I did not know the Wii was capable of that type of graphic. I find the choice of only to playable characters limiting but the addition of Lyra's Daemon in several forms almost makes up for it. Players need to understand each Daemon's abilities and choose which form to take in order to advance in some areas, which might prove frustrating to younger children or those unfamiliar with the book/movie. All in all it is a fun game.

Great Game. Fun to Play.
There's really nothing to be concerned about with this one. Anyone over 10 can handle the mild violence that entails hitting people with swords, fists, ect. and having them explode in dust. No language or sex. Great fun.
