      1.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU ENJOYED THE MOVIE, DO NOT THINK YOU WILL ENJOY THE GAME TOO...
      Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2007
      Platform For Display: PC
      By tradition, games under license from blockbuster movies fail miserably. There have been notable exceptions of course (JAMES BOND: NIGHTFIRE springs to mind) - but THE GOLDEN COMPASS is far from being such an exception. In fact, of all the movie-based games, this one is very close in taking the cake of the WORST ONE EVER!

      Where should I start: this is a console game atrociously ported to PCs under a rush order to make it to the pre-Christmas market - with all the awkward controls and unpolished graphics to prove it. The camera placement and movement will hinder your view and movement more often than help you. And I thought the NEVERWINTER NIGHTS camera to be bad...

      Graphically one could offer solid arguments this being aimed at children not much older than their 5-year old computers: low resolution, oversimplified models and awful animations. To compound the visual failures, there are a great number of moments when pixel-blinking and unfinished edges totally ruin any gaming immersion.

      I would comment on the gameplay if there was one worth mentioning. What this game consists of is a uncoordinated jumble of ThirdPerson action, simplistic puzzles and balancing mazes. All badly executed.
      There are far better ThirdPerson action-shooters out there. And even if there were none other,I would still NOT be able to recommend this to anyone.

      To those of you who have not already read the book (or watched the movie) the story will prove almost impossible to follow from the game alone.
      Don't even get tempted.

      Even if you are a fun of Philip Pullman's books and loved the movie stay away from this one: it will greatly disappoint you.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Don't know what others are talking about???

      It sounds like some users purchased this game expecting Crysis or something! Let's face it, it's a kid's game just like the movie was (geared toward pre-teens). Looking at the other reviews the only valid complaint is regarding the camera movement (it's completely out of the user's hands). Sometimes the camera follows the character, sometimes it's more of a side view. I wouldn't really say that it's "bad", it's just the design of the game and it's more or less geared towards youngsters. My daugher is just under 7 and she's a couple hours into it, but she only needed my assistance in a couple little spots. I would say that this is an excelent title for a 9 year old. I have to factor in that some of you may have paid quite a bit more than I (it was only a few dollars here on Amazon) so that may have added to your dissapointment, but I've played much worse console ports before. The voice acting is decent, the graphics are good, and I didn't experience and performance issues (and BTW, saying that you have issues and not giving your system specs is pointless; it's like saying stay away from the traffic jam and not saying what road!). It runs great for us on my daughter's fairly low end system at a decent resolution of 1920x1080 (AM3 X3 2.2GHz, HD 5570, Win 7 32bit with 4 GB RAM).

      I should also note that this game has fairly good 360 controller support too if anyone is interested (you have to use the ESC key to go back in menus but everything else works as it should). This game isn't perfect, but the way that some of you are hammering it makes it sound like a total waste. A complaint that I have about it is that it seems as they put you back at the beginning of a level if you quit the game and start it up againg instead of at the very last checkpoint. Another issue I have with this game is that since it's a fairly obscure title, there doesn't seem to be a no-CD crack for it (you have to keep the DVD in to play). Don't be too deterred by all the negetive comments, it's not as bad as they make it out to be. It's just not geared toward teens or adults.

      1.0 out of 5 stars A sysrem crasher!
      Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2008
      Platform For Display: PC
      I bought this game for my grandchildren. They had seen the movie, and this looked perfect for them. I loaded the software with no problem. I started the game and played it for a few minutes to test it, but suddenly my screen froze. I could not shut my PC down, I could not restore it to an earlier state, NOTHING!It was dead in the water! I had to call tech support, which took an hour. The rep advised me to re-load the operating system (Windows XP) with his help. But finally, he managed to have me restore to an earlier state with some manual commands.
      This was an expensive game, and an elaborate one. I would have expected the manufacturer to have tested it thoroughly before releasing it. It caused me a lot of grief and expense. And, my grandchildren never did get to play it!

      Do NOT buy this game, you could be sorry.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Great game, direct storyline, challenging, great graphics
      Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2009
      Platform For Display: PC
      This is definitely one of the better video games that comes out based on a movie. The graphics are great, gameplay is swift and never gets boring, and the storyline follows the book and not the movie (yay!)

      You are a girl named Lyra who lives in another world and goes on adventures in the north to save children kidnapped by the "Gobblers"

      You also get to play as Iorek Byrnison, an enourmous armored bear, which adds some action to the game.

      Don't litsen to the people that say it crashes systems; as long as your system meets the requirements, you should be fine and cutscenes should play at normal speed.

      Maybe they forgot to look at the system requirements before installing the game, or maybe some Amazon users have a hard time reading.

      I highly reccomend this game for any child over 12, since it does have a lot of violence, and moments can be scary (it's in the upper range of E10+, almost T).
