In certain situations, two of the children can team up to perform special attack moves. Is there a plot? During the war, while living in the safety of a large old country house, the four Londoner Pevensie children discover a magical wardrobe that serves as a portal to another world.
This world of Narnia is caught in a monumental struggle, between the cruel White Witch who wishes to keep the lands frozen in a never-ending winter, and the noble lion king Aslan, who wishes to free his people from the witch's evil domination.
The game's environments are based on scenes from the movie, and characters are voiced by the actors who portray them in the film. Internet Download Manager 6. The Chronicles of Narnia -- the books that is, not this game -- are globally famous as C.
Jack Lewis's allegorical adventures of a number of children in the magical lands of Narnia. Lewis was a member of the Inklings, an Oxford literary group focused on legend, poetry and language; the other particularly famous member, and longtime friend of Lewis's, being one J. Tolkien - a figure of reasonable note in terms of his influence over the computer games industry.
It was Lewis's books that had the more immediate success, of course, what with them being much shorter and aimed much more directly at children.
In fact, it was Lewis's commercial success, amongst several other issues, that is thought to have begun the gradual falling out of Lewis and Tolkien. Regardless of the surroundings, though, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was the first published of the eventual seven novels that form the Chronicles, although in terms of narrative chronology it is the Magician's Nephew that comes first. Echoes of future blockbuster movie chronology perhaps? Next we jump from the mid s to when Disney released a mainstream movie of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Now, I must admit that I've not been able to go see the movie yet - so any comments I make here in no way reflect upon the movie. To answer the original question in this section, 'what is it'? This is a reasonable description, if you think that the story of the Pevensies is one of fighting their way almost every step across Narnia to the Ice Queen's palace, then a massive battle, and the coronation of four shiny-faced Disney children by a tame lion.
The game starts abruptly, with no introductory cut-scene or helpful tutorial, straight in at the deep end trying to get the children out of their burning home in London. So, battling unfamiliar controls and a novel user interface in a dark and smoky environment, you are immediately under time pressure and playing for your characters' lives.
What's more, there was no paper manual to read beforehand to get any idea what's coming - there's just a help file a. What follows is a cut-scene direct from the movie, evacuating the children from London to the Professor's house in the country.
The children then begin an exploration of the house, whilst playing hide-and-seek, and hiding from the house keeper, all of which results in Lucy, the youngest Pevensie, and Edmund, the third youngest, discovering the eponymous Wardrobe and the lands of Narnia beyond. From this point on, the deviations from the 'proper' story really start to kick in. I completely lost Edmund's adventures with the Queen - a bug caused the relevant cut-scene to crash the game every time.
Instead I had to skip the movies that give Edmund and Lucy their motivation for the rest of the story their separate encounters with the Queen and Mr. Tumnus and was dropped into a cooperative sequence with Lucy and Edmund escaping from Narnia through a fight with a horde of wolves.
I don't remember that from the book, and there was no mention of Turkish Delight! What gives? Directors Andrew Adamson. Studio Disney. Subtitles English CC. Released year Age rating Parental guidance.

Critic Reviews. Score distribution:. Positive: 11 out of Mixed: 20 out of Negative: 0 out of The Chronicles of Narnia has completely surpassed all of those to come before it. This is the way all other movie to game adaptations should be done, because there is now a perfect role model out there. All this publication's reviews Read full review. Narnia stands as a near perfect example of how to make a movie-based videogame the right way. Everything from the combat system and level design to the game's visual presentation just scream quality.
Offers up some great gaming thrills, but with a few hiccups. If you take the package as a whole, especially taking into account the amazing cutscenes and environments, it's a game well worth playing. Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny. Rated PG for battle sequences and frightening moments.
Did you know Edit. Trivia Georgie Henley 's reaction to Mr. Tumnus at the lamppost is genuine. She had not seen her castmate James McAvoy in his costume before the scene was filmed, so her screams and reaction were real.
Georgie's first reaction to the snowy world of Narnia is also genuine. She was carried into the set blindfolded to make her first entrance, and her wide-eyed, delighted reactions to it, all are entirely her own. Goofs When the children are running around in the house trying to find a hiding place while playing hide and seek, Lucy's dress changes from purple to brown.
Crazy credits There is a further brief scene with Lucy and the Professor after the initial cast credits. Alternate versions German theatrical version non-digital was cut for violence to secure a "Not under 6" rating. Digital presentations were uncut with a "Not under 12" rating. User reviews 1. Top review. Visually a feast to the eyes, but sometimes the story is unengaging. I thought this a very well done film indeed. I will say the film looks just splendid, especially the scenes in Narnia, with beautiful snowy sets some looked as though it had come from the LOTR trilogy.
However, some of the scenes looked as though they had been computerised, such as the scene with the children and beavers running across the ice.
There were also some attempts to put some humour into the story like the professor's line "ah yes, the weeping one" in reference to Lucy and the beavers especially, but because the director had taken liberties to make the story darker, the humour didn't quite work.
