Fun:
I have only played 2 levels in this game (well, I am stuck on the Jordan roof as my jumping finger became tired)and it isn't very good. There are no regular save points so when you actually turn off the game whilst in a chapter you have to start it all again! (Am I missing something here?)
The graphics could have been a lot better and I have hardly used the touch screen. The best thing is the relationship between Lyra and Pan - they can take turns in leading or tell each other to wait or follow. You can change Pan into different forms to help Lyra and this I have enjoyed. I guess I need to perserve a little more, but I am frustrated at the repetitive button punching at the moment.

Fun:
This is a really good game and can get addictive because you have to keep going through the levels and you can collect all sorts of things that can help you on your journey. I am ten years old and have enjoyed playing it loads. My brother, who is 6, also loves the game and it is not too difficult for him (with just a bit of help). I recommend this game to children aged 6 and over. We have spent many happy hours playing it.

Not bad
This game is enjoyable but not very stimulating for those little grey cells. The levels are very similar to each other and don't require much thought. Read more
