Just nabbed this off the marketplace. Seems its a game by Sierra based on a film of the same name. Marvellous.
Anyway, starts up with a bit of CGI then into the game.
Plays a bit like N3 in its style (but not as fluidly). There's basically yourself and some other bloke running around with swords and bow+arrows.
Graphics are average (at best) and the camera is fixed. Some scenary is destructable and you can hit the helmets off the soldiers. You can also summon up a dragon in a kind of Shader Dancer stylee but the whole game feels very much on rails - probably as it's got to tie in with this 'ere movie.
Your partner seems to have the best moves - jumping on the backs of enemies and bear hugging others.
Anyway, "i dont like it". Seems a pretty standard tie in effort and doesnt really do a great deal to utilise the 360's capabilities.
Edit: Oh and the character felt like he was straight out of early versions of FIFA where-by he didnt really go where you wanted him to, or attack at the same time you pressed the buttons. Dunno, felt odd!
