Video Game Reviews of The Golden Compass
Customer Review: 0 stars if I could
Summary: 1 Stars
I notice there is only 1 review for this game and it is a 1 star review. I think that is a bit harsh for the game itself. Personally, I knew what I was getting into when I bought it since I had read all the terrible reviews and even about some of the achievement glitches. I figured I could live with that as long as I got to play the game.
I really don't mind the gameplay. Sometimes I need something a bit relaxing and easy. Playing Call of Duty 4 (especially multiplayer) can be stressful. Having said that, this game is riddled with bugs. I have had to post to various forums to get help and the response is that it is a glitch and the suggestion to start over. I am about halfway through the game (which has taken hours) and am stuck at a point that won't let me proceed. We are not talking about not knowing how to play, we are talking an actual glitch preventing gameplay. For that, it gets 0 stars but if you want to risk it, rent it and pray you don't experience the same glitches I did.
Description of The Golden Compass
Welcome to Lyra's world, world bigger and more exciting than you dared imagine, as the deadly perils and amazing splendors of The Golden Compass cross over from the movie screen to your console. Take on the role of Lyra Belacqua as she embarks on an epic journey from London to the realm of the frozen North to rescue her uncle, Lord Asriel and her best friend, Roger. As the voyage progresses, players will switch between Lyra who is accompanied by her daemon Pan, and Iorek, the mighty armored bear, for three entirely unique gameplay experiences ranging from combat and exploration, to solving clever puzzles. The engaging interactive world of The Golden Compass is filled with constant action, excitement and danger, whether escaping devious enemies or battling a menagerie of beasts across the mysterious landscape.ESRB Rated E10 for ages 10 and up
