Massive Chronicles of Narnia Preview

[Nick]

Those of you who ever read my infrequent blog (here ) will know that I was up in Knutsford a while ago and I can now reveal why.

I was visiting Traveller's Tales, the bods behind Lego Star Wars and taking a look at their latest project, a film tie-in with Disney's upcoming Chronicles of Narnia.

They gave me so much inof and stuff to take away that I've had to split it up just to cram it all in.

So check out the First Look with the developers here.

After that has whet your appetite, check out the hands on playtest I had of the pre-alpha code here.

Once you've done that, have a look at some more screens here.

And finally, have a look at the faces behind the game in a full Biog of the Traveller's Tales, Chronicles of Narnia team over here.

interested to hear what you think of it tho....

Looked at the pictures and have to say they look awesome, but graphics and cgi doesn't make a game...

gut intstinct says? good based on lego star wars which was ace (but massively too easy for older gamers i.e not kids), but likely again setup for kids?...

I'd say that on the whole, the game is aimed at 10 -12 year olds.... that said, the way you have to use ALL the characters to progress means some of the puzzles are quite challenging.

I can see the drop-in/drop-out feature being used for parents to help their kids out.

There are also some arcade sections, those these weren't playable and were still in very rough blocking out form that will add a nice change of tempo.

I reckon this'll be a bit tougher than LSW, but not hugely so.
