Gamers can now explore and battle in Buena Vista's action-adventure to help free the land of Narnia.
Posted by John Grothier - PlayStation 2,PC,Game Boy Advance - UK and Europe

The quest to save the enchanted land of Narnia has begun. Buena Vista Games have just released gamers the chance to step through into Narnia. Fans are promised an unforgettable adventure with the game inspired by Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media's epic feature film, 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,' scheduled to release in cinemas December 9th. The video game is now available at retail outlets in PAL territories for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance and PC.

Players are thrust into a mysterious frozen world where they will play as four heroes - Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy Pevensie - to free Narnia from a cold, bleak eternity under the control of the evil White Witch.

"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe video games beautifully translate the film into an epic interactive experience," said Andrew Adamson, film director. "They demonstrate the importance of having a film team that is involved in the production of the video games inspired by that film. Players will truly feel as if they have walked through the wardrobe doors and into Narnia, where they can control the destiny of the characters."

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe game takes the classic story from the renowned book from C.S. Lewis to new heights by bringing the cinematic experience to life in a stunning interactive adventure. Playing as each of the four Pevensie heroes, gamers will battle the White Witch's sinister minions in team-based, action-packed combat. Taking on a variety of creatures, including Minoboars, Cyclopes, Werewolves and Ankleslicers, gamers must utilise each hero's unique combat skills, weaponry and special moves to defeat hoards of enemies, solve elaborate puzzles and advance towards restoring Narnia.

"'The Chronicles of Narnia' is one of The Walt Disney Company's most highly-anticipated ventures this year," said Graham Hopper of Buena Vista Games. "The Narnia video game represents collaboration between film making and game development at its best. The game immerses players into the land of Narnia and lets them experience an extensive adventure beyond the epic film."

The console and PC versions are action-adventure games featuring 15 levels of combat and puzzle solving game play. The game also features seamless integration of film footage with game play and includes extensive use of voice talent from the film. Included are numerous unlockable bonus levels and features that reveal secrets about the making of the game. Also, the console and PC versions include a two-player co-op 'drop in/drop out' feature in which a second player can easily join a single-player game already in progress.

More - as we get it.
