Customer Reviews

“This game is very nice but I don't think it's worth $9.99. $7.99 would be a better price. The games graphics are very nice and it is very fun. It is similar to Star Wars force unleashed. 5 stars from me once the price is lowered.”

“I'm giving it five stars because you can immediately see how much work Gameloft put into making this game. The graphics and animation are amazing, and the combat is smooth and feels great. I first want to get the cons out of the way because then I get to go on and on about the good parts! First off, the camera really does need work. There is no way to adjust the camera on your own, and the camera does not turn around if you decide to backtrack to pick up a missed hidden item. This isn't a HUGE deal, considering you really have to work hard to fall off an edge (and many times you can't). Also, the cinematics look a little lame. All they consist of is three or four slides fading in and out that sometimes don't have anything to do with the narration. That brings me to a serious strength in this game. The narration is top notch, and is recorded by one of the actors from the actual movie. This saves the cinematics from crashing and burning. As for gameplay, there is hardly a moment where the game lags. That's surprising, because this game has some of the best graphics I've seen on the system. I would even venture far enough to say that these actually are the best. I've played Asphalt 5, and these look even better. The buttons are easy to follow, and there's not too many on the screen at once. All the context-sensitive buttons appear only when an action is needed to progress. The jungle is vast, and crawling with life. Not every animal is out to kill you either, with some only attacking if you attack them. Or, you can just sit back and watch animals interact with each other. I've walked into several clearings and seen a hunt in progress. Since the game just came out today, I'm obviously not too far into it. However, I can say that this is one of the best games I purchased. Don't let the $9.99 price tag fool you. This game is well worth your time and money. Give it a shot.”
