Advantages: lots of puzzles, decent two-player drop-in/out teamwork, play as 20 different characters

Disadvantages: some areas can hide your characters from time to time which people may find annoying

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is currently in the HMV sale priced at a nicely tagged £10, so I thought to myself; why not give it a try!

I never spotted a review of this online when checking for bargains, and nobody I know even mentioned this to me, so I was taking a bit of a risk - mostly on Wii format!

Needless to say, after spending a couple of hours playing around with it, I found it to be quite impressive. It has a Lego Indiana Jones feel to it, as it uses a drop-in and drop-out Dungeon Siege type of party combat, which is set in your typical fantasy world of Narnia.

There is a lot of great cinematics that combine well with the actual free scrolling game play that could of easily of worked against the game. But credit where credit is due, it interchanged quite well.

As you progress through this 3D environment, which starts off where you need to solve puzzles and do simple quests, later unlocks a number of different characters who will fight by your side in epic battles. All of which you can control at any time and have their own unique ability, actions, commands and attacking pros and cons which are needed to complete certain tasks in order to progress.

At the end of the day, it was a risk worth taking and a gamble that paid off, as The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was more than what I expected.
