Being developed in conjunction with the movie for six different platforms, The Golden Compass certainly has a lot of obstacles to overcome straight out of the gate.
Sega's announcement at their event in San Francisco yesterday seemed more about the movie than the impending game. Sure, they talked about the platforms it's coming (all of them) and the fact that they have full access to the movie's props and lots of images of the actors, but the game just wasn't grabbing my atetntion.
In it you play through 11 levels, two of which are unique to the book and the game, as the movie's leading girl, a shapeshifting manimal and a gi-normous polar bear.
All but the DS version is being developed by Shiny Entertainment, with the DS version being made by Artificial Mind and Movement.
Despite the fact the fact that the people showing the game to the press used the phrase "very excited" at least three times during the very short presentation, I couldn't help but be most decidedly not very excited about its prospects.
