Ships Ahoy - The Chronicles of Narnia

The Wardrobe Awaits -- Explore and Battle in an Epic Video Game Adventure to Free the Land of Narnia is the press release announcing that The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe has shipped worldwide. Here's a bit:
The quest to save the enchanted land of Narnia has begun. Buena Vista Games, Inc. (BVG), the interactive entertainment arm of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), brings gamers and Narnia fans an unforgettable adventure with video games 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 theaters December 9. The video games are now available at retail outlets worldwide for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system, Xbox(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube(TM), Nintendo DS(TM), Game Boy(R) Advance system and PC, Buena Vista Games announced today. 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."

This game is supposed to have co-op play, but is it network co-op or same screen or both? Anyone know for sure?

I've read all 7 and I am 19... I read them probably when I was 11 or so.

wow, check out the set of trailers, looks good especially the Epic Battle; they're using a lot of techniques and software that were used in LotR including "Massive", the CG utility that generates emergent behavior based on scripts. Cool if they could import the film's models into the game.

I read this book when I was a youngster. It was a great book. I still find myself thumbing through it everynow and then. I think you might have to be in your thirties to be familiar with the story. I hope the game and subsequent movie do the book justice.

Everytime I see this name I find myself let down by the name Narnia instead of Riddick. Oh well.
