Rise of the Guardians
SCORE: 69
Movie based video games have a really bad image in the video game
industry. For decades Family Friendly Gaming has shown that many of the
movie based video games are actually decent. There are some movie based
games that helped to build that reputation. Rise of the Guardians on the
Nintendo 3DS is one of those movie based video games that earned its
reputation.
I have a general fond memory of the movie Rise of the Guardians. There
are these different mythical creatures working together. There are also
interesting versions of say Jack Frost. The Nintendo 3DS video game
follows the movie and gives us action adventure battles against Pitch
and his minions. We must convert the people to believe in us.
Players can swap between the different mythical creatures in Rise of the
Guardians. There is violent content in this hand held video game. I
spammed the B button quite often while playing Rise of the Guardians. I
failed again and again when I first started playing this video game
after the tutorial. I could not protect citizens at my level.
I learned something about Rise of the Guardians early on. Players must
battle, level up, use skill points, upgrade to be able to complete the
missions. There is violent grind in Rise of the Guardians is sadly very
real. My issue is how boring this is right from the start. I had to take
out all of these similar looking enemies again and again.
The music in Rise of the Guardians is fantastic. There are some fun cut
scenes in Rise of the Guardians as well. The graphics in this hand held
video game are on the plain side. I really do not like video games that
make me fail again and again until I am strong enough to survive. I feel
like Rise of the Guardians is missing some important balance. With so
few areas I guess it had to force players to replay somehow.
