Summary
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is the latest children's fantasy book that has become popular enough to warrant its own movie adaptation, and true to form an associated video game is released alongside the big screen launch. The game serves as an extension of the film, offering a brand new character with his own backstory.
You play as Shard, a guardian-in-training, who sees his clan get attacked by the rival faction known as The Pure Ones. You must go and defend your clan with mid-air combat against backdrops and set-pieces from the blockbuster film. Glide and dive around the huge fantasy land around you, and use your wings to gain speed or regulate it.
Alongside the accessible flight mechanics, you get to experience a lot of combat against enemy owls, which requires precision button presses and the use of environmental elements to get the upper hand. With enemies defeated, you can collect in-game currency that can be used to unlock new armour and equipment for Shard – which is handy because the enemies get tougher as you progress.
For fans and those curious about the world of Ga'Hoole and the story of the owls that live in it, this video game will allow you to relive the best parts of the film and experience the great adventure for yourself.
