Digital Chumps - Legend of Guardians is about a group of owls that keep the peace, but another group of owls, who call themselves the Pure Ones, are intent on disrupting that. Having not seen the movie I don't know closely the game follows the film, but for what it's worth, the story within the game is pretty competent. In the game, players take the role of Shard, an owl who lives in Ga'Hoole with the rest of the Guardians. Shard is young, but skilled, something gets from his father who was also a skilled owl. With the Pure Ones breaking the peace, Shard and his friends must work together to stop them.
Console Monster: "On receiving the movie tie-in of the visually stupendous avian adventure, Legend of the Guardians, I set out with a degree of trepidation and conflicting expectations, into the skies. I'd been captivated by the movie trailers, would the game be able to attain the same talon grasp over my attentions? On first impressions, I'm afraid, sadly not."
Set for release later this month, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole - The Videogame is an Action-Flight game set in an epic fantasy world based on the bestselling book series by author Kathryn Lasky, with an action-packed storyline that parallels the plot of the upcoming 3D fantasy family adventure film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.
TGH Writes: "Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga’Hoole based on the movie which is in turn based on the first of three books by Kathryn Lasky. The movie is directed by Zack Snyder, so in hopes to promote the movie and create additional sales they decided to release an adventure game across all platforms (excluding PSP) that could display the adventurous nature of the books and the movie to gamers. We decide to see if this title takes flight or does it need its wings clipped."
