Most of the Movie to Video Game Titles are bad, i played many in the past but this was horrible. It was the worst game i played on xbox 360 so far.

I don't even know where to start..... Okay let's start with the game play.
This game has two playable character, Lyra and Lorek.
When you play as Lyra, half of the time you spend platform style game play where you jump, climb and glide through confusing and bad designed stages.
Uncontrollable camera and uncomfortable button layout will make things more worse.
I spent hours stuck on couple of the stages when i searched and interacted with every object but wasn't able to move on because the game doesn't register the objective you just completed.
Other half of the time you will deceive people, dodging battle and Use the alethiometer to answer the questions by playing series of boring mini games. collecting orbs, dodging orbs, timing or just plain button matching mini game. there are no challenges what so ever i don't even think i failed once.

Most fun you will have in this game is when you play as Lorek the bear. Where you beat on weak enemys or bosses by smashing on x button as you curse at this game and hoping you will never play as Lyra again.

Graphics are last gen on HD. Animations and Character designs are terrible, only good thing i saw was reflections on the mirrors and the puddles.
Low Quality from film cut scenes and horrible voice over will make you lose interest in the story, if you haven't seen the film, it will even make you not want to watch the movie.

This game is the example of how the game is not made. Developers failed at everything it's almost like they did not want you to have fun at all.
I will avoid this game even you're only playing for achievements, 10-15 hours you will spend on this game to get 1000 is not worse it.
