It's not a bad game, it's just the ending that hold's it back for me. Let me start from the beginning, there are 8 chapter's to this game and only 7 are the story while the 8th is just to finish off all the collections.
The story is really easy, run to point a, kill x amount bad guys, run to b, do action and run back to point c. Nothing hard and nothing too long, I would say around 4-6 hours maybe to finish the story, was not really tracking the time though.
The only problem with the story is the boss fight at the end which uses two mini games that are horrible, you have to move the analog sticks in opposite directions (up down, down up) as fast as you can while the boss chases you. One slip up (which happens alot since fingers getting tired/sore) and you taken back to the beginning, which means doing both games again (Easy way to get around this check out the tip section on my last point).
Why you put this in? it's bad enough doing it once but twice is taking it overboard and adding the startover if you fail was a stupid idea. This what held the game back from getting a higherscore.
Anyway enough with the ranting
The collections are very as well, just take time running around to get them. There are some bugs in the game but nothing too major to stop the game from being played. Graphics are ok, story is meh could be better but I don't expect much from a game based on a film that was based on a book. Overall I give it a 6.5 and would recommend it to anyone wanting achievement's. Just expect to spend some a few hours getting them
