The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is based on the novel and movie of the same name, giving the player the opportunity to play as one of 20 different characters, including the four Pevensie children, Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter, as well as Prince Caspian.
The story takes place 1,300 years after the first film, where an evil king called King Miraz has begun to conquer Narnia. Prince Caspian has summoned the four Pevensie siblings to help Narnia and Aslan bring unity back to the land.
Gameplay is similar to the previous one, with hack-n-slash action moving through levels, battling enemies using each character's unique tactics. There are six chapters/levels in all, with puzzles scattered through the levels and special treasure chests that require keys to open, unlocking features such as artwork pictures associated with the film. A level exclusive to the game is also included.
The controls vary depending on the system used: PlayStation 3 uses D-pad, analog sticks, and main buttons, while Wii utilizes the Wii-remote, PC uses mouse and keyboard. Two-player co-op gameplay allows a human player to drop-in during a game.
