The Golden Compass follows the screenplay adaptation of the first book in the acclaimed trilogy,
capturing the fantasy adventure set in a parallel world where giant armored bears rule a kingdom,
beautiful witches fly through the frozen skies, and human beings' deepest essence is manifest
as talking animals that remain their faithful companion for life – their daemon.
Players can assume the role of Lyra, a young girl, along with her daemon Pantalaimon (Pan), as
she journeys through the frozen wastes of the North to rescue a friend kidnapped by a
mysterious organization known as The Gobblers and winds up on an epic quest to save not only
her world, but ours as well. Gamers can also take on the character of Iorek Byrnison, a great
armoured polar bear who joins the quest. As Lyra, players use their daemon and collaborate with
in-game characters, collecting special items in order to explore, evade, and deceive their way
through confrontations with the Gobblers, the Magisterium, and the horribly dangerous spy fly to
find her friend. They can also do battle as Iorek with special attacks and a riding mechanic as he
protects Lyra during the journey.
Gamers can unlock secrets and mini-games using a mysterious, truth-telling golden compass
device called an alethiometer. Players can explore 13 vast locations, including all-new
breath-taking environments not seen in the film, on this massive journey of collaboration,
exploration and the eternal struggle between good and evil. [Sega]
