Thor: God of Thunder is a relatively uninspired PlayStation 3 game that exists, obviously, as a tie-in with the summer blockbuster movie Thor. Whereas the movie is a humorous, exciting experience, the game is a button-mashing, linear action title that...

Like the character it's based on, this middling movie adaptation is all brawn and no brains. Lackluster combat, uninspired level design, and an overlong campaign mean this is one of 2011's more un-Thor-tunate releases.It seems weird to start a review w...
Thor's wide range of powers adds some muchneeded life to the combat.
Sluggish controls, poor graphics, inconsistent battle physics, repetitive gameplay, a terrible camera, and numerous bugs all hinder the experience; cheap enemy A.I. and horridly high difficulty makes things all the worse; even the voice acting and cutscenes are disappointingly uninspired.

Thor: God of Thunder is an easy contender for “Worst Game of 2011,” if not the outright winner even though it is only May. The game’s graphics are awful, the game is plagued with slowdown, controls are unresponsive and there are two back to back bugs i...

Let's face it, movie tie-in games never stand much of a chance of actually being good. Nonetheless, when I was told that the new Thor movie was getting not one, but three separate games by three separate developers across three separate consoles, I had...
