There’s a World Map in the Media section, on the second page of screen shots that looks interesting. Small scale, though.
thats awesome!they’ve done up the graphics and there some new photo’s too!awesome.just awesome.
and yes,the world map DOES look interesting!its the same but more “cracked”.
i can see new Zealand!yay!
I did notice that they have changed Iofur Raknison’s name to Ragnar something-or-other, which gave me a nasty turn at first. On the other hand, from a movie perspective it makes sense…filmgoers who haven’t obsessively read the books eight zillion times (like most of us) would have a much harder time with two such similar names (Iorek Byrnison and Iofur Raknison probably sound almost identical spoken aloud in a film). I could see people scratching their heads and going, “okay, now whos’ who now?”
And really, with everything it looks like they have got right, it seems silly to quibble over the name change for a non-central character. 🙂

The sad thing is i know i’ll probabbly end up buying this…
Who’s Ragnar?
the armored bear, the one that wears gold leaf for the fight with iorik………
Wow, it looks promising! ^^ Who knows, I might get it for my Wii.
No that’s Iofur…
thats the one!!!!!!!!
Diolhain, they changed Iofur’s name to Ragnar so they don’t confuse the audience. I like Iofur better, but Ragnar does sound more evil. MUHAHAAH!
The bear’s fur looks a lot better, but it might be just because it is a small picture. I hope not. The fur was terrible before on Iorek and the wolves.
your right D_L, rangnar does sound move evil,but one things for sure(as ive already said)his armor does look better that way more “evil” ’cause if they followed the book,with lofur all gold and elegant the audience might think he’s actually a good king.with his new armor he looks pretty dark. ^x^
I’m testing this to see if it will let me post. The other times I tried it didn’t work for some reason… >_
Iofur sounds much better… if the audience doesn’t pay attention they shouldn’t be watching the film…
*explodes*
The pictures look pretty ok now actually, might just be because of the smallness though.
It’d be good if they did some stuff that showed you what the game was actually like. How to control the characters, stuff you have to do etc.
Still not impressed with the games looks, some of the environments are quite nice but models and textures look a bit poor. Perhaps we are looking at DS or PSP versions, but usually you use the best looking versions in promotional images!
It might look a lot better moving tho.
