This game is based on the book
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by
Rick Riordan. In the game you play as
Percy who is the son of the god
Poseidon and a human woman. As a result Percy has the
special power
that he can
control water. Poseidon's brother,
Zeus, thinks that Percy
has stolen his
lightning bolt which is the most
powerful weapon in the
universe.
The aim of
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is to prove Percy's innocence by
working
through different levels,
solving problems and meeting other
characters. You also have to
fight enemies and the more enemies you
defeat the stronger your
powers get.
The game
isn't what I expected. I thought you would be able to walk through the
levels freely and explore like you can on some other games but you
can't. The graphics are good but the background looks a little bit
flat. The further you get through the levels the harder it gets and I
did find it a bit difficult. I think it might be better for slightly
older children.
