    Sameish gameplay and graphical issues aside, Thor: God of Thunder does have some pretty decent action-adventure combat and animations that give Thor a life and sense of style of his own.

    Just another movie tie-in that takes advantage of the film it is based on. If you expected the next "God of War", stay clear of Blitz's latest. But if you are just looking for some nice hack 'n slash fun, consider this suitable for a rental.

    Unfortunately, while it's energetic fun in parts, there's a series of near-vertical blips where the learning curve should be.

    Thor is a very basic game made only for fans of the film.

    Does ten hours of pressing X repeatedly sound like a good time to you?

    Like the Frankenstein's monster of every straight-up action game you've played in the past few years. It has all the basic parts and it's kind of sewn together properly, but the end result is a broken, half-retarded thing that's a little unsteady on its feet.

    Thor: God of Thunder is a classic, poor tie-in. The game incorporates the gameplay mechanics of most famous products like that, but mixed together in a rough, boring and confusing way. If you are a hardcore fan of any product with the name "Thor", you can give it a chance. Otherwise you can avoid this game without problems.

    Certainly it is not a masterpiece. But anger is useless against this game. I's not extraordinary, but it gets the job done nicely. In myCertainly it is not a masterpiece. But anger is useless against this game. I's not extraordinary, but it gets the job done nicely. In my opinion is a bit boring, but it's still pretty funny.

    Well this was an unnecessary exercise. This actually made me tired of all the 80s throwbacks that are force fed into your faces. Felt like aWell this was an unnecessary exercise. This actually made me tired of all the 80s throwbacks that are force fed into your faces. Felt like a kids movie, and if that was the case, then it is fine, but I think even kids will think this is too corny of a rendition. This wasn't even funny as a parody. Christian Bale as Gorr was a too generic of a villain, seen it before in dozens of movies and was a dime in a dozen. Marvel has become a money hogging scam and trying to milk this franchise as much as possible with nonsensical storylines. We should rate this honestly lower as to give a signal the audience is not dumb, we know what quality is and script writers needs to be more creative. To people who do love it, more power to you, have a nice life.… Full Review »
