    Nothing new here, except the story which if you are a fan of the mythos, you will love. Gameplay as expected is similar to God of war/Darksiders/Devil may cry. Voice acting was very good and seems to have gotten most of the voice talent to reprise roles here. Overall an okay game, nothing bad to say, but nothing great either.

    The game successfully does what it offers. It alows you to be Thor and allows you to do nearly anything he has ever done in the movies or in the cartoons. Gameplay is like God Of War but the game is generally weak but still fun if you find it at low price and if you like Thor, just get it.

    This hack n' slash is better than its reputation. It feels like a cheap version of "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed". The gameplay is fine, but it's bogged down by stiff controls, boring enemies and sluggish boss fights. Graphically, it's just OK despite being powered by the Unreal Engine. The combat is similar to "God of War". You'll earn points which can be used to upgrade attack movesThis hack n' slash is better than its reputation. It feels like a cheap version of "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed". The gameplay is fine, but it's bogged down by stiff controls, boring enemies and sluggish boss fights. Graphically, it's just OK despite being powered by the Unreal Engine. The combat is similar to "God of War". You'll earn points which can be used to upgrade attack moves and abilities. If you explore enough, you'll discover spheres that can extend life and magic bars. Ultimately, this game could've been much better. But it's not the train wreck that critics say it is. Overall, I would rate this with a 5 out of 10.… Expand

    The movie tie-in curse rears its ugly head again, producing what's possibly the worst game of the first half of 2011.

    Thor: God of Thunder is a reminder to players of how licensed titles can be quite lackluster. Bad sound balancing, unresponsive controls, and less than mediocre graphics make for a game that feels like it was released prematurely.

    This just isn't worth bothering with. [Issue#73, p.89]
