Golden Compass screenshots bring back memories

I recall seeing Philip Pullman's trilogy under many a desk during my stay in elementary and middle school. The first book, The Golden Compass, is finally getting a movie and with it, a game. Sega is in charge, so we know we'll either get a quality product or a rush-job that has poor ... everything. It's hit or miss with Sega.

For the game, Sega is sticking close to the screenplay adaptation and not the novel itself. Oh well. Book enthusiasts will say the book was better regardless. You get to play as the main character Lyra as well as a warrior polar bear she befriends. We've got a few screenshots for you to gander at, if you'd like. From the looks of it, the game really seems to have based itself off of the engine used in the Narnia games. Not that it's bad -- but it's going to be similar to that, we'd surmise. Expect it to appear on every system known to man, also.
