[edit] Story

Main Article: Prince Caspian

One year has passed in our world since the first adventure ended, but in Narnia almost 1,300 years have passed. The villainous King Miraz prevents the rightful king, his young nephew Prince Caspian, from ruling the land of Narnia. Caspian uses Susan's magic horn that was left on Narnia to summon the four Pevensies to help him and a small army of Old Narnians reclaim his rightful throne.

[edit] Gameplay

The game features 20 playable characters, of which 4 are available in one level, each with different weapons and abilities. These Include: The Pevensie Children, Prince Caspian, Glemstorm, Trumpkin, Dr. Cornelius, Reepicheep, and Giant Wimbleweather and asterius the minotuar. In addition to these, several Unnamed characters are also playable, including Trees, Fauns, Centaurs, Dawrfs and Minotaurs. Giants, Cyphrons and horses can also be controlled after they have been mounted by the player's character. The game features a basic hack & slash style gameplay, with several puzzles that need to be solved to progress through the game and unlock bonus material. Bonus is, however, primarily unlocked by opening Treasure Chests, which require a certain amount of keys to be opened. The game is spread through six chapters, of which one documents the last battle of the Narnian-Telmarine war. All chapters have a certain no. of levels within them, which greatly expands the gameplay. In addition to the aforementioned chapters, four bonus levels can also be unlocked and completed.
