Gameplay
According to GameSpot, the gameplay is airborne combat. The player locks on to enemy owls or structures, and the player has the option to attack. If the player chooses to do so, the player-controlled owl will "go zooming toward your enemy and wallop it with your claws" as stated in the review. GameSpot also stated that there are some parts where the player has to navigate through gates in a specific amount of time.[1]
Reception
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole received largely mixed and average reviews. According to Metacritic, the Xbox 360 version has an average critic score of 66 based on 7 reviews.[2] While acknowledging its gameplay and other elements as commendable, the majority of critics noted the game's short play time and replay value as a major pitfall. GameSpot gave the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions a 6/10 rating.[1][3] Game Informer awarded it 7.25 out of ten and said "Though limited in scope and complexity, the game does everything it sets out to do and remains a fun family diversion throughout".

The original musical soundtrack of the Legend of the Guardians video game was composed by Winifred Phillips[4] and produced by Winnie Waldron.[5] The soundtrack was released on iTunes by WaterTower Music, a division of Warner Bros. Entertainment.[4] The second track on the album, "With Hearts Sublime", is a winner of the 2010 Hollywood Music in Media Award in the category "Best Original Song: Video Game".[6]
