Haven't heard anyone mention this, but I got this in Game for 20 quid and I'm *really* enjoying it.
I'm a big fan of the books and I feel that this captures the essence of the first book very well. The graphical style is very impressive and some of the backgrounds (outside troll cave!) are lovely. It also features some of the most expansive rooms I've yet seen in a game.
I reckon this one will be missed by many because of the lack of the film license, but that'd be a shame.
I'm up to the "Riddles in the Dark" section, I've died many times but save points are always well placed to keep you coming back. There's a nice mix of platforming, and, yes, the puzzling is fairly straightforward.
If I was to compare it to any other game, it's closest to Starfox Adventures without the tedium and with more character.
