Thor God of Thunder (Nintendo Wii, 2011)

Players venture through the realms of legend as Thor: God of Thunder. The video game is based on the contemporarily released feature film, and follows Marvel Comics' interpretation of the stormy figure of Norse mythology. The adventure proceeds through third-person melee combat with supernaturally-empowered special attacks. Players can use motion control to wield the mighty hammer Mjolnir, and the Wii version of the game includes additional flight levels. The stylized graphics have a comic book appearance. Much of the game takes place in the different worlds of Norse mythology, as Asgard faces threats from the realms of fire, ice, giants, and trolls. The story was co-authored by Matt Fraction, an esteemed writer of the Thor comic series. Actors Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston reprise their roles from the film to provide voice acting.
