Thor: God of Thunder takes players through a massive adventure that is set with the same universe as the upcoming movie Thor from Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures. In the game, which features the voice and likeness of Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki, players battle to save Thor's home world of Asgard from destruction. Thor must overcome some of his greatest foes lifted from the pages of the comics, as well as other monstrous denizens. His battle extends from Asgard to the land of Ymir and the Frost Giants in wintry Nifleheim, the fiery forces of Surtur in hellish Muspelheim, and Ulik's band of brutish trolls in the forests and marshes of Vanaheim. Players wield Mjölnir, Thor's legendary hammer, to fight enemies on an immense scale while controlling the elemental storm powers of lightning, thunder and wind to vanquish enemies.
Each version of the game is tailored for its platform, with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions featuring cinematic, third-person action gameplay with melee combos, ranged hammer throws, tide-turning elemental powers, and an upgrade system to bolster Thor's powers as gamers progress. Using grappling points and multiple strategies, players will take on enemies up to four times Thor's size, including monstrous 25-foot tall, 12-ton Frost Giants.
Thor: God of Thunder on the Wii features the same overarching storyline as the versions for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 while offering a different gaming experience by utilizing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to command Thor's hammer and elemental powers. The Wii version is presented with a uniquely styled comic book look, along with different cinematics, story elements, dialogue, locations, and dedicated flight levels.
Nintendo DS players experience a 2D side-scrolling adventure with narrative and gameplay unique to the platform.
