Thor is certainly on the rise, he’s got a Marvel film coming, a full-scale video game and this PS mini from Frima. While this game has nothing to do with the Marvel Comics version of Thor, it does draw heavily on the Norse Mythology that is the basis for it all.

The thing I love most about the PS Minis is that I can play them on both the PSP and the PS3, I just wish you could manage to share game save data across them. Sure, that has nothing to do with the game but it would be nice right?

As Young Thor, travel through Midgard, the world of men, and Asgard, the realm of the gods, in your quest to restore balance. Unleash your 15 different attacks and tremendous magical powers on the myriad of enemies under Hel’s command. Explore 4 unique and vast environments in search of 8 godly artifacts that will help you save the world. Rise up to level 99, defeat Hel and her two cursed allies Ratatoskr and Nidhogg to rescue the 3 Norns. Get ready to embark on an epic journey to save the world tree Yggdrasil and all the realms it connects.

So it’s a sort of 2D hack-n-slash side-scrolling adventure. Battle through wave after wave of enemies to reach the end. Along the way you’ll level up to become more powerful, obtain artifacts to help you gain new abilities and unlock achievements when you do something, dare I say, mythical.

 Our Rating for Young Thor Review (PS Mini)
7.0
Replay
I might go and eventually finish all of the levels, but it won’t be a priority any time soon.
6.5
Graphics
Squarish graphics and some bland levels design coupled with resued enemies drag this score into the mire. But they look good enough on both platforms.
6.5
Sound
Flat and redundant. Thor doesn’t say "Hiiya! Hiiya!" when he fights, does he? Maybe it’s just because he’s young.
5.5
Gameplay
The environment gets in the way, your lightning attack doesn’t follow the ground on an incline/decline. Redundant and quickly boring.
0.0
Multiplayer/Online Content
6.5
Overall
The game is lengthy, but you play the same levels over again with increasing difficulty and rehashed enemies. At times it made me want to throw my PSP across the room from its frustrating gameplay.
