Wield a Virtual Mjolnir in Thor: God of Thunder

Posted on May 13, 2011

Director Kenneth Branagh did a terrific job with the film version of Thor. As with all movies these days there is a game version. The video game versions rarely live up to the big screen hype, but it is as close as you are going to get to wielding Thor's mighty hammer, Mjolnir. If a virtual hammer displeases you, then another option is the plastic version.

Lead Thor comic book author, Matt Fraction, served as story consultant and created an original story specifically for the video game. The game features the voice and likeness of Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Players battle to save Asgard from destruction. Players will take on enemies including 25-foot tall Frost Giants and Ulik's band of brutish trolls.

This video shows the Wii version of Thor: God of Thunder. It is also available for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo DS. Here is a trailer and a behind-the-scenes video. Take a look:
