When you start the game things don’t look that great, though. Luckily, Hal is actually pretty good at smashing up metal minions thanks to his Ring. It’s disappointing to see that Rise of the Manhunters doesn’t make use of the Green Lantern lore that’s available, but it’s not too surprising. Along the way his mentor Sinestro will show up and so will his friend Kilowog, but ultimately they don’t have that much of an impact on events. In the game the Manhunters, the original protectors of the galaxy, have returned to cause trouble for the neighbourhood and it’s up to Hal Jordan to pummel his way through ten levels of tinheads.
He also lends his voice talent to the game and does a pretty good job of it. So, for example, they could create a giant hammer to smash something, or perhaps a bear-trap.Throw in some super speed, strength and the ability to fly and you have a hell of a police force. The Green Lantern that the game and film follows is Hal Jordan, test pilot on Earth, who is played by Ryan Reynolds in the film. The Green Lanterns power comes from a ring that allows them to create “hard-light” constructs by using the power of their will. It’s not great, but for a movie tie-in you might just be surprised.įor those unfamiliar with the concept of the Green Lanterns, they’re essentially a galactic police force created by the Guardians. Ok, so I’m talking about Batman: Arkham Asylum and not Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters, but that’s ok as this game isn’t actually half bad.
