The player controls the protagonist Kratos , the former God of War, after his betrayal at the hands of his father Zeus , King of the Olympian gods. Guided by Athena ‘s spirit, Kratos battles monsters, gods, and Titans in a search for Pandora , without whom he cannot open Pandora’s Box , defeat Zeus, and end the reign of the Olympian gods to have his revenge.

The gameplay is similar to previous installments, focusing on combo-based combat with the player’s main weapon—the Blades of Exile—and secondary weapons acquired during the game. It uses quick time events , where the player acts in a timed sequence to defeat strong enemies and bosses. The player can use up to four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability as alternative combat options, and the game features puzzles and platforming elements.

Compared with previous installments, God of War III offers a revamped magic system, more enemies, new camera angles, and downloadable content. God of War III was critically acclaimed upon release, with praise for the graphics, gameplay, and scope, although the plot received mixed reviews.

The second best-selling game in the God of War series and the ninth best-selling PlayStation 3 game of all time , it sold nearly 5. Since its release, it has also been named as one of the greatest games of all time. The next game in the series was God of War: Ascension , a prequel to ‘s God of War , which was released on March 12, A true sequel simply titled God of War that re-imagines the franchise and shifts the setting to Norse mythology was released on April 20, God of War III is an action-adventure game with hack and slash elements.

It is a third-person single-player video game. As with previous installments, the player controls the character Kratos from a fixed-camera perspective in combo-based combat , platforming , and puzzle games.

The player must also climb walls and ladders, jump across chasms, and swing on ropes to proceed through the game. The puzzles included vary in difficulty: some puzzles only require objects to be placed in a specific position, while some require timing and precision, such as a puzzle with mechanics similar to Guitar Hero.

Where the eyes and feathers increase the player’s health and magic meters, the horns increase the items meter, which allows further use of secondary weapons, called “Items”. Kratos’ main weapon is the Blades of Exile, replacing the Blades of Athena used in previous installments and the opening moments of the game.

The weapon is a pair of blades attached to chains wrapped around Kratos’ wrists and forearms that can be swung in a number of maneuvers. The Nemean Cestus, a pair of gauntlets, and the Nemesis Whip, similar to the Blades of Exile, are required to advance in parts of the game; for example, the Nemean Cestus is needed to break through objects composed of onyx. Unlike in previous games, magical abilities are learned with the acquisition of a new weapon, giving each weapon its own magic attack; for example, the Army of Sparta may only be used with the Blades of Exile.

Magic gives Kratos a variety of ways to attack and kill enemies, such as the Claws of Hades’ Soul Summon ability, which conjures souls to attack enemies. In addition to four primary weapons, three secondary ones, known as Items, are acquired: [4] the Bow of Apollo , the Head of Helios , and the Boots of Hermes.

All three are required to advance in certain stages of the game; for example, the Head of Helios can be used as a lantern in dark areas and to reveal hidden doorways. The relics Poseidon ‘s Trident, the Golden Fleece , and Icarus ‘ Wings acquired in previous games are retained and used to overcome environmental obstacles, with the Golden Fleece used to deflect enemy attacks. Hades’ Soul allows Kratos to swim in the River Styx.

The Blade of Olympus, a primary weapon in God of War II , is used in this game with the special ability Rage of Sparta for temporary invulnerability and increased attack damage. New additions to the gameplay include the combat grapple, a ranged-grab maneuver which, depending on the weapon, can pull Kratos towards foes or force them away—necessary at certain points in the game, with Kratos riding harpies across chasms—and a simple grab allowing him to use a weak foe as a battering ram.

Kratos can now rapidly switch among the four primary weapons in battle, continuing the same attack combination. Other extra features include the addition of ten Godly Possessions, often hidden near defeated foes and providing additional abilities like unlimited magic during bonus play.

This mode requires players to complete a series of specific tasks—for example, killing all enemies without weapons in a limited amount of time. The player may unlock additional rewards, such as bonus costumes for Kratos, behind-the-scenes videos, and concept art of the characters and environments, by completing the game’s difficulty levels and challenge mode.

A new mode, the Combat Arena, allows players to set difficulty levels and choose opponents to hone playing skills. As with previous games, God of War III is set in an alternate version of ancient Greece populated by Olympian gods , Titans , heroes , and other characters from Greek mythology. Just beyond the city is the Path of Eos, a hidden cavern near the foot of Olympus.

The Palace of the Gods is the home of the Olympians, and features the Forum a small coliseum , Hera’s Gardens, and the chambers of Aphrodite and Poseidon.

The Labyrinth is a large aerial puzzle constructed by the architect Daedalus to imprison Pandora in the Caverns of Olympus, home of Skorpius and its offspring. The Underworld, ruled by Hades and divided by the River Styx, is the realm of the dead.

Hades’ palace contains the remains of his wife, Persephone , whom Kratos killed in Chains of Olympus. The Underworld is also home to statues of the three Judges of the Underworld, who hold the Chain of Balance connecting the Underworld to Olympus. Kratos voiced by Terrence C. Carson , the protagonist of the game, is a Spartan demigod warrior who became the God of War after killing Ares and seeks revenge on Zeus for his betrayal.

Poseidon launches an assault against them, but is killed by Kratos and Gaia; his death causes the oceans to flood Greece. Reaching Olympus’ peak, they try to attack Zeus, but he drives them back and knocks them off the mountain. As Gaia clings to the mountainside, she refuses to save Kratos, calling him a pawn for the Titans’ revenge. Kratos falls into the River Styx, where he loses the Blade of Olympus before the souls of the Underworld weaken him and ruin the Blades of Athena.

Climbing from the river, he is greeted by Athena’s spirit, who was brought to a higher existence after she sacrificed herself to save Zeus from Kratos, [N 2] and she now can witness truths which she previously could not. She gives him the Blades of Exile and tells him he must extinguish the Flame of Olympus to kill Zeus. After finding the three Judges of the Underworld and the Chain of Balance, Kratos briefly meets the spirit of Pandora, whom he briefly mistakes for his dead daughter, Calliope.

Following an encounter with the Olympian blacksmith Hephaestus and recovering the Blade of Olympus, he kills Hades [N 3] and releases the souls of the Underworld. Kratos considers searching for Calliope’s soul, but Athena reminds him of his quest, and he leaves the Underworld.

Arriving at Olympia, he finds the wounded Gaia, who begs him for help. Resentful of Gaia’s earlier betrayal, however, Kratos severs her arm, causing her to fall to her apparent death. Kratos continues his ascent, murdering powerful foes such as the Titan Perses and the god Helios; plunging Greece into eternal darkness in the process. This leads to an encounter with Hermes, who mocks Kratos for his past sins.

Kratos chases Hermes until he arrives at the Chamber of the Flame, where he discovers that Pandora’s Box is held within the Flame of Olympus, which Athena says can only be quelled by Pandora herself.

Kratos continues after the overconfident Hermes, whom he catches and kills, releasing a plague upon Greece. At the Forum, he has an audience with the drunken Hera, who ignores his request for Pandora’s location and summons Hercules. After discussing his jealousy of his half-brother, Hercules attacks Kratos, but is killed. Kratos then encounters Aphrodite, who is indifferent to his war on Olympus. She leads him back to her estranged husband, Hephaestus, through Hyperion’s Gate.

The blacksmith sends Kratos to Tartarus to retrieve the Omphalos Stone , claiming he will forge a new weapon for the Spartan, though he secretly planned to kill him. Kratos faces Cronos, kills the Titan for the stone, and returns to Hephaestus. After forging the weapon, the god tries to kill Kratos himself; however, the Spartan kills Hephaestus in self-defense.

Before dying, Hephaestus claims that he was trying to protect his daughter Pandora, who was imprisoned in the Labyrinth after Kratos opened her box, [N 4] and pleads with Kratos to spare her. Reusing the Hyperion Gate, Kratos travels through Hera’s Gardens, where he kills Hera for disrespecting Pandora, ending all Greek plant life, before making his way to the Labyrinth.

The imprisoned architect, Daedalus, tells Kratos to unite the Labyrinth. Completing this task, Kratos fights his way through the aerial puzzle and rescues Pandora. Neutralizing the judges and breaking the Chain of Balance, Kratos raises the Labyrinth, and Pandora tries to enter the Flame. Zeus intervenes and fights Kratos, but Pandora sacrifices herself despite Kratos’ reluctance. Finding Pandora’s Box empty, Kratos attacks Zeus. Having survived her apparent demise however, Gaia returns and tries to kill them both, but they escape through her body and continue their battle inside her chest.

Kratos impales Zeus against her heart, killing Gaia and apparently Zeus. Believing he is done, Kratos is attacked by Zeus’ spirit, who removes his weapons and powers. Before Zeus can finish him off, Kratos is saved by a vision of Pandora during a journey into his psyche.

With help from the spirits of Calliope and his wife Lysandra, Kratos forgives himself before regaining consciousness, regaining his god powers along with the power of Hope, forcing Zeus’ spirit back into his body; Kratos beats him to death. His revenge complete, Kratos looks upon the apocalyptic Greek landscape, a result of him killing Zeus and the Greek Pantheon. Athena reappears, demanding that Kratos return what she thinks he took from Pandora’s Box.

When Kratos tells her it was empty, she refuses to believe this, explaining that when Zeus sealed the evils of the world in the box, she placed the power of hope in it as well; foreseeing that it would eventually be opened.

Athena realizes that when Kratos opened the box to defeat Ares, the evils escaped and slowly corrupted the gods while Kratos was imbued with hope, which had been hidden by his guilt. She demands Kratos return her power, but he refuses and seemingly kills himself so mankind can have it instead.

Athena leaves empty-handed, as Kratos collapses on a mural of a Phoenix. In a post-credits scene , a trail of blood is seen leading away from the abandoned Blade of Olympus; implying Kratos’ survival [N 5] but leaving his whereabouts unknown. In a interview with GameTrailers , God of War creator and game director David Jaffe explained his original intention for the series, which is different from the actual ending of God of War III , which was based on game director Stig Asmussen’s vision.

Jaffe’s idea was that ” God of War explains, or ultimately will explain, why there are no more Greek myths”. He said that it would have been “hell on earth” as the gods and Titans battled each other for domination. Other mythological pantheons would have become involved after Kratos killed Zeus and the other Greek gods, and the result would be that humankind no longer believed in the gods—according to Jaffe, the only way a god can truly die.

After the first eight months of development, Barlog left Santa Monica for other opportunities, [15] and Stig Asmussen took over as game director; Asmussen previously served as lead environment artist and art director on God of War and God of War II , respectively.

In an interview with IGN , Asmussen said that Barlog “had a major impact on the game” and although he had left the team, they spoke several times afterwards and “bounced a few ideas off him,” but there was no formal collaboration. He also said that David Jaffe “[had] been around the studio a few times” and they “[had] gone over some high-level stuff with him to get his observations and feedback. We’re going to be really careful about what we do next”. A Trilogy Edition was announced for Japan, where the Computer Entertainment Rating Organization CERO gave the game an adults-only Z rating after the previous two versions were considered suitable for players 17 and older.

Asmussen said that one of the greatest challenges in developing God of War III for the PlayStation 3 was the “complexity of everything”; individual tasks, such as designing Helios’ decapitation, could take a year because the “level of detail [that was] expected [was] so high and intricate, it [crossed] multiple departments. Ken Feldman, the art director, commented that the polygon count was not the only factor, and cited the increased texture detail as one of the reasons for Kratos’ realistic appearance.

The developers used a new technique called blended normal mapping to add realism to the basic model and hugely enhance the range of animation available e.

All of the main protagonists were animated by hand because the animators produced more effective work than basic motion capture, though the voice actors’ facial movements were recorded by Image Metrics ‘s performance capture system.

For animating things like hair, the animators created a secondary animation code, known as Dynamic Simulation , which allows the PS3 itself to mathematically calculate the way it should look; it accurately generates motion that previously took the animators long hours to replicate. Everything that Kratos could do in previous games, he could do on the PlayStation 3, which allowed the developers to immediately begin designing new content.

As the game was being developed, the code department would swap out PlayStation 2 components with PlayStation 3 components. They replaced the renderer, the particle system, and the collision system. Asmussen estimated overall game length to be 10 to 20 hours, “depending on how good of a gamer you are.

We know, for a really hardcore player, it’ll take them longer than it took them to play either of the previous God of War games. To light the game, Turtle by Illuminate Labs was used. Several voice actors returned from previous installments, including Terrence C. Susan Blakeslee, who voiced two characters in God of War , voiced Gaia.

Narrator Linda Hunt , who previously voiced Gaia, only provided an introductory narration for the game. Kevin Sorbo was chosen to voice Hercules because of his portrayal of the character in the television series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

On October 30, GameStop began providing voucher codes for customers who pre-ordered the game, [40] and early copies of God of War Collection had a voucher code to download the demo. The game outsold its predecessor by nearly , copies in its first week. God of War III had an extensive marketing campaign before its release. This campaign began in early when a teaser for God of War III appeared as an image the original PlayStation 3 logo surrounded by the Greek omega at the end of the instruction manual for God of War: Chains of Olympus.

For pre-orders, some retailers included a premium costume for Kratos: the Apollo, Forgotten Warrior, and Phantom of Chaos skins from Amazon. The cups and their specially marked Mountain Dew bottles had codes usable on the Slurpee website for God of War III downloadable content, including a behind-the-scenes video, wallpapers , PlayStation Home content, and an in-game Kratos skin, the Morpheus Armor.

In December , Santa Monica accepted video submissions from players to determine the ultimate God of War fan. The top 18 submissions were included in the closing credits of God of War: Unearthing the Legend , and all winners received a copy of the God of War III Ultimate Edition signed by the development team.

Fans could submit an original design of an “Ultimate God of War Monster” for one of three prizes: a limited folio edition, a special edition, and a paperback edition of The Art of God of War III , signed by the development team. The game has 36 trophies , awarded for player achievements for example, “Releasing the Floodgates” for killing Poseidon. Consequently, programmers faced problems such as having to unify the original PlayStation version’s five different game engines, leading to delays.

The conversion of the nearly original musical pieces to XG format files was done by Yamaha. To maximize chances of success, Square searched for a Western company to assist with releasing the PC version. Eidos Interactive , whose release of Tomb Raider had turned it into a publishing giant, agreed to market and publish the port.

The English localization, led by Seth Luisi, was completed by a team of about fifty people who faced a variety of problems. According to Luisi, the biggest hurdle was making “the direct Japanese-to-English text translation read correctly in English.

The sentence structure and grammar rules for the Japanese language is very different from English”, making it difficult for the translation to read like native English without distorting the meaning. The localization was taxing for the team due to their inexperience, lack of professional editors, and poor communication between the North American and Japanese offices.

A result of this disconnect was the original localization of Aerith’s name—which was intended as a conflation of “air” and “earth”—as “Aeris” due to a lack of communication between localization staff and the quality assurance team. The team also faced several technical issues due to programming practices which took little account of subsequent localization, such as dealing with a fixed-width font and having to insert kanji through language input keys to add special characters for example, vowels with diacritics to keep the code working.

Consequently, the text was still read as Japanese by the word processor, so the computer’s spellcheck could not be used, and mistakes had to be caught manually. The code used obscure kanji to refer to main character’s names, which made unintuitive for the translators to identify characters. To mitigate this problem, a proportional typeface was implemented into the source code to fit more text into the screen. For the PC port, Square attempted to fix translation and grammar mistakes for the North American and European versions but did not have the time and budget to retranslate all the text.

Some months prior to the game’s North American release, Sony publicly stated that it was considering cutting the scene at the Honey Bee Inn due to the salacious content, prompting numerous online petitions and letters of protest from RPG fans. Square subsequently stated that it would never allow Sony to localize the game in any way. It would later be released via Steam on July 4, , [] [] replacing the version available on Square Enix’s North American and European online stores.

It has features unavailable in the western version including high-speed mode, no random encounters mode, and a max stats command. DotEmu developed the PS4 version.

It was referred to by GameFan as “quite possibly the greatest game ever made”, [] [] a quote selected for the back cover of the game’s jewel case.

GameSpot commented that “never before have technology, playability, and narrative combined as well as in Final Fantasy VII “, expressing particular favor toward the game’s graphics, audio, and story. They also considered the North American localization a dramatic improvement over the original Japanese version. The game’s visuals and use of FMV cutscenes were lauded by critics. IGN ‘ s Jay Boor insisted the game’s graphics were “light years beyond anything ever seen on the PlayStation”, and regarded its battle system as its strongest point.

In Computer and Video Games magazine, Paul Davies said the “thrilling” and “magnificent plot” would “rock your emotions” and “revolutionise your belief of what a video game can achieve” [] while Alex C praised the dramatic story and well-developed characters. Edge noted that Final Fantasy VII had come close to being an interactive movie in playable form, praising its combination of a complex story that went against Western graphic adventure trends and “excellently orchestrated chip music”. Digitiser praised the size of the game world, calling it the “largest video game” of all time, while considering the game “Perfect in almost every respect.

Final Fantasy VII has also received some negative criticism. OPM and GameSpot questioned the game’s linear progression. Reviewers gave similar praise to the PC version but criticized its various technical faults.

In the months leading up to the game’s release, the game had a high level of anticipation. In North America, it was the most anticipated game at the time, [] with its popularity inspiring thousands of retailers to break street dates in September to meet public demand for the game. Worldwide, it was the best-selling video game of Final Fantasy VII has often placed at or near the top of many reader polls of all-time best games. In , it placed 9th in EGM ‘ s readers’ top 10 games of all time, which the publication noted was startling because the game had not been released in the United States where EGM was published at the time of voting.

It has also appeared in numerous other greatest game lists. The character Shinra from Final Fantasy X-2 proposes the concept of extracting the life energy from within the planet Spira. Later games that would be re-released as international versions include Final Fantasy X and other follow-ups from the franchise, [] [] [] as well as the Kingdom Hearts series.

The game is credited with allowing console role-playing games to gain mass-market appeal outside of Japan. The game’s storytelling was considered revelatory for its time and resonated with most of its audience.

He compared these efforts to the letter-writing campaign to convince Charles Dickens not to let Nell, the endearing protagonist of The Old Curiosity Shop , die at the end of the book.

Taylor affirmed that the acts of discussing these fan theories and dissecting the game code to test them comprise a valid and important part of the experience of the game. The game has inspired numerous developers. Patrick Holleman and Jeremy Parish argue that the game takes the unreliable narrator concept a step further, with its interactivity establishing a connection between the player and the protagonist Cloud, setting Final Fantasy VII apart from films as well as other video games.

He explains that it is “a story about characters who have outlived the people, places, and things that gave them their identities” and that most of the characters are “motivated by the loss of something that once defined who they are”. He considers Barret’s story to be the clearest illustration of the “tragic survivorship” and “survivor’s trio” themes, such as the loss of his coal mining hometown, seeking revenge through militant environmentalism before eventually realizing revenge isn’t the right motivation, and safeguarding a future for his adoptive daughter Marlene who is the only surviving connection to his past.

He also considers the Limit Break mechanic to be a gameplay representation of the survivorship theme. He argues that these are themes which only adults can fully relate to, and were misunderstood by much of the game’s predominantly adolescent audience upon release. During the game’s initial marketing campaign in early , numerous merchandise related to Final Fantasy VII were produced in Japan.

There were various different types of toys produced, including novelty egg dispensers, pin badges, action figures, video game music CDs, and guide books. Releases not under the Compilation label include Maiden Who Travels the Planet , which follows Aerith’s journey in the Lifestream after her death, taking place concurrently with the second half of the original game. Final Fantasy VII Snowboarding is a mobile port of the snowboard minigame featured in the original game, [] featuring different courses for the player to tackle.

Blahuta, Michel S. This eBook is a philosophical guide as to why and how players use certain characters in the Final Fantasy series, explains how gamer’s perception of a character’s weapon and clothing designs can change how they use them.

The writers inform the reader that this eBook will give them an in-depth understanding of themselves and the game which will enhance their gaming experience. This conjecture was sparked by the release of a video featuring the opening sequence of Final Fantasy VII recreated using the PlayStation 3’s graphical capabilities at E3 The game saw changes made to its story and combat system.

Ifalna: A small number of the surviving Cetra defeated Jenova, and confined it. May 10, Aerith: You okay? This is a church in the Sector 5 slums.

You really gave me quite a scare. I came crashing down? You’re lucky. Aerith: Say, Cloud. Have you ever been a bodyguard? You DO do everything, right? And they’re really going to crush them By breaking the support holding up the plate above them. Cloud: Why is Shinra after Aerith? The sole survivor. President Shinra: She’s the last surviving Ancient Don’t you know?

They called themselves the Cetra and lived thousands of years ago. Now they are just a forgotten page in history. That girl, is she a survivor of the Cetra? Isn’t that just a legend? It’s been said the Promised Land is very fertile. If the land is fertile That is why our money-sucking Mako Reactor is a necessity.

The abundant Mako will just come out on its own. Did it get away? Looks like it went to the upper floor using that elevator for the specimens. Aerith: How do you intend to become one with the Planet? Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury.

The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury. What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet?

Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha ha ha! And at the center of that injury, will be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with all the energy of the Planet, I will become a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet I will cease to exist as I am now.

Seuss Enterprises despite “competing companies offer[ing] richer financial packages”. Seuss Living Books products’ development. The games were highly financially successful. Seuss’s ABC lists over names, including additional departments like musicians and choreographers.

At the time, there was a “trend toward familiar characters”. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham. While most titles were based on popular franchises, two were brand new. Meanwhile, the third original story Harry and the Haunted House , was written by Schlichting himself. Pindal began to work with Derek Lamb to create a prototype in the summer of , though the project would eventually be cancelled.

The development team were committed to, as often as possible, working closely with each author to ensure a faithful rendering of the original story and its intent. Schlichting said “our relationship with the authors of the original books was that we would be taking their babies, their stories, their characters, and bring them over into animated media for the first time”.

Just Grandma and Me was the first digital outing for Mercer Mayer. Schlicting observed that Living Books often had a “profound effect” on their original authors; upon seeing Arthur’s Teacher Trouble, Marc Brown said it “change[d] the way he thinks about books”, and from then on he wrote books with animation and interaction in mind.

I realize that developing children’s software is very different from telling a story in a traditional book format, and I appreciate Living Books’ commitment to quality and deep concern for its audience”. Seuss adaptions to be “absolutely line-proof to the books”, though he relented that her husband would be “enchanted” by the “interactive personal creative possibilities” that the new form of communication offered, and was supportive of the “hidden learning process”. In response to a call by Alliance for Technology Access ATA for software companies to design products that were accessible to users with disabilities, Living Books stated their commitment to addressing accessibility issues by designing interactive, animated storybooks for all children, regardless of their ability levels [] in order to “broaden its scope of access”.

Ray worked with companies that adapted the products for use on special keyboards designed for children who had problems using a standard mouse to interact with the stories cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, autism, learning delays. Living Books began to face growing competition from Disney Interactive Disney’s Animated Storybook and Microsoft in the animated storybook genre.

Living Books’ sales dropped while costs increased. The state of the CD-ROM industry was often put down to “inflated prices, mediocre titles, incompatibilities and bugs”.

The Learning Company formerly SoftKey had a significant impact on the market. Throughout the s they had a strategy of releasing shovelware discs of freeware or shareware at very low prices, purchasing edutainment companies through hostile takeovers and reducing them to skeleton staff, while retaining only a small development team to keep cranking out new products; by Broderbund was one of the few independent companies still standing.

This had a big effect on the company’s stock price. Broderbund began to have a defensive strategy of preventing the remaining edutainment companies from being acquired by The Learning Company formerly SoftKey , a factor that would lead them into re-acquiring Living Books. This climate affected the profit projections of Living Books.

In —7, Broderbund enlisted Jeff Charvat to work on the troubled series and making it work; Charvat “charg[ed] in with answers, rather than questions”, a strategy Charvat later admitted “[wa]sn’t the way to go”.

At the time, Joe Durrett, Chief Executive Officer of Broderbund noted, “although Living Books remains a small portion of Broderbund’s revenue, it shares our focus on children’s education and will continue to play a central role in educational software development. This was not uncommon at the time for book publishers to revise their multimedia strategies.

The Living Books excess purchase price was allocated to in-process technology and charged to Broderbund’s operations account at the time of acquisition. By April , Living Books had reduced the number of titles it released per year, adopted a culture of parsimoniousness, and relied on its “high-quality back-list of classics” to “generate steady income”.

August 27, saw the company release an interactive website at www. Narrative Communications, Enliven streaming technology was used to allow demos to be played over the internet.

In February , Broderbund offered ICTV, provider of high-speed internet services and interactive multimedia content over cable television networks, selections from a suite of educational and entertainment interactive CD-ROM titles including Living Books. While the Broderbund brand lived on, the company was disbanded and the talent found new opportunities. In , D. Mattel ended up selling The Learning Company formerly SoftKey to acquisition and management company The Gores Group [] for a fraction of the price they had originally paid for them.

By , Mantle had accumulated a series of ex-Broderbund staff at Mantle, and upon the announcement of the iPad, he felt it was the perfect platform to bring Living Books back. Mantle identified that there were currently no products on the market that were designed for children with autism, which had been a key demographic of Living Books.

Seuss , some titles from The Berenstain Bears , and Little Critter were obtained by Oceanhouse Media , who owned all of the interactive storybook game rights and had created their own iOS titles. By late , Mantle had successfully secured the exclusive rights to all the Living Books storybook assets from HMH and most of the author’s publishing rights, and began active development.

The team had a significant hurdle to overcome in the next stage of development. While they had secured the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt rights to Living Books, the assets were not readily available. Broderbund’s documentation, scripts, source code, and product assets graphics, animations, sound, and music files had been saved onto a set of CD-ROMs and placed in the company’s product archives.

However, Broderbund’s turbulent company history at the turn of the millennium led to much of this archive being lost. Once the assets were retrieved, the titles still required significant modifications in order to optimise their “interaction and responsiveness”; this involved reprogramming how user interactions would be interpreted as actions.

Meanwhile, no changes were made to the user interface or appearance. All this complexity and the many components that implement these capabilities are rolled up into the User Interactivity and Action Interpreter boxes. The titles were presented through a dynamic language function that allows readers to switch languages whenever they want. English and Brazilian Portuguese. Touching the upper right and left blue triangles reveals pop-up page navigation thumbnails, and pop-up language selection buttons respectively.

Deluxe versions of the titles were made available for teachers with bonus features including the 30 page curriculum plan Teacher’s Guides originally made for classrooms.

Little Ark Interactive became a wholly owned subsidiary of Wanderful. Seuss titles would be removed from the App Store to prevent confusion over the similarly titled Oceanhouse Media apps.

In March , Schon donated to The Strong museum hundreds of materials that document the Living Books’ history, including games and company records from between and In August , Kiplinger’s Personal Finance wrote of the series, “there’s not much demand for computer CD’s yet, but I like that fact that Broderbund looks ahead”. Seuss of the digital age”, as he had an “ear — and respect — for the tastes of kids”.

For Michael J. Himowitz at Tampa Bay Times , the series brought back the “old ‘Gee whiz” reaction that he had lost over his decade spent playing and reviewing computer games. Emergency Librarian wrote the series upheld the high standards of Broderbund. The series won many awards and its creators received letters from children and parents. Hyper Nexus noted that Living Books’ reputation of ease and functionality led to consumers testing other Broderbund programs and the company achieving a strong market domination, a phenomenon they had earlier observed with ‘s The Print Shop.

Dyson, director of The Strong’s International Center for the History of Electronic Games , said “Living Books was an innovator in the creation of interactive books and became a leader in the development of educational and entertaining software for young children”. Schlchting acknowledges that Living Books became a household name, but “only after a struggle”.

Mantle, president and CEO, Wanderful reflected “”Living Books has such an amazing legacy, remembered by children, trusted by parents and embraced by the educational community” through “elegant, interactive-rich Over the years, Schlichting has had many people tell him that they learned English from Living Books. Broderbund ‘s Living Books series was perhaps the first example of popular children’s stories in print being adapted into digital storybooks that encouraged interactive learning and play in the computer, or at least popularized the animated storybook format through hits such as ‘s Just Grandma and Me and Arthur’s Teacher Trouble which were based on popular children’s books from the s by Mercer Mayer and Marc Brown respectively.

Many reviewers praised the series as a learning tool. Multiple Perspectives on Difficulties in Learning Literacy and Numeracy felt the series offers children a narrative context to explore while giving them authority and control over the interface to motivate them to learn. The series had been highlighted for its incidental learning.

Other critics questioned the series’ efficacy as a learning tool. The Age notes that the idea of presenting a book with interactivity, sound, and music was a “whole new idea” that “left many unsure as to its soundness”; reactions from teachers were mixed, with some believing it added “another dimension to literature”, while others felt it would have been “cheaper and more worthwhile” to buying the class physical copies of each book. Garfinkel and Beth Rosenberg of Boston Globe Online found Living Books to be of high quality in a market flooded with “questionable” releases for children, they stated that not all of the titles lived up to the company’s educational claims, noting Dr.

The series has been praised for its use of hotspots and interactivity. The Age noted that upon the series’ original release, “some people saw it simply as a form of interactive cartoon, while others have described the Living Books series as little more than a talking book”. Tampa Bay Times reported their child testers willingly forwent Beavis, Butt-Head and WWF Wrestling to play the program, arguing the series’ secret ingredient was “creativity”.

The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight has long animations during which all a kid can do is sit and watch”. The series has been praised for its graphics and animation. Holzberg said Sheila Rae was a “wonderfully upbeat and toe-tapping reading adventure”. The series has been praised for its music and sound.

The series has been praised for its adaption of books. Tampa Bay Times felt that The Tortoise and the Hare “demonstrates that even a timeworn tale can be revived for youthful audiences with multimedia dazzle”. Seuss’ ABC , stated that, “the producers’ fondness for Dr. Seuss and their fidelity to his sense of refined silliness spill into every sequence.

Seuss titles The Washington Post criticised Living Books for “re-purposing content” and “exploiting existing media franchises”, adding that “nearly all of the additions mangle or simply ignore the Seuss sensibility”.

Complex felt the games allowed kids to “live out their personal Pagemaster fantasies” [] Superkids thought Tortoise and the Hare “does the old story justice”. Garfinkel and Beth Rosenberg felt that the added dialogue supplementing the book’s text was sometimes “out of character”.

Many critics wrote about the series as a reading tool compared to the physical book. The New York Times questioned the addition of the “original “dead” book” with the CD-ROM adaption, suggesting “most children never get around to opening the real book”.

Some of the best and most entertaining software titles ever developed have been electronic adaptations of popular children’s literature. The numerous delightful animations, rich screens, and appealing characters found in titles such as Just Grandma and Me Broderbund’s early offering, considered by many a standard-setter made them great favorites with children, and the undemanding way in which they invited kids to become active readers was appealing to adults.

Many critics praised the series’ humour and wit. The Independent thought the best titles were “amusing” with funny storylines. Upon previewing the second title in the series, Computer Gaming World wrote that Just Grandma and Me was “not just a creative fluke”, and felt Living Books “may have the wit and imagination to keep the magic in the series indefinitely”.

Many reviewers praised the series for its ease of use. MacUser felt that Living Books and Edmark’s Early Learning House overcame the issue of exclusively Caucasian characters in younger children’s programs through the use of animal and friendly monster protagonists.

In , Aktueller Software Markt praised two entries in the series and concluded the review by begging for a German translation of the programs. The Seattle Times though felt the additions in the Version 2. MacUser felt that Little Ark Interactive pair of titles would be a “huge assist” to any parent struggling to answer the question ‘What is the Bible’ from a religious or a cultural perspective; it felt the titles could open the possibility for parent-child discussions on alternative races and religions.

Of the Wanderful re-releases of Little Ark, Children’s Technology Review wrote “[these] bible stories that come to life, in the context of a solid ‘Living Book’ shell” due to their “effective language immersion experience”, and suggested their use of slapstick humor “could actually make religion fun. Many reviewers directly recommended their audience to purchase Living Books. The series has received consistently high review scores. Living Books are interactive storybooks — effectively a blend of computer games and hypertext fiction [] They are “electronic versions of either narrative or expository texts that combine high quality animations and graphics with speech, sound, music, and special effect”.

The plots are faithful to their respective books. The games are generally adaptions of books from popular children’s franchises such as Arthur , Berenstain Bears , and Dr. Seuss , however three titles exclusively created by Living Books not being existing book adaptions included Ruff’s Bone co-produced by Colossal Pictures , Harry and the Haunted House , and a retelling of The Tortoise and the Hare.

Interactive storybooks are a storytelling device that encourages kids to take part. Players are offered two ways of reading the story: Read To Me only allowing players to flip pages and Let Me Play including player interaction.

They can hear selected words or phrases by clicking on them. Players experience animations and voice acting, [] while clicking on hidden hotspots reveal surprise animations, sound effects, songs, and sight gags.

Little Ark Interactive follow a similar formula, either the player can choose ‘Read-to-me’ and have the narrator tell the story which is supplemented by animations; or they can choose ‘Let Me Play’ and explore page by page, clicking on hotspots to reveal sight gags and music cues.
