Harry Potter Game Review

Format:PSP
Price: $70.00
Publisher: EA Games
Players: Multiplayer Action
Genre: Adventure

What's the game all about?
The Ministry of Magic and the press have branded Harry Potter a liar. It's his fifth year at Hogwarts and everyone is in denial about Harry's recent encounter with the one who must not be named (Lord Voldemort of course). Playing as Harry, it's your job to stop the rumours, join Dumbledore's Army and prepare for battle.

What are the controls like?
There's so much to explore at Hogwarts and you might wonder why Harry isn't tired all the time, walking up and down those stairs all day. The controls are quite easy but sometimes creating a magic spell can be tricky. To be a really good wizard you're going to have to practise your spell casting.

What do you think of the graphics?
The graphics are magical. The characters look really similar to the film so it is like you are actually chatting to Ron or Hermione. All of the details around Hogwarts are great, especially the moving portraits and ghostly figures.

What are the game's best bits?

The best bit of the game is creating spells! You learn them one by one so they are quite easy to remember. Dueling with other wizards is fun too especially if they're from Slytherin.

What is not so good about the game?
The Marauders Map is supposed to guide you through Hogwarts but it can be difficult to read sometimes and makes the tasks feel like chores.

Closing comments?
If you are a Harry Potter fan then you will love this game. Even if you don't like Harry and his spell binding adventures you will still be hooked to this game, as quick as you can say Wingardium Leviosa.
