Lego, new as old and over

After Star Wars, Indiana Jones 1 + 2 and Batman the latest offshoot, Lego Harry Potter will appear. And again gets the Lego Fan exactly what he expected, namely brilliantly funny characters, a level design that comes the film original as close as Lego just can come close and fun at its best. Again, the characters communicate only with sounds rather than big words to lose, again loosen short videos the transition from level to level, and again it is all in the smallest possible building blocks to dismantle what is not nailed down.

The game in compliance with the Movie templates of the parts 1-4, but therein lies a small problem. Lego Harry Potter is full of insider jokes and thus remains someone who has read neither the books nor has seen the films, also up some closed at comedy and charm. All others are but served excellent. All the characters of the films also have their presence in the game, starting with the protagonist Harry, Ron and Hermione to Hagrid and Fang. And Lego typically also most of the figures are needed for a Lego to the console is not played through the first time. After the story is finished, the free play turns for each section free and at any level must be addressed again, important for GS-hunters to create on the XBOX 360. goods in the previous games tasks only with certain characters, Harry Potter has been marginal changed. Here level by level new spells to be learned that are switched by pressing a button on the pad and are color-coded by a ring menu. So the flow of the game is not lost by continually switching required performers. Once again the genial already introduced in the last part of co-operative mode, in which the screen is divided accordingly in all directions, and each of the players absolute freedom of movement innerhab the level enjoys. Power of Solo mode alone in front of the console have fun without end, the Co-op for two tops but everything! In an online mode but was waived incomprehensibly again. Graphically everything is mobilized again, what do you expect on the one hand from Harry Potter and the other hand of a Lego game. Not only Hogwards is perfectly captured, all the other places resemble their cinematic role models like peas in a pod. The only complaint is (as always) the somewhat clunky controls, but also the players know the predecessor)

The Special Edition offers two additional gimmicks, namely on the Xbox 360 Harry Potter's Quidditch broom as a download for their own avatar, and two Lego magnets with Wappern the houses Griffindor un Slytherin. The additional emblem or magnet will be so only to be found in the Special Edition of the years 5-7. The Verpackng in embossing not only looks like Lego bricks, but also feels like that. For me, a nice piece on the shelf of my collection.
