In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is allowed - the name gives it away - re-enact the stories of the first four years of apprenticeship. The story derives the player using loving and humorous cutscenes through six levels each school year. Who had but still nothing to do until now with Harry Potter who might have problems with it, to follow the story. After all the cutscenes are very successful, but not so detailed that everything is explained.
The level lead the player through numerous places, that we know from the books and films. There would, for example, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest, the Hogwarts Express or Hogsmeade. And of course, is also waiting on the lock to be explored in great detail. And there is a lot to see. In open-world style you roam passages full of magical picture frame, visited the gardens, the classrooms, the common rooms, the Great Hall, Hagrid's hut and, and, and. Everywhere there are collectable items like coins, yellow and red stones or characters. Numerous students at risk waiting to be freed in the levels or on the grounds of Hogwarts
Throughout history, and especially after, if I may thwart the free play any level again, it switches as well as free any known face from the Harry Potter universe. The red stones bring always cheat with you, which you can buy in Diagon Alley and can use from then. This can be visual changes, or score multipliers and helps to dissolve the 100%. Golden stones obtained for successfully playing through a level or by solving puzzles in Hogwarts and the surrounding area.
Very successful is the fact that you really with any character played freely can also play. Only in this way is dissolved all puzzles as dark arts or other forces of distress are in some places.
The LEGO basic principle remains in this offshoot received and should please most followers. It destroyed much of the area, built from the rubble new way, collect coins and other items and support at certain points in the finest co-operative manner. Two players come here again at their full cost. We should not forget the bonus level and the level editor to whom one is brought in four tutorials. A character editor is available, which allows you to customize its pawns.
Technically makes the game too well. The controller is very fast to flesh and blood, graphically, the title does not need to hide and of course the original movie soundtrack has been integrated.
The atmosphere is the very great strength of the game, because in my eyes it does not create any other Potter-implementation, to bring the world of the sorcerer's apprentice so lovingly into their living rooms. Everywhere scurry around pupils, teachers and ghosts and breathe the already successful Zauberschloss life a.
All Harry Potter fans who want to re-enact the adventures of the young hero, here the detailverliebteste, most humorous, and in the end most magical implementing the first four parts. Until you really unlocked and seen everything, pass many hours of fun.
