I had already bought the game at some point in early 2011, but had no desire to play in a short Time. I recently but then again rangetraut me and played through it. And I can not help to say that it was just awful. The graphics, textures and especially the characters are designed quite detailed and visually appealing for a 2010s game. Unfortunately, this is the only positive point, because the gameplay and the story are told plainly a disaster. Employed (and if I ever say I mean almost always) have to fight against any Death Eaters who just show up in the open field, and unless you're fighting, you run felt 5x the same map up and down (example: * follow Dean and overhear him. * It runs along the map, is thereby attacked 50x by Death Eaters. * Find a way to overcome the barrier. * Completely run back to fetch a book of magic, of course, not without Todesserkämpfen, then back to Text. * Locate a campground. * Back Race, Death Eaters, etc .....). It all depends on the feeling that EA was too stingy to pay a few more programmers for more maps. Some missions are only senseless and annoying, as when you. Under the Invisibility Cloak, which you must wear only a limited time, you must observe any Muggle, to find out if there are Death Eaters Or nachzugucken which elevator goes to the first floor in the Ministry. You do not just press a button in elevators? There are also only a certain number of character models, that it may well be times that twice the same Death Eater fight against you or that a Death Eater, who brought you pointed just mocking it, which is just sentenced a Muggle-born woman, at once her husband is. And the worst for Harry Potter fans: The entire story is somehow just casually mentioned and people who do not know Harry Potter and previously could not do anything with the story, can certainly do not even afterwards. The game adheres not to the historical document: One constantly encounters Death Eaters that you have to fight. Had Harry & Co. in the book? No. And you have to either find magic books or spell will be unlocked with a running progress. HAVE LEARNED no magic at Hogwarts ??? I could go on forever do so and still enumerate a lot more criticism, but otherwise the review is too long.
PROs + Appealing graphics and beautifully designed main characters
CONs - Blunt magic Ballerei - Story is not considered - Senseless missions - "Map-recycling"
Points: 3/10 points
Conclusion: If you get paid to play and Harry Potter fan, I would advise you to play it for the sake of completeness, but at a purchase I would not advise you because this game is just no fun.
