Review:
Another adventure of Harry Potter is here for us to live as the boy who lives in the magical world. We do not see much of a gameplay difference from the earlier editions of Harry Potter. The minor differences are: choice of character i.e. Harry, Ron and Hermione. This is more like the GBA (Game Boy Advance) version of previous Harry Potter games. The game now gets a decent multiplayer feature. This feature is not exploited by the developers and because of that you won’t be spending a lot of time playing the multiplayer.
Few things that are not up to the mark compared to the earlier versions of the game are: The basic gameplay has been worked upon to make it bad. In the levels the direction your character faces is unclear making Harry cast a spell on a boulder instead of the Hungarian Horntail dragon.
The tri wizard tournament and the game story crosses. Some part of the actual story and the tournament and the gameplay is not laid down effectively. Its like playing two different games packed in one.
Coming to the sounds which make you close your eyes when you face the Hungarian Horntail dragon. The original voice of the actors and the original movie soundtrack makes the game pleasant to your ears.
Something to please the eye now is the better graphics. The graphics go one step up from the last title. Better looking graphics and more interactive world is what will catch your attention in the game.
Not a “must buy” game until you like anything involving Harry Potter. Although this game has a lot of backing by the movie it will struggle to survive in Indian markets.
