Hello, I was thinking of buying this game for one of the consols or the psp..but I don't know..gamespot, my most trusted gamesite gives it a 5/10, which is not good. I don't know, they say the bad stuff in it are that the game is extensive and the extent of it is ineffective...like it drags on and it's boring. But I need a review...a little bit detailed preferably. I want to know, is it worth my money, and I need an honest to pieces review, like from cut scenes, to what they add from the movies, to what they take out, to the mini games, quests, missions, and everything...overall, is it a good game also?

Please help me in this delima. Razz that would be appreciated, thanks

I aint even played the game but the graphics looks good and ALOT of people are sying its a good game. Everyone says its much better than that rubbish GoF game they made. So.....I say you should give it a try...Also u can do spells by moving the analog sticks or the Wii remote in certain positions which makes it more realistic I guess as if you were holding a wand and moving it....

The game is a lot more interactive than Goblet of Fire (you can interact with things instead of just walk around and fire maybe 3 different spells at targets) I've played the demo, which is a very limited demo, but it seemed like it'd be worth buying if you're a hardcore potter fan. The platform I played it on was of course PC, and the controls were pretty crappy. But you can usually work around that on PC. I'm sure they're a lot better on the console versions. Plus, with the events that take place in OoTP, I dont see why it wouldn't be a good game. But it's definitely not "outstanding" or anything, hence the 5/10 GameSpot rating

This one will take you way longer to finish.. maybe a week, unless you're playing it non-stop. It's not like the games for books 1-4.. they were definitely kids games
