My son recently received Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 for Christmas. Naturally my wife and I end up playing it when he is at school, or at his grandparents. We are Lego Wii veterans ten times over but the Harry Potter series has always been subpar. Why? The magic is cool. The characters are fun. The game play is relatively good. The Harry Potter series is consistently the Lego game that has the most bugs that might hamper game progression without a reset.
That isn't the main issue though. The developers did a great job of developing the game levels. They are full of great game play. The problem I have is Hogwarts. It's too realistic! Which would be great of I myself could walk around it. I'm not however so during free play I get lost. This quickly turned me off the Lego HP years 1-4 after I had played through the story. The game has a ghost you can follow because the developers obviously saw this fault in he game play. What happens when players get lost? The age range of the people that will play this game is about 6 to 50+. I can safely say that unless HP is your life, you play Lego HP for 3 months, and you have the marauders map memorized you will get frustrated by trying navigate the halls of Hogwarts.
Still a good game but nothing close to the other Lego Wii games. I should write a letter to Tt.
To whom it may concern,
Hogwarts is so realistic. Too bad I have to follow a ghost everywhere so that I don't get lost.
Sincerely,
Unimpressed
