    This is Harry Potter and the Deadly Shallows. It's only six hours long, but just as boring and confusing as the book and just as bad as the console versions.

    You'd have to be a very indiscriminate person to willingly step into this… game.

    Unfortunately there are too many mundane missions and not enough variety throughout the game to make this an exciting shooter and the distinct lack of collectibles (something that the previous games prided themselves on) is also disappointing and makes exploring the bland levels pointless.

    Grievous and almost unplayable attempt to create an action shooter has ended in a disaster. Spit to the faces of Potter fans and all gamers which deserve just this: Avada Kedavra. [Issue#199]

    It's a shooter for people who don't shoot and have the initiative of a house elf. [Feb 2011, p.97]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. First off i would really love for the maker of this game to show me where exactly in the book does harry, ron and hermione run through a seedy, run down building site constantly fighting snatchers and oh yeah, the odd dementor or womping willow, because to my knowledge it never happens! I am only half way through the game and i think i am really going to struggle finishing it because all the game has consisted of up untill this point is fighting, fighting, sneaking past people under the invisibility cloak and more fighting. If i had wanted to play a fighting game i would have played some sort of soldier gun game not harry potter. This game had the potential to be something really special but so far it just hasnt lived up to that. I sincerely hope that part two is better than this one !… Full Review »

    I understood the decision of this game but it didn't translate very well at all! Feels like a worse version of Call of Duty but with spells.I understood the decision of this game but it didn't translate very well at all! Feels like a worse version of Call of Duty but with spells. Boring missions dragged out combat scenarios and the overall mediocre quality of this game. You can tell that it was pushed out too soon without a clear thought of what the developers wanted with this game.… Full Review »

    Поттер - мальчик, который стал в экшен с элементами стелса.

    Игра при быстром прохождении проходится за 3-4 часа. Почему быстром? Потому что    Поттер - мальчик, который стал в экшен с элементами стелса.

    Игра при быстром прохождении проходится за 3-4 часа. Почему быстром? Потому что геймплей максимально уныл и скучен, 80 процентов времени это нескончаемые перестрелки палочками с пожирателями смерти и егирями, которых Поттер валит на лево и направо сотнями, если не тысячами... А стелс миссии сплошная духота.

    При всем разнообразии заклинаний из них юзабельны 3-4 штуки, остальные же малоэффективны или вообще бесполезны - игра спокойно проходится стартовым "остолбиней".

    Сюжет повторяет события фильма, но вносит свои изменения в повествование, причем нелепые - например идти за гоблином и учеником Хогвартса, что бы подслушать их разговор, пробираясь сквозь тонны егерей и пожирателей смерти, которые их не трогают. WTF?

    Дополнительные (обязательные) миссии тоже добавляют своей нелепости к месту, да и не блещут разнообразием, спаси "заложников", да переживи волны атак болванчиков.

    Лвл дизайн просто мрак, неоднократно повторяются как в "доп" миссиях, так и в основных, а самое увлекательное - это когда в сюжетных миссиях одну локацию надо пробежать два раза, вперед и назад...

    В общем кромешное уныние, которое скорее хочется пробежать под мантией невидимкой.
