    HALLOWED BE THY POTTER! Truly a spectacle and a treat to all Harry Potter gaming fans! This instalment in the EA series involves actual 1st person interaction whereas up until now all Harry did was run around Hogwarts, make potions and collect cards.

Truly a spectacle and a treat to all Harry Potter gaming fans! This instalment in the EA series involves actual 1st person interaction whereas up until now all Harry did was run around Hogwarts, make potions and collect cards. If you have read the series you will be amazed as i was to see how accurate the story timeline of the game actually is. A lot of strategy and creativity literally come into play when defeating death eaters, snatchers and all the magical monsters of the woods. If you, like me can experience this game on a 27" full HD monitor with an ATI Radeon HD series GPU then you will know that you can finally compare this game to the highest ranking, graphics intensive games on the current market, which is a lot to say for EA since they never worried to much about the High Definition gaming environment. Overall, i give this game an 9/10, purely from a HP fans perspective but as a games tester with an objective approach i give it 6/10 for story, 8/10 for the environments, 9.5/10 for the realistic action packed sequences and a healthy 8/10 for the general dark atmosphere of the game in terms of movies, menus etc. Final Comment: Buy the game, do the fancy 3D thingy mabobby with the cover online with a webcam and murder a good nights sleep with this phenomenal addition to the HP arsenal because as of yet, it truly is the best game in its class.

    Repetitive at some points during the game, but also new way to design a FPS-like Harry Potter game. It would always be difficult to adapt the first part of a book/movie such as Deathly Hallows. Therefore I think this is a good game, for what it tries to achieve, but could aspire to do better and more with the source material it had.

    It's a game based on the 7th book from the Harry Potter universe. This is the 1st part of the book.
    Overall, in my opinion:
    - Graphic 8/10
    - Sound 9/10
    - Storyline 8/10
    - Length 3/10
    - Fun 9/10

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

    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]

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