    Its actually pretty disapointing. Graphicly it looks ok but the gameplay is far too hard and annoying. Its not interesting as well and rather boring to play.

    This game seems to run on a really low fixed frame rate, which makes it really unpleasant to play.

    Graphics is quite ok.

    Spell casting is solved in very interesting way that I like - BUT!. However the problem is that camera is totally broken thanks to this casting solution, because you can not control that (I do not really know why, when you have to press left or right button). AI is really dumb and you fight with characters that are blocking your way pretty often (and they have    Graphics is quite ok.

    AI is really dumb and you fight with characters that are blocking your way pretty often (and they have no real impact on the game).

    I am not even talking about a movement itself. "You will totally love doors" (end of sarcasm). Let's talk about targeting - you move by wasd, cast by mouse and target by arrows - so if you have 3 arms you will have no problem with that.

    And a last and the worst thing about this game - linear and repetitive story telling (producers never saw that book) with broken navigation system. 3/10    … Expand

    I would give it -1 it was an option. Did anyone really test this game before release? And did they really find the movement of the characters and the camera angles "ok" (not saying satisfying on purpose)? Don'r reinvent the wheel people, just use the solution you had in prisoner of Azkaban: the movement, the camera, the CUT SCENE option...all perfect.

    It almost seems as if those virtual barriers we often find in video games have disappeared in this game, as if magic had taken over and made this game endless.

    A non-Harry Potter fan is going to look at Order of the Phoenix and only see the flaws -- the music drowns out the dialogue, sometimes Harry has trouble opening doors, and there's a graphical glitch here and there -- but if you know what gillyweed does and you don't have one of the better console versions, you'll enjoy this game.

    Despite its drawbacks, this is one of the better games in the Harry Potter series. Regrettably, it still lacks the kind of depth that would bring it closer to other competing games on the market.
