    The thing is, this is a large improvement over the mess that the Goblet of Fire was, but compared to the first three games, this game is bad.

    I have to say that this game has probably the second best designed Hogwarts in the whole series with the castle being really large and faithful to the movies but on the other hand it is WAY too large and it is not fun to search for every hidden secret like it was in the first three games because it takes forever in this game.
    Also, the major part of the game play revolves around doing fetch quests to gain members for the Dumbledore Army. These quests are all pretty boring and because they require you to run from one place to another, doing some sort of a short jumping sequence or something else that's largely unimaginative and then running back, followed by running somewhere else again, doing something little and running back and repeating this for like 28 times or so, you can imagine the level of BOREDOM yourself.
    Summary: Great looking castle, super repetitive and boring gameplay.    … Expand

    If the first parts of Harry Potter games were fan based platformers, The Order of the Phoenix became sort of action game. I remember enjoying playing some levels, and casting spells, but at some point somewhere in the middle, this game has nothing new to give and that is frustrating,

    It is the best Hogwarts in a Harry Potter game. However, I do have to agree even though I loved wandering around Hogwarts, it wasn't a good game.

    I'm a Wizarding World fan. When the game was released, I loved it for the Hogwarts design. If you've just watched movies and love them. Get this game to see Hogwarts. If you're a book fan, and hate movies then don't get it. Or maybe get it    It is the best Hogwarts in a Harry Potter game.

    This game was miles better than Goblet of Fire, the graphics, music, Hogwarts Castle and the new exploration opportunity were a big improvement over the previous title. Overall a fun game, with some puzzles throughout Hogwarts.

    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.
