    It follows the story of the film. It may be repetitive and slightly inaccurate, but if you want a cheap 3rd person shooter gaming experience that is still fun, then this game is right for you.

    I REALLY don't understand all the criticism for this game. Maybe I'm just too much of a Harry Potter fan to look for any flaws in this game. Some people complain that it was too repetitive, but what they don't understand is that its a war game. Of course its going to be repetitive.

    I have decided to act my review out as if I were a chatacter from Harry Potter:
    Ron: Harry, did you buy the new Potter game? Harry: No, too busy playing the older one. Ron: But you have got to get it Harry! It's so good! It made me wonder how the creators got away with such a scheme! Hermonie: What are you boys talking about? Ron: The new Potter game! Harry's coming with me to Gamestop to    I have decided to act my review out as if I were a chatacter from Harry Potter:

Hermonie: Harry, that game sucks. Don't buy it, as hard as it is to believe, it's slightly worse than the one your playing now! Harry: That's impossible! Hermonie: If DragonAge did it, so could this one. Let's go play something decent. Ron: Like Stronghold 3? Hermonie: You are not getting this, Ron.
    In short, this game is horrindus.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this game is not wroth £40.00 because its to short and you do not play as much charter's. So if you are in to harry potter games then I suggest you watch the movie first and then wait at like new years or Christmas time and get because you will save a hell of a lot of money… Expand

    The game is bad, gameplay is awful, and it's ridiculously short, not worth spending money on this game. Part 2 is not better than the first, but the game can be quite fun to play, but the gameplay is poor and the game is short.

    Just watch the movie!!!!
    This game is not great, but it's not horrible either, the voice acting is pretty bad though, the only original actor i believe that did his own voice was Rupert Grint (RON) and that's about it everyone else sounds so bad it makes me want to laugh. and the gameplay is pretty repetitive it's just not really worth buying unless your a Harry Potter fanatic and need    Just watch the movie!!!!

    Although it's never going to win any awards for originality, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows part 2 is an engaging third person shooter that kept me entertained for it's duration. The difficulty and game length are both just about right, and there is also a good smattering of memorable set pieces along the way. I don't know why people are so dismissive of this game.

I found it to be a lot of fun... Even if you do have to spend ages magically unlocking small garden gates that you could easily kick off their hinges, or merely hop over. That bit of eye-rolling stupidity aside, this is a descent game.… Expand

    While fun and it does follow (loosely) the story of the final book and film, The Deathly Hallows Part 2 is a flawed repetitive game, that somehow is still fun. I would give it a lower score, but I'm too big a Potter fan to do so.

    Short and easily dismissive, this game installment just ends too quickly and doesn't give us a lot of different character options and modes to play. Otherwise it's fun but never really more than that.

    Fun but repetitive. Shoot, advance, shoot, advance.. It follows the story of the movie, but it's not nearly as god as the movie it is based on. If you want an enjoyable, cheap shooter you can get this.

    Para ser un juego con predecesores larguísimos este se queda muuuuy corto, se termina enseguida. Le faltó mucho el factor de los libros, era todo película. Sin embargo, es super épico.

    It's pretty good. The story is a bit short but the gameplay is good and the usage of Playstation Move is great. I think you should try it if you are a Harry Potter fan.

    While the Harry Potter franchise has had its share of successful video game adaptations, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 on PlayStation 3 is a notable exception. Unfortunately, this game falls short in several areas, making it a disappointing addition to the franchise.

    First and foremost, the gameplay is clunky and unresponsive, making it difficult to enjoy the experience.    While the Harry Potter franchise has had its share of successful video game adaptations, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 on PlayStation 3 is a notable exception. Unfortunately, this game falls short in several areas, making it a disappointing addition to the franchise.

    First and foremost, the gameplay is clunky and unresponsive, making it difficult to enjoy the experience. The controls feel sluggish and unintuitive, which can make even the simplest of tasks a chore to complete. Additionally, the graphics are lackluster, and the game suffers from numerous technical issues, such as frame rate drops and glitches.

    The storyline also feels rushed and incomplete, which is a letdown for fans of the series who were looking forward to reliving the final battles of the Harry Potter saga. The lack of character development and the absence of memorable moments from the books and movies make the game feel like a watered-down version of the story.

    Overall, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 on PlayStation 3 is a disappointing game that fails to live up to the expectations set by its predecessors. While die-hard fans of the series may find some enjoyment in revisiting the world of Harry Potter, this game is likely to leave most players feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied.    … Expand

    Slow and unexciting firefights with never-ending waves of enemies, a general lack of variation and a horrible form of storytelling resides at the top of a long list of problems.

    A decent enough wand-shooter that represents a wasted opportunity for both Move and the Harry Potter series. [Oct 2011, p.103]

    Factor in the uncontrollable camera and this third-person shooter is firmly mediocre. [Oct 2011, p.85]
