    Thanks to the top-notch production values, this is an easy recommendation for fans of the books or movies.

    A treat for Harry Potter fans.

    It suffers from a couple glitches, but this is without question EA's greatest Harry Potter, as well as one of its best movie-based games.

    The experiment is a success and testament to the fact that EA really has been spending more time crafting these games as the movies and books become more ambitious. If "Half-Blood Prince" produces the same leap in concept as we've seen here, Potter fans will really be in for something.

    The mission objectives are mundane, but all the little secrets littered throughout give it a sense of discover that Harry Potter games have failed to deliver in the past. If you’re a diehard Potter fan then don’t think twice about picking it up, and action gamers will find a lot to like as well.

    Order of the Phoenix is without a doubt the best entry in the Harry Potter game series to date.

    No user interface creates a bit of a different feel to the game. The flow, though, is very nice and the game uses the school as a sandbox game mechanic, letting players move through the quests at their own pace.

    Sure, Order of the Phoenix is a little rough around the edges, but it's still the best Harry Potter game yet. Fans will get a huge kick over how well it recreates Harry's world.

    A top-notch sandbox adventure and also one of the finest movie tie-ins in years. [Aug 2007, p.100]

    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 a snitch is and what gillyweed does, you'll dig this game.

    The extreme care taken with reproducing the world, characters, and story of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix results in certainly the best Harry Potter game yet and a perfect counterpart to the film.

    Fans will have fun with it, but the camera and controls could do with a touch of 'Reparo'. [Aug 2007, p.64]

    It really shows that EA not only took notes from the films and books, but listened to the fans to give them what they want.

The game follows the storylineHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a decent game that offers a fun experience for fans of the series. The game follows the storyline of the book and movie, allowing players to explore Hogwarts and interact with familiar characters from the series.

    The graphics and sound design of the game are solid, and the voice acting is top-notch. The controls are easy to learn, and the gameplay mechanics are engaging. The game also offers some interesting side quests and mini-games that add to the overall experience.

    However, the game is not without its flaws. The game's pacing is slow, and there are times when it feels like there is too much wandering around Hogwarts with not much happening. The combat system is also somewhat clunky, and the AI can be frustrating at times.

    Overall, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a decent game that will appeal to fans of the series. However, its slow pacing and clunky combat system may turn off some players. If you're a die-hard Harry Potter fan, this game is definitely worth a play, but for others, there are better options out there. With a rating of 6/10, it's a game that is enjoyable, but not outstanding.    … Full Review »
