New Potter Game Gets Mixed Response

Although the game based on the last Potter movie, Order of the Phoenix, won its share of praise from reviewers and the public, the just-released Half-Blood Prince isn't doing nearly as well.

Among the litany of complaints: mindless minigames, a voice cast that sounds little like the real thing, a plot that takes preposterous liberties with the book's story, a single-player mode that lasts a meager five or six hours, and a badly written script.
