Eurogamer.de write: At the end you have to but the truth in the face look: Henry Rollins was right. Harry Potter is a children's book and the Half-Blood Prince creates digital it is not in the ranks of the "adult" games mitzumischen. It remains an innocent, fun short, but not do anything else.
The perks of having an eight-movie franchise based on the Harry Potter books with a tie-in game for each movie is that you can tell a lot about the state of gaming at the time.
Hoping for a new Harry Potter game soon that's actually good. Hasn't been one in awhile. Really enjoyed the 2 Lego Harry Potter games though.
It doesn't even need to be Harry Potter. Just make a massive game about Hogwarts and you play as kid that has to work his or her way up through the years. If done right, it can be a really great game.
Harry Potter coop diablo style game please, or mmo please, anything but a phone game please
It's common knowledge that movie tie-ins come under much more scrutiny and criticism than any other type of game. Most would argue (perhaps justifiably) that this is thoroughly deserved, and that they can never replace such blockbuster titles as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and God of War III. On this front PS3 Attitude would have to agree, but why exactly is this the case?
Planet Xbox 360 writes: "Harry Potter and his encounters with the Half-Blood Prince won't win over newcomers to the franchise but it may have enough juice to entertain longtime fans. Electronic Arts is not going to win any awards with this video game based on the hugely popular series that spans the globe. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is no different than the previous titles with gameplay that will be felt as overly repetitive. The phenomenon of Harry Potter is no mystery; it's able to grasp the attention of all demographics. As a novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was remarkable in its attempt to push its characters towards adulthood and their encounters with mature scenarios such as Harry's journey with Professor Dumbledore through Lord Voldemort's cave. As a film, Warner Brothers took the novel and put forth one of the darkest entries in the series to date."
