GameSpot writes: "The last book of the Harry Potter saga finds our trio of protagonists in unfamiliar territory. Having left Hogwarts and cut all ties to their loved ones to pursue the destruction of Lord Voldemort, Harry, Ron and Hermione have taken refuge in the wilds of Northern England. As they search for vital information, the Death Eaters hunt them mercilessly. The three heroes are isolated, threatened, and forced to defend themselves with powerful magic. This is not the Potter of years past, and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is not like any Harry Potter video game you have played before. Designed to capture the desperation and deadly importance of Harry's mission, the game arms you with an array of deadly spells and sets you against a host of ill-intentioned enemies. Is firing spells with gleeful impunity as fun as you've always imagined it to be? We picked up our controller to find out".
No major Harry Potter game has been released since 2011. Are they gone forever or can we expect new ones to return to loyal Harry Potter fans?
Sadly not much. Hopefully they can make some good Harry Potter games. I loved Lego Harry Potter games
Most of them were loosely based on the films.Now that there's no more movies being made for the time being, I don't see a new Harry Potter game releasing anytime soon.
Sorcerer's Stone and Order of the Phoenix were a blast to play because of their explorative nature. Goblet of Fire was another good one too, many good times with the co-op on that one.
They became trash after Chamber of Secrets and Quidditch World Cup. The Lego games were fun though.
EA takes a lot of stick. The company is frequently attacked by outlets across the industry for what is perceived as negative and in some cases manipulative business practices. Whether right, or wrong, this perception has stuck with the company for a long time (they remain the only business in the world to win the coveted Worst Company in America ‘Award’ two years in a row) and based on their treatment of the Harry Potter franchise, it’s easy to see why!
Harry Potter and Chambre of Secrets for PS2 is one of my favorite games from childhood, was the game good ?
I actually liked the Harry Potter games but all of the games were basically the same thing over and over again. Run through the castle, do tasks, collect stuff. It's typical EA, they don't have many new ideas. They just pick up the rights to make certain games and make the same game over and over again. Look at their sports games.
Also, i have been a big fan of Simpsons games but since EA got the rights to make those games all we have had is a game that come out after the movie and a mobile game. That is crap. I would love another Simpsons game, before EA took over we had loads of them.
Well, the first 3 games involved a lot of platforming, most of the time you had to collect items thoughts the level to complete it, like collect 10 stars etc. to be honest, despite playing them when i was a kid, i don't really have any love for them in my heart. For me they are mediocre and frustrating. The soundtrack is great though, was composed by Jeremy Soule(cough* skyrim cough*).
4th game was more like the lego games Warner Bros makes. Despite all the hate it got, it's still quite decent.
5th and 6th are actually quite good, the best ones i have to say, kind of "Hogwards student simulator" type. A very good combat was implemented, personally i played it with a mouse, you had to hold down either left or right mouse buttons and either move your mouse vertically/horizontally/clockw ise/anticlockwise. Basically each spell was binded with some combination. One great thing, you can really feel that disadvantage when you are fighting 3 v 1. To be honest it's not just a combat system, you have to use it even when you are not in combat. Spells like reparo to repair something, or use flames against plants that block the way, or leviosa to get something. Really suggest you give those games a chance, they even have chess if you are into that.
Well, the 7th part 1 and 2 are basically generic 3rd person shooters and well, are probably the worst
Finally there is the Quidditch game. One of the best sports games i have to say.
Unfortunately it's impossible to get them legally anymore. They aren't on digital distribution, i guess cause EA lost the rights to the Harry Potter license. Well, i guess you may find the recent 5th and 6th for consoles. But the Quidditch game will be hard to find. So i suggest just cough* ARRR!! cough*
The first 2 (And maybe the third one) were alright. After that, they went to the crapper.
You have a world with so much lore. A world filled loveable characters and a thrilling story.
How do you mess it up?
EA messes everything up, I cannot name a single game that they have not ran into the ground.
Still remember the PS1 games of Harry Potter , they were totally the best
i also hope to see MOH series back to the PS1 era style
Because we care about our readers, Cheat Code Central has put together a list of games that you should probably avoid. If you pick up one of these titles anyway, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Oh. Yet another list.
Oh... It's another top 10 worst games list...
Heh, modern journalism.
they are all kinect aswell lol, odd that wii has better bad games than the kinect haha
These aren't the worse games around. And as rentals go, Terminator wasn't an atrocious game.
None of these games are even "worthy" of such a list . The underlying issue with such sh*tty list , is that they'll always only refer to somewhat known or popular obvious titles
My problem with DOAX2 was that it put more emphasis on building and maintaining relationships than the sporting activities it supposed to be about. I man, what the .... does relationships have to do with sports especially the individual sports? I'm trying to play sports.
Bomberman: Act Zero? It really broke my heart to see what this once-respected IP devolved into. It made me despise the XBox 360 and the PS3 and its owners and developers for their rabid demand for "realistic" characters/graphics.
