Very Good

Its good but way too short

The game does an amazing job at recreating Hogwarts and the scenery around it. It is a free world game in which you can go anywhere you want. The gameplay is great, and the effort they put into the controls can be seen. The dueling was a favorite of mine because it cool to be able to swing the Wii remote and feel as if you were actually dueling as Harry Potter.

The flaws in this game are not many, but the big one is that it is a very short game. It can be finished in a couple of hours if you don't try to win all the duels and make all the potions, which will only add on an hour. The game would be a 10 if it wasn't for this. I also had a problem with the potion making, because it was repetitive and not that fun, after the 5th time you make one, it starts to be annoying.

Though I would recommend this as a for sure rent but not a buy because the game is too short, and there is no replay replay value.

I was looking at some games and I saw Harry Potter and the half blood prince.And I sed to myself,'' it looks like a good game.''And why I sed that is becuas I like the Harry Potter books and I like shooting games.So i rented it and it took almost no time at all to finish the game I say it was a waste of time.
THE GOOD
the art was good and some of the people that you had to fight are hard.
THE BAD
It hardly flowed the story from the book.And most of the people you had to fight are weak and it took two charged stuptfies to take somebody out.

I got hooked for 2 hours last night playing this game, I found it very enjoyable, once I got use to the controls.

I get sort of into the task at hand, and get a bit annoyed at being challenged to duels everytime I leave the castle but, other than that I had fun playing.

The only thing that I thought was annoying was that when people are talking it looks like they are chewing on their tounges, I think they went to far trying to make it look natural, because I find it annoying. :D

But if your a Harry Potter fan, you'll love this game!!!
