Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Okay so I love Harry Potter, I've read all the books and watched all the movies and well the movies were really good up until the fourth adaption. This is actually my first Harry Potter game and ineed it was fun to play as Harry but my god this game was frustrating. From the controls and the stupid camera angles this game puts you in are absolutely horrendous. Graphics are decent at best but nothing special and this game was way too short. There was barely any challenge in the game at all which I guess I can live with seeing how I wanted to end this as quickly as possible. The story in this game was the worst part of it to me. I thought the movie was cut up but this is worse! If you don't follow the books or the movies how do you make sense of this game? I really dont understand why they can't take their time with games like these because there's so much more freedom in making a game than a movie. It's a shame really that these things get rushed out this quickly and people pay full price, it really is.

Pretty good game overall. It stuck to the book for the most part. It is kind of difficult to move objects with magic sometimes. Also aiming can be difficult. The mixing of potions can be a problem especially when you have to shake the ingrediant.
