Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This is, by far, the best Harry Potter game to date. The graphics were good, Hogwarts was spectacular to look at, and the open ended feel of the game was nice. Casting spells was a bit different in regards to different movements by the right stick are what casts a spell rather than a button. Took a while to get the hang of, but once you've started leveling up, casting becomes easier and more powerful. My only complaint is that there could have been much more in the way of spell fighting and dueling, but when you did have to duel, it was very fun and entertaining. In the later Harry Potter's, there is more spell fighting than The Order had, so my hopes for this game in the future are bolstered immensely.

For a big movie title like Harry Potter, I expected much more out of the game which now holds the record for spending the least time in my disc tray since Tenhcu Z. The Camera is by far the worst part, becuase camera control is shared with wand control..bad idea, when I want a better view of the court yard I end up casting a bunch of spells. Everything else was moderate...nothing I would cheer for, but nothing I would shun the game for.
