Harry potter and the half blood prince review

Harry potter and the half blood prince is the sixth Harry Potter game and is probably the best one that I have played so far, the reason I say this is because I have not yet played the deathly hallows part one.

Gameplay

The gameplay improves with every game but in this game it is as fluent as ever. Also, the storyline is really interesting and it definitely kept me playing until the very end unlike order of the phoenix. However, when you complete the half blood prince you end up back in Hogwarts and there is no other missions to complete all you can do is collect Hogwarts crests and duel at the duelling club, even though collecting crests can get you achievements and trophies it does get kind of boring after doing it for a long time and it can sometimes be frustrating when you can’t reach a certain crest because it is too high.

Missions

As I said in the last paragraph the missions are very enjoyable and kept me going until the end but some of the missions are completely random for example when you have to go and make a potion for Ginny and when you end up fighting one of Malfoy’s henchmen whilst on your way to quidditch practice with Katie Bell. That is the only downside to this game which is much better than harry potter five because there was loads of downsides to that.

Achievements and trophies

The achievements and trophies in this game are not very story focused, most of them are to do with the Hogwarts crests and the badges that you can get such as the duelling club beginner badge and the potion master badge so I was not as focused on getting the trophies in this game as I am in the other games I play.

Graphics

The graphics in this game are amazing and if I had to rate this game of graphics alone then I would give it 10/10. The characters are so life like and it is obvious that the developers payed close attention to the details in the film concerning the characters facial and body features for example the black mark on Dumbledore’s finger from the horchrux ring is exactly like it is in the film Harry’s scar is also exact!

Final opinion

In conclusion, I would rate this game 8/10 because it is an excellent game and it has very little faults.
