Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 Game Review


J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series has been staple of the last decade, as was the movie franchise that appeared in theaters around the world, but, unfortunately, the video games based on them haven't exactly found their audience.

Now, with the last installment of the movie hitting cinemas across the world, in the form of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Electronic Arts, together with its Bright Light studio, decided to release one last hurrah in terms of Harry Potter video games, bearing the same name and released this week for a variety of platforms, including the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii or DS.



So, is the newest Harry Potter game a worthy installment or should it be forgotten, alongside many, many, many other titles that were based on movies and disappointed horribly? Let's find out.

Harry Potter is back ...


... and so are his friends


StoryThe story of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is pretty much the same as the one from the movie, with famous wizard Harry Potter, together with his friends, Hermione and Ron, needing to destroy the last remaining Horcruxes before the evil Voldemort gains enough power to destroy the world.

Throughout this journey, you get to control Harry Potter, of course, as well as quite a few other characters, from Ron or Hermione to secondary ones like Seamus Finnigan, Ginny or Molly Weasley, all of which need to face off against Voldemort and his army of Death Eaters.

The game's narrative is straightforward enough, scrapping the side quests from the Deathly Hallows Part 1, instead just having players explore all the environment and uncovering secret items that unlock special challenges, music tracks or characters that can be accessed from the menu.

Seeing as how it sticks quite close to the story of the movie, the campaign is pretty short, clocking in at around 6 hours, but it doesn't outstay its welcome through prolonged battles or things like that.
