Neither looks particularly great, but the school is pretty well done. Some random things like none of the staircases moving make it feel kind of static and non magical, though. As an adventure game, you'd think Half-Blood Prince would be very story driven. There was a reason JK Rowling didn't write out every detail of Harry and gang's day to day lives: school is boring. Yet, 90 percent of this game seems to take place in the unspoken sections of the book. Nearly every major plot point happens via a cutscene.
Unfortunately by cutscene I mean shot of every character standing still like a mannequin while you get to read word bubbles. I understand that the only people playing this game are likely to be fans of the book and movie. That said, the plot is incomprehensible. The game comes out weeks before the film, so it's likely people will be playing it before they go see the movie. And this story is good too. Horcuxes, curses, memory flashbacks, insight into Voldemort's past, some cool battles.
All of that is lost. Hey remember that part in the book where Harry ran all over school, finding Luna's shoes? Or when he had to play a game of marbles so that he could give them to that Hufflepuff girl? Oh that's right, because stupid stuff like that didn't happen. Sorry to geek out on you Muggles, but this is Harry flipping Potter, here! The Dark Lord returns and is trying to kill him, the prophesied savior of the magic realm, and the video game version of his story is a string of meaningless fetch quests?
The developers could have at least given me an option not to accept these inane quests. Maybe right under the "Swap Items" button there could have been one that said, "I'm the Boy who Lived you tool, I don't have time for this! What is even more baffling is how big of a step backward this game is. Granted the previous Harry Potter game was a series of chores, but you were at least doing things.
You used spells to fix objects and extinguish fires. The only thing Harry ever seems to use spells for is collecting trading cards and butterbeer. The mini-games are in there solely to collect items needed for all the fetch quests.
Oh, and most of them are really non magical. Gobstones is marbles only… no it's just marbles. Not magic marbles or anything. Sign Up Guest Checkout. You've added the item to your cart. Win A Game A Day! Try now! Checkout Login. Welcome Nintendo DS. All Items Available Items.
