Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix The Harry Potter series of
books has captured both the minds of children and adults alike. The
movies haven't disappointed either and are amongst the highest grossing
films of all time. For some reason, the video games that have been
released alongside the movies haven't been able to reach the same level
of quality that the movies and books have achieved. The latest game,
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, continues that trend.
There's a faithful re-creation of the Hogwarts campus to explore, but
once you've seen the sights, there's not much else to do. Even the most
diehard Potter fans will grow tired of seeing the grand staircase as
they return from their umpteenth fetch quest.
Order of the
Phoenix follows the story of the book and the movie of the same name.
After narrowly avoiding expulsion for using magic in front of a muggle,
Harry finds that Hogwarts' new defense against the dark arts teacher
seems to have it out for him. To make matters worse, Voldemort is
threatening to rear his ugly mug again, and Harry fears that the school
will be unable to defend itself. With the help of Ron and Hermione,
Harry rallies the students together to form Dumbledore's Army in an
effort to ready them for a fight against the dark lord. This all makes
perfect sense if you've read the book, but the story's exceedingly
difficult to follow if you haven't read it because vast segments of the
story are told via brief full-motion video cutscenes and newspaper
clippings. It's easy to understand how a three-hour movie might have to
leave bits and pieces out, but it's puzzling that an eight-hour game
can't tell even the most basic aspect of the story.
Later in the
game, you'll learn combat spells. These are cast in the same way as
noncombat spells and mostly use the same patterns. But there will only
be a few instances where you'll need to perform these combat spells
because there's hardly any dueling in the game. This is probably a good
thing because the combat isn't very good, and it's tough to tell if
you're actually hitting someone. Even during the last fight, you just
stand there casting the same spell over, waiting for a cutscene to
signify the end of the battle.
Once you've learned some basic spells, it's off to Hogwarts, which is faithfully re-created in a game for the first time.
