Mediocre Harry Potter Games
Ask any young kid or teenager about Harry Potter and chances are pretty slim that they have not heard of him. Harry is not only a pop culture icon now; Harry Potter is also a franchise.
Video games based on the movie have come out and are a pretty good depiction of the Harry Potter universe. But most of these games are a bit of a dissapointment.
Lets look at some of these mediocre Harry Potter games.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The games of course is based on the movie, but there are a couple of slight changes. Nothing that alters the main story too much, though. The biggest part of the game is about exploring. This can be quite boring and repetitive.
The graphics is nothing to be talk about, but they get the job done. The music on the other hand is quite good and fits in with the certain levels you are in.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Hogwarts is where the whole game takes place and it is up to you to explore the game by running and jumping. Of course there are spells that need to be learned and used to solve puzzles.
There are classroom sessions that will teach you new spells to use in the platforming sections. These platforming parts are based on quests where you have to collect items or complete tasks.
The graphics are okay, during the cutscenes the mouths of the characters do not even move.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
The developers have all the tools and data to make a great game. They could have drawn more inspiration from the movie, but they did a okay job on this game. If they had more time they could have made it more fun.
One thing the game developers could have done is tightening up the controls. Nothing is worse then playing a long game with horrible game play and controls. The most horrible function is the lock on mode.
The game play is not a total disaster as the spells are a lot better in the game. The further you progress the better the spells get. The visuals of the game are good but nothing special.
Looking at the most played Harry Potter games, you will start to wonder how much more fun they could have been if the developers spent more time on them.
