Advantages: Use of the wii remote, fun duelling activities

Disadvantages: Short game, easy to finish, not able to partake in all main parts of the story.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is the game that is based on the book and primarily the film. The difference between this game on the wii to other consoles, is the way in which you can use the control. The wii remote is used as a wand and different movements will cast different spells. This made the game a lot more entertaining especially when you are duelling as you can get very involved.

Apart from the controls, the game was a bit of a disappointment. The game seemed centred around duelling, making potions and quidditch. Although these were fun, I wanted more within the game. The part where I thought would be very entertaining was when Dumbledore and Harry leave Hogwarts to look for a horcrux. This turned out to be the biggest disappointment. The game merely showed you what was happening for the most part, as was the case with so many events. It was easy to finish the game but to make it more challenging they do have different difficulty settings.

As with the other games, you are allowed to roam the school where there are different duelling clubs to join and a potions club. You have to hep out students to earn shields. You have to try and get all shields throughout the school. This makes roaming round he school have more of a purpose.

Overall, I think this is a good game for light entertainment. The best parts of the game would be the different duels especially with characters such as Bellatrix Lestrange. Even though this game is easy to finish, it is enjoyable mainly because of the way you use the wii remote.

Summary: This game is like an average game based on a film. Not for proper gamers.
