Harry Potter Lego Xbox 360 Game Review

You’ll find in this game a great balance between being able to freely roam to diving right into story mode that is guided by your headless ghost companion, Nick. While in and around Hogwarts you can roam and explore this fascinating world as much as you like, giving you the ability to return to the story mode at your own pace.

Harry Potter years 1-4 covers the first four books of Harry Potter and a lot of effort has been made to cover the details. From Hogwarts to the laughable characters this game doesn’t veer far from the world that we are all to familiar with. You’ll relive all of your favorite moments from the Harry Potter books and even get a chance to fly on a broomstick in a game of Quidditch!

Harry and his friends advance in this game by solving puzzles, learning and casting spells, and defeating your favorite hideous villains that you’ve come to love to hate. Strategy comes to play when you have to choose the right character to cast the right spells in puzzles. But, the real challenge comes in learning and finding the different spells for each character. Each spell you learn can be used the duration of the game and adds a new dimension to the game play and story.

As Harry and his friends move through the story, the world of Hogwarts seem to open up and come alive. Doors that were once locked opens to new adventures and more secrets become dispelled. One of Harry’s main objectives in the game is to free trapped kids in each level which can lead to some hysterical moments. Harry also earns studs which is the games currency. Harry can purchase new characters, spells, costumes, and other items in Diagon Alley with these stud points.

By far I would say, that this is the most visually pleasing and realistic LEGO game to date. Even though the level of difficulty is easy, the game play will keep you and a friend busy for hours as you cast and learn spells and solve puzzles. And after you beat this game you’ll want to come back and find new challenges and characters you might have missed the first go around.

If there was one slight drawback from this Harry Potter adventure it would be the amount of glitches. However, the glitches won’t stop or freeze the action. With that being said, I wouldn’t call it the glitches a game changer. This is a game, I believe, the whole family could enjoy especially if everyone in the family loves Harry Potter. I give this game a 3 out of 4.
