Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Not bad...

for a movie game. I never gave much of the other potter games too much time although i am a big fan of the books and the movies. The game is certainly different from its predecessors and is a big step forward, you use your thumb stick to recreate the wand motions in order to pull off certain spells which works rather well. plus you get to explore a huge interactive Hogwarts, a couple of camera problems and the game is a little short probably cause it is based off the movies, i would like to see a series of potter games in the same control scheme as this, but based of the books which offer much more material than the movies, the games story assumes that you know what is going on so it really only hits the high points of the movie's story, but very good for a movie game. Other than that, even the spell casting is pretty cool and as interactive as you can get without a wii-mote, the spell list was pretty limited compared to all the different spells in the movies and books, a solid three out of five, a four out of five if you a big potter fan.
