Manufacturer's Description
In “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defences’ and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.
Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Fun:
Well, this is a bit of a shame. Its OK and a bit of fun but could have been a lot better.
Firstly, the duelling is great. In fact, I would give it 5/5. But the rest of the game is not as much fun. The activities are very similar (brewing potions begins to get annoying after you've done a few). A lot of the time you just watch cut scenes as the story unfolds and then you are told exactly what to do and when. They are clubs you can join but you seem to spend most of the time following other people. Hardly captures the character of Harry does it?
The graphics are very good and it has a polished if slightly rushed feel. I think a little more time could have gone into the storyline side - give Harry more freedom and choice.
Overall, not a disaster. Great bit of fun, but over priced I think. Try to spend less that £20 and you might enjoy it.

Fun:
This game has some things going for it but it also has several flaws. Firstly the story element is VERY short. It was quite an anticlimax to realize I had finished it. The second aspect is related to this - it is for me the easiest of the Harry Potter games so far - no real challenge to finish the story. Get lost and one click will summon Nearly Headless Nick to lead you to your objective. Finally while the scenery and location graphics are great the characters all look as though they have mumps and move in a very wooden manner.
Besides the excellent scenery graphics there are other good things to do. Even when the story is finished you can still make potions, duel and collect shields. Having finished the game I only have 43 out of 150 shields so I guess I should soldier on. It would however have been more of a challenge I think if moving on to the next stage of the story required a certain level of achievement in these side tasks.
Harry Potter fans will enjoy this but it could have been so much better.

Fun:
Whatever happened to the Harry Potter games? The first couple in the series were fantastic puzzle-based adventure games. But this is a dismal game.
It is very boring, you spend most of your time trying to find your way around the incredible complicated castle. There is no map to help you all that you can do is summon Nearly Headless Nick to lead you to wherever you want to be - which is annoying as this means you either opt to attempt to explore the castle and find your own way only to find yourself completely lost or you get led by the hand to the door of the place you need to be.
The gameplay is very dull just leading you from one simple task to the next. Whenever there is an interesting bit it cuts to video and you just get to sit and watch the action unfold.
The duelling requires no skill and the game can be completed simply by clicking manically whenever a duel is required.
There are no side tasks whatsoever except for collecting shields which isn't half as much fun as collecting Bertie Bott's Beans was. Playing this game just made me yearn for the fun, excitement and challenge of the earlier games in the series.
A complete waste of money. Instead watch the film and then buy either Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PC CD) or Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (PC CD)which were both excellent.
