Review by Mr Hibbz for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Wii)

I love this game. The recreation of hogwarts is fantastic and awe-inspiring, as you explore and run around the school you feel like you are really there. The use of the wii-mote as the magic wand is great fun as you use it to cast spells to solve mysteries and defeat enemies. Fantastic. There are also some really fun mini-games littered around the school for you to take part in.
The downside of the game is the length – it is far too short and if you put in a serious gaming session you could probably finish it really quickly, especially if you avoid the mini-games and sub-quests. However, I would recommend this game…. buy it for the fun, and when you finish it you can sell it on or trade it in.

I had to do a follow up to the ‘awful review’ because i dont think its deserved. Okay, its not the greatest game ever made and its no Resident Evil, but if you dont want to go around hanging up paintings, fixing things, etc. you dont have to! These are just sub missions to the game which increases its life span. Otherwise the game probably would be over quite quickly. There is alot of running about in the game when you have to build up Dumbledor’s army and get 28 people to the room of requirments, which can get quite boring (hence the little sub-missions of repairing things and actually doing something rather than just running around) but with most of the kids, you have to do a little mini quest, so i found it entertaining enough.
Plus, there are bonuses to doing these pointless tasks, because you become a stronger wizard level and also unlock special bonus videos of the makers and some of the film cast talking about the game. Then again it is quite fun using your wii-mote as a wand anyway
I think its a good game to buy if your a younger gamer or really enjoy harry potter because i think this is the best film-to-game made so far for the wii, especially when you consider Spider Man 3, POTC 3, Silver Surfer were all pretty poor.
Its received good reviews of around 75% from gamespot and similar websites so it isn’t a pile of crap.
If your debating whether to buy it, just give it a quick rent or borrow if from a mate.

+ Lots of running around
+ Quite short if you do not do the sub missions

Surprisingly good game compared to the previous ones. Graphics are good, tasks are fun enough (although can be tedious), controls add another dimension to the gameplay. Other reviewers have said that the controls are awkward when performing spells but I would disagree. I find spells straightforward to perform and this feature is a big positive for the game. I haven’t completed it but there seems to be plenty of things to do and Hogwarts is huge. The only downside to this is that it is easy to get lost. Another annoying thing about the game is Ron and Hermionie who seem to be right behind you all the time and will not shut up. Overall, not the best game on the Wii, but good nonetheless.

When i first played the game i was stunned by the graphics. The way the whole game is manufacture is brilliant. It allows you to do tasks, explore hogwarts, do competions, win trophies and see loads of cool clips on the making of the game and movie when you complete a certain amount of things around Hogwarts.
Well worth your money. I advise you not to listen to the people who complain that the Wii remote does not respond to the spells. Once you get the hang of it, like a real wizard or witch would have to, then its a doddle. And besides, when you collect enough points and get to a high level, your spells become very powerful and the wii rmeote becomes much more sensetive to movements making performing spells easy.
i would definitly buy this if you are a Harry Potter fan or want to try a new type of gaming.

Ah here we are… the summer blockbusters start rolling out and we get the inevitable tie-in game rubbish. So far we’ve had TMNT (pants), SHREK THE THIRD (spare us!) and SPIDER-MAN 3 (Noooooo!) to name but a few. But wait, what’s this? A movie tie-in game that’s a lot more than average? Well bless my Quaffle socks! If indeed Quaffles had socks. Which they, er.. don’t.
If you’ve no idea what Quaffles are then you are indeed no Harry Potter fan so look away now. This game is for those fans who have longed for walking round Hogwarts and wanted to explore at their leisure.
EA have done a wonderful job of bringing the school and characters of JK Rowling’s famous books and films to life. Even though THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX is probably the weakest book in the series, the game is packed full of side quests: from tasks to complete for the teachers, to tokens to collect.
Yep, those tokens. It wouldn’t be a movie game without them. If you’re a Potter fan you’ll love this – the only quarrel is that it is maybe a bit too huge… it’ll have you playing well until the next game is released, which will hopefully be as good as this. Well done, EA!
