Lego Harry Potter (Xbox 360, Ps3 Versions)

Well better get started on some reviewing.
I bought this game second hand from my local game shop, not really expecting much from it. Don't get me wrong I love Harry Potter and everything about it, but in my mind the 2 didnt really add up. But First impressions WOW! What a game this is, don't care if its for 3+ I would buy this game if I was 34. Its brillant, it has everything you could want from this sort of game. A lot of play time and load of unlockable features you can strive to unlock. Once you pick this game up you wont be able to put it down untill you have the full 100% completion. The gameplay is sweet and flowing and the graphics look marvelous, considering everything is made out of lego. And trust me I have been to Legoland, and not even the real place looks as good as this game.
The game supports 2 player co-op and surprisingly its not much fun during the actual campaign, but this is made up for because of the amount of bonus level's within the game you can complete with a mate. Plus the fact you can build a level togther. The one thing which also gets up in ma grill is the fact that if you move away from your friend the screen splits into 2, at first it was cool, now its really annoying.
I can't really rate the sound because the characters don't speak at all. Yup thats right at all. You have to deal with grunts, and gestures. But this is alright if you have seen the films you know what happening anyway.
The controls are really easy and fun to use, the ownly problem is that it can take a while to find the right spell you need to select, and by the time you find it a dementor has killed you. Nice.

So overall this is a lego game you should not underestimate. Its has great gameplay and a load of extra things you can do to burn some time, the graphics are sweet and you will relish your time at hogwarts.This is mainly a game for fans of the films and people who can't get enough wizard in thier lives. But the co-op aint great and it could be improved.

Gameplay- 4/5
Graphics- 4/5
Co-op- 2.5/5
Controls- 3/5
Overall verdict- 4/5
