This kind of game is quite difficult to produce as it has to follow the storyline of the actual movie. The developers have successfully created the story and the characters to closely depict the movie. Everything you see in the movie is there.
For fans of Harry Potter it will be an interesting and exciting experience to finally play the game that made the movie so popular. Gringotts Bank and Hogwarts will be present just like in the movie. You can play any key character you fancy. The characters are realistic and have the familiarity of that in the movie, so you will feel comfortable with this game.
If you read the book you may find it's more of an adventure with sporadic bits of action. The book was riveting and no one can actually criticize it. But in the game there is so much action, you won't have time to take a breather. Every level and scene is filled with intense action no matter which character you choose to play.
The levels are challenging but not too difficult so it's not frustrating at all. You will love progressing from one level to the next in record time in this fast paced action version of Harry Potter. You need to avoid the death squads as you shoot at your enemies. Many obstacles stand in your way, but if you play wisely they won't present any real problem. The spells are easy to overcome if you use your head.
The shooting and action is really enjoyable. You can never tire of it, no matter how repetitive it becomes after a while. Some of the weapons in your arsenal are similar to those of a sniper's rifle, machine gun, rocket launcher, grenade, or explosives. Many shooters lack depth, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is something that has an element of excitement throughout the game. The death eaters are always present and can become a bit of a nuisance as they inhibit your progress. You may prefer to face other opponents after a while. There is not a variety of enemies and every level provides more of the same.
The movements of the characters are a bit mechanical and you would wish they were more human. This is a result of the game engine employed and the developers could certainly have done more to improve it. The ghosts don't move smoothly as they float around. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is not the most exciting thing since sliced bread and although it's entertaining and fun, and sometimes laughable, it does a good job of the story.
Once you finish the game, there's not much incentive to re-play it again. But you would have loved finishing it and being able to tell your friends' about it. You can unlock other hidden features and collect things that are not generally available and some may find this exciting, but it doesn't contribute much to the end result.
It's well worth your time to play the game nevertheless so keep looking for a copy if you haven't found one yet.
