LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Playstation 3)
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Playstation 3) Reviews
We have bought all the Lego games on various formats and have been happy with them all. Harry Potter years 1-4 is just as entertaining as the rest. As with the others, it isn't extremely challenging for older audiences but for younger children it's perfect. It is fun for all ages. The story being told throughout the game is really cute and funny too. It follows the general storyline of the movies but adds its own humorous twist to certain parts. Any child, who has been a fan of the Harry Potter books and movies will be very entertained by this game.
Lego Harry Potter definitely shocked me. I've enjoyed the Lego games over the years (Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman, Lego Indiana Jones), but I would never label them as unbelievable games. This, however, rings true for Harry Potter. It's very immersive and the environments are incredible. For a Lego game, it's extremely well detailed and the graphics are very smooth.
In all of the lego games you get a hub, or a headquarters, with which you base your "operations" from. You go here to purchase new Lego characters, bonuses, look at videos, or if you just want a break from the action. In Star Wars, it was the Tatooine Cantina. In Batman, it was the Batcave. In Harry Potter, it's the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley. Trust me the hub in this game makes it all worth it (especially if you're a Harry Potter fan). You can go in a room in the Leaky Cauldron, you can check out Ollivander's Wand Shop, Quality Quidditch Supplies, Madame Malkins (where you can purchase new characters or create one of your own), or Gringott's bank. This right here is truly what makes this a Harry Potter fan's dream.
The action in the game is all very fun. You can go to classes to learn spells, you can brew potions in Snape's dungeon, or you can play around on the Quidditch field. You do all of this while following the events of the 4 movies. The boss fights are fun and much better than previous entries in the Lego Franchise.
All in all this is a great family game. It is also (in my opinion) the best Lego game yet released, and by far the best Harry Potter game ever made. If you're a fan of either Lego or Harry Potter, you're doing yourself an injustice by not purchasing this game.
Its such a great game! This is the first Lego Game I have played. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and its nice that they fallowed the movies pretty well.
