Angry Joe is going to need all the magical spells he can conjure up in order to survive his trip to Hogwarts Castle in the world of Harry Potter The Video Game. Can the chosen one break the movie licensed game curse?
No major Harry Potter game has been released since 2011. Are they gone forever or can we expect new ones to return to loyal Harry Potter fans?
Sadly not much. Hopefully they can make some good Harry Potter games. I loved Lego Harry Potter games
Most of them were loosely based on the films.Now that there's no more movies being made for the time being, I don't see a new Harry Potter game releasing anytime soon.
Sorcerer's Stone and Order of the Phoenix were a blast to play because of their explorative nature. Goblet of Fire was another good one too, many good times with the co-op on that one.
They became trash after Chamber of Secrets and Quidditch World Cup. The Lego games were fun though.
EA takes a lot of stick. The company is frequently attacked by outlets across the industry for what is perceived as negative and in some cases manipulative business practices. Whether right, or wrong, this perception has stuck with the company for a long time (they remain the only business in the world to win the coveted Worst Company in America ‘Award’ two years in a row) and based on their treatment of the Harry Potter franchise, it’s easy to see why!
Harry Potter and Chambre of Secrets for PS2 is one of my favorite games from childhood, was the game good ?
I actually liked the Harry Potter games but all of the games were basically the same thing over and over again. Run through the castle, do tasks, collect stuff. It's typical EA, they don't have many new ideas. They just pick up the rights to make certain games and make the same game over and over again. Look at their sports games.
Also, i have been a big fan of Simpsons games but since EA got the rights to make those games all we have had is a game that come out after the movie and a mobile game. That is crap. I would love another Simpsons game, before EA took over we had loads of them.
Well, the first 3 games involved a lot of platforming, most of the time you had to collect items thoughts the level to complete it, like collect 10 stars etc. to be honest, despite playing them when i was a kid, i don't really have any love for them in my heart. For me they are mediocre and frustrating. The soundtrack is great though, was composed by Jeremy Soule(cough* skyrim cough*).
4th game was more like the lego games Warner Bros makes. Despite all the hate it got, it's still quite decent.
5th and 6th are actually quite good, the best ones i have to say, kind of "Hogwards student simulator" type. A very good combat was implemented, personally i played it with a mouse, you had to hold down either left or right mouse buttons and either move your mouse vertically/horizontally/clockw ise/anticlockwise. Basically each spell was binded with some combination. One great thing, you can really feel that disadvantage when you are fighting 3 v 1. To be honest it's not just a combat system, you have to use it even when you are not in combat. Spells like reparo to repair something, or use flames against plants that block the way, or leviosa to get something. Really suggest you give those games a chance, they even have chess if you are into that.
Well, the 7th part 1 and 2 are basically generic 3rd person shooters and well, are probably the worst
Finally there is the Quidditch game. One of the best sports games i have to say.
Unfortunately it's impossible to get them legally anymore. They aren't on digital distribution, i guess cause EA lost the rights to the Harry Potter license. Well, i guess you may find the recent 5th and 6th for consoles. But the Quidditch game will be hard to find. So i suggest just cough* ARRR!! cough*
The first 2 (And maybe the third one) were alright. After that, they went to the crapper.
You have a world with so much lore. A world filled loveable characters and a thrilling story.
How do you mess it up?
EA messes everything up, I cannot name a single game that they have not ran into the ground.
Still remember the PS1 games of Harry Potter , they were totally the best
i also hope to see MOH series back to the PS1 era style
PS3 Attitude: "Introducing a new weekly feature, in which PS3 Attitude takes an irreverent* look at the world of gaming. Today we’re discussing five sequels that, if we had our way, would never have seen the light of day; although, in a way we’re glad they did, because otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to write this article.
*At least 37% of the following is probably incorrect."
I would give you 10 speech bubbles for that comment if I had the power lol. DA2 is just horrible lol.
If it's a role playing game that needs to be on the list my vote is for Final Fantasy X-2. It was like a Japanese Charlie's Angels.
Why the hell should DA2 be on the list. The first one was a blast, the second one wasn't as good as the first but could still hold it's own. I didn't think DA2 was great by any stretch of the imagination, but I had fun with it, and the majority of reviewers agreed. If DA2 was released on it's own without the first to compare it too, no one would have said boo about it because as a stand alone rpg, it wasn't bad. It's only crime was it wasn't as good as the original. I've seen plenty of rpg's come out worse than DA2 but none seem to merit the hate that DA2 receives.
Yes... erasing standards is good for the gaming industry /sarcasm
DA 2 was a bit of a misstep compared to Origins, but there were some good things about it. The plot was more grounded and had applicability; not to mention it was a great cave simulator.
SAME HERE!! All 4 One was a great addition to the series, I don't see why these guys are hating on it. I'm a good ways through it now with a buddy of mine online, and it's loads of fun. The co-op "things" (dunno the correct word here), make it a lot of fun.
I think they are looking at this game like the other games, which is an incorrect way of looking at it. It's different, and if you play with a good friend whom also loves the series, it will be great. I haven't played by myself outside of the very first level, so I don't know of the AI problems.
duke nukem was the worst!!!! And what with 10 years in development.. Pathetic game.
