Nintendo Life writes: "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince certainly improves on its predecessor in many ways; it's visually more arresting and there's more variety to the gameplay. Sadly, the addition of the potion-making class and Quidditch hasn't really granted the game the depth it probably deserves, and those of you that disliked Order of the Phoenix are unlikely to be swayed by this sequel; it's essentially more of the same, with a different plotline underpinning the action. It's aided by the fact that it's based on what is arguably a more exciting and epic book than its forerunner was, and if you consider yourself to be potty over Potter then you'll be spellbound by this. It's just a shame that this feels more like a continuation rather than a fully-fledged enhancement".
