Electronic Arts and Warner Bros. Harry Potter fans bring the end of 2008, a magical experience. The video game Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was published simultaneously on the same movie. Hogwarts awake to life and lets players interact in the magical world around the young wizard as authentic as never before experienced. "With Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, we will set new benchmarks for the implementation of video game movies," said Harvey Elliott, Head of EA's studios in the UK. "We rely on the technological advances of the previous Harry Potter games and put on with particular attention to the unique capabilities of the Nintendo Wii console. In addition, the team works closely with the filmmakers to create a realistic interactive experience, the history , captures the action, excitement and of course the entertainment of the film. "

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort's cruel impact felt more strongly, and Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven. Together, Harry and his friends set about deciphering secret of Voldemort's piece by piece. At the same play at Hogwarts to make matters worse, even the crazy hormones. Harry felt more and more drawn to Ginny while Hermione is jealous of Ron's love affairs. Love is in the air, but also to pave tragedies.

In the video game Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the player returns to Hogwarts to help Harry, there are his sixth year at the school. We must deny exciting duels to concoct magical ingredients and lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory on a broom. In his adventurous journey through the castle, the player may be distracted even by Ron's romantic entanglements of love and turmoil, as he tries to decipher the true identity of the Half-Blood Prince. Besides, she set includes the original voice actors from the film, as well as those who did the dubbing in their respective regions, to maintain unity with the film. During an interview, the developers told us that the scenes of dialogue, unlike previous editions of this series, took much of its direction and camera change what was done in "Mass Effect", while the mini games make potions and wizards duels originally raised with the Wii version in mind, which could explain how it is that they feel somewhat forced and awkward in editions for other home consoles.

Graphically, we must recognize that the degree far outstrips the previous editions of Harry Potter, even on the Wii, where you can see that they subjected to the Cube 1.5 for that resemble visual experience that is in the Xbox 360. Still, the title does not cease to be a general adaptation of a movie more than Harry Potter, and even with the return of Quidditch games and an ambitious production that seeks to increasingly realistic world of the English magician, no nothing to ensure that "Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince" not be forgotten once you're done ... or leave in its wake. Sure, if we consider that this is a production of Electronic Arts, I think that's more than expected.

Game Plot --------

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort felt more strongly influence both the cruel Muggle than even in the wizarding world and Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven. As Harry suspects also threatened danger in the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for his decisive battle that seems to not be too far away. Together they set about deciphering secret of Voldemort's piece by piece, and they manage to get an old friend and colleague of Dumbledore for their cause: bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn who has many contacts and may even conceal some important information. Meanwhile, the students have for a very different kind of need to fight, because in the castle of love is here to stay, and the hormones play literally crazy. Harry felt more and more drawn to Ginny, but since he is not the only thing is, because Dean Thomas expressed interest ... Lavender Brown has been madly in love with Ron and pursues her ambitious goal, but she has not reckoned with Romilda Vane. And then there's Hermione, which is extremely jealous of Ron's love affairs, but fiercely determined not to let their feelings to say. One student, however, has little to do with the general sentimentality in his hat. Rather, he is determined to set an example - in the form of the Dark Mals! Love is in the air, but also pain and tragedy are not far away. Will Hogwarts unscathed this turbulent time?

Thus, as in "Half-Blood Prince, Hogwarts from EA we no longer see. The following year, Harry Potter to leave school and go in search of artifacts, in which the soul of Volan de Mort. Seventh, the final book - not about the classes, and magic academy - just a backdrop for an epic battle between good and evil. And after a year license for mass production wizards will return to the Warner Bros. In the meantime, get ready to fly on a broomstick, mixing reagents in a bowler hat and waving a stick.

Quidditch, alchemy and magic duel. Three arcades, diluted clumsy rollers and bonuses from all that glitters - in the opinion of EA Bright Light, they took Harry in the sixth year stay at Hogwarts. If you are familiar with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix  , Long explanations unnecessary. Erecting a seamless world for the previous game, the authors used it again, several new areas. Despite the impressive scope, getting lost is still difficult - Nearly Headless Nick will be much faster than any "Marauder's Map."

Yes, and there is little reason to wander the neighborhood, except that someone else likes to find the 150 emblems Hogwarts, scattered in the corners. In between the scenic mini-games we offer exactly the same, only optional. Was the best duelists Gryffindor - hold an honorary medal and an increase in their health. Those who will overcome the three faculty will gather a complete set of medals for Potions and not die of boredom, establishing a record in the games' passage through more than 20 rings, waiting for a hike in Hogsmid. However, there is nothing to do.
In general, for that EA struggled out and bumped. On the one hand its close stingy events film by David Yates (David Yates), on the other - the literary source tosses "fleshbeki" through the head. After the fifth part of its intrigue, the underground circles and diktatorshey in a skirt, memories of childhood and adolescence, Tom Riddle, albeit damn important to the denouement, not turn into a fascinating gameplay. I can not insert gag - Licensing Division of Warner Bros. vigilantly monitors the chickens.

However, these developers are unlikely to have included a fantasy - exceedingly lazy. After drawing a square blocks of wheat for the Wii and PlayStation 2, they drag them on other platforms with wooden gestures and "glyuchaschey" mimicry. And be honest: the owners of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are suffering along with the PC audience. The only difference in management. Mouse conveniently turn the camera on and steered the broom, a standard gamepad is good for reading spells, Wii remote is better in dealing with all the ingredients for medicines.
