In the game, this translates to Harry wandering aimlessly though one boring set piece after the other, randomly shooting at uniform enemies with spells that show less variety than a season of House.

#Harry potter deathly hallows part 1 123 series#
In the book, Harry has left Hogworts in an attempt to defeat the evil Voldemort, which marks a turning point in the ongoing struggle between good and evil, and a significant bookend to the series as a whole. There are detention camps in Cuba with a higher level of replayability than this.īack on the ground, Harry is gradually introduced to a plot so thin it could get away with a convincing live performance of "We've Only Just Begun". Flying shotgun in Hagrid's dubiously constructed sidecar and blasting Death Eaters is exciting for exactly fourteen seconds, so imagine the joy when you're forced to endure multiple incoming waves over and over whilst shouting "Stupefy" in an annoyingly repetitive fashion. The opening stage prepares the player for the kind of unsatisfying gameplay they're likely to face for the next six hours, or until the sweet, sweet release of death takes them. Anyone with a library card and an afternoon spare could sketch out a fairly compelling narrative to base a game upon, so quite how Deathly Hallows has such a nonsensical plot is completely beyond explanation. You don't have to hire a bunch of experts to create new worlds, languages or themes. You don't have to think up new characters or environments. The punchline here is that it's a Harry Potter game. It's not just that Deathly Hallows is poorly conceived. So convinced of this am I, I've armed myself with our Mafia II desk lamp, which I shall take great pleasure in swinging wildly when Ashton Kutcher or his lesser-paid Kiwi alternate peels off a moustache and glibly points out that this broken, buggy game is the centrepiece in an elaborate set-up. Despite an exhaustive search of GPHQ for hidden pinhole cameras and illicit recording equipment (which managed to find nothing but our copy of Naughty Bear under the sofa after a perfect post-review parabolic flight) it's obvious that Deathly Hallows is cruel attempt to humiliate us for the pleasure of some sick audience somewhere.

FOR MUGGLES: The video game of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is poorly conceived.
