I'm a bit mixed on this game. It's definitely fun, and even has a few things that the movie should have had (I think they based this game off of the book more than the film), but there are some things that irk me.

1. The audio is weird, at least for me. During cut scenes, I can't hear what some characters are saying and have to really turn up my t.v. volume. For example, during a cut scene Hermione and Ron will be talking to Harry about whatever they need to do next. Hermione will sound fine but when Ron speaks, I can only see his mouth moving and have to listen quite hard and turn up the volume to make out what he says. After the cut scene, let's say I immediately get thrown into a fight against Death Eaters. After previously turning up the volume to hear faintly-speaking Ron, my ears are blasted when spells are being thrown about in a fight. Thus, I must pause, adjust my t.v.'s volume, and then continue playing. Anyone else have this problem?

2. The camera gets stuck sometimes and it really irks me. I think everyone has been having this issue with the Wii version of the game.

3. They don't teach you much. For example, when you search Grimmauld place and run into a room filled with doxies, I kept dying because I was never properly taught how to toss doxycide at them. I had to look it up in the handbook and practice it a few times before I got it right.

The same goes for casting spells. The spell wheel isn't bad and doesn't irk me as much as the camera and audio, but it's not my favorite aspect of the game. However, being able to quickly cast protego and expecto patronum is quite nice. Even confundo is lovely to use so your enemies can start turning against each other.

4. Some missions seem quite tedious for me. When Hermione and Ron leave Grimmauld place and say that they're trying to find the best way into the Ministry, you're given 3 of the most random things to complete while they're away: making your way safely out of a dragon's lair, protecting a camp of muggleborns from death eaters and making sure they're not captured, and saving kidnapped muggleborns from death eaters. There's no context or cut scene that explains why you're there.

The same thing goes for what I'm doing now, after having escaped the Ministry and being in the forest. You have to follow Dean and Griphook (although they don't know you're following them) and along the way you go through different scenes and environments that you must pass to continue on. I've been through about 4 of those scenes and I'm getting tired of having to try to "follow" Dean and that goblin. I feel that all of these scenes, along with those missions, are just fillers for something else that they could have included in the game.

Is this my least favorite HP game? This is the first that I have on my Wii, as I have SS on my old Game Boy and COS, POA, OOTP, and HBP for PC, so... I guess it's alright. Since I'm not terribly far into it, I can't rate it completely. But as for now, it's on par with the okay POA game.
