Finally, I finished playing LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7. It took me a while. Why? Because it was kinda lame. This one did not live up to LEGO standards as far as game play, good but not great. 6/10
As I have mentioned, the controls of the game are lacking compared to Years 1-4. In a way, could not really get into the game as I did with Years 1-4. Felt like I was completing the game just to complete it...and so I can complain about it here. When you create a great game like the first one, it is hard not to compare the two. I waited a while before I got these games, hoping they would combine the two, as they did with the LEGO Star Wars. Based on how different the two Potter games are, this can never happen.
It seems the main focus on Years 5-7 is dueling. About 25% of the game is dueling...boring dueling. You have to dueling against about fifty characters to get your 100% game completion. How boring is it? After about five duels, you pretty much figure out how to beat anyone. Spoiler alert: All you need to do is keep blocking their shots...uh, spells...and wait for them to make a mistake. Boring!
As for the rest of the game, the levels, or books and chapters, do not seem as thought out, and a lack of puzzle solving. I am wondering how the games would have played if I got them on another system. Really, the use of the stylus and microphone was simply genius.
Hoping to get my hands on LEGO Batman 2.
