The cover art
Based off of the movie, and with hidden pieces from the book equivalent by J. K. Rowling, this video game is great for both casual fans of both the books and the movie. While the movie fan can endeavor in completing the nicely laid-out story line, which closely resembled the movie, hardcore fans of the book can find hints dropped here and there from the books. Easter eggs in this game range from subtle hints to the ruins of Harry's birthplace, which is a section cut from the movie, and added to the game (by option, you have to examine [A] to see the exchange of words between Harry and Hermione). The game itself is more faithful to the book than the movie, overall, and its beautifully rendered graphics immerse the player into the world of Harry and his friends.
One can explore the woods in which the trio hide at the beginning of the movie, the coffee shop in which the trio was ambushed, Grimmauld place, Godric's Hollow, and more in this amazing game. You must battle everything from dementors and acromantulas, to Death Eaters and Voldemort himself! The game is also compatible with Kinnect for the XBOX360.
As the back of the video game reads: Out of Hogwarts and on the run. Fight Voldemort's Death Eaters. Battle terrifying magical creatures. Use Kinnect to cast spells in [twenty two] 22 unique single and two-player challenges.
This game does have an update for those with XBOX Live, and it also has challenges which are connected to XBOX Live leaderboards. So if you want to, be the BAMF wizard you've always wanted to be, and kick some leaderboard behind. Then plaster your name on it. Yup.
To the readers: Excuse me if the graphics are horrible, the graphics are much better. I used a camera to take pictures of the screen, as I don't have the software to take screenshots of the game I run on my XBOX360. Seriously, the pics don't do this game justice. At. All.
