LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 (Xbox 360)

OVERVIEW A brilliant game for Harry Potter & Lego game fans. POSITIVES + Explore Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley and many many more familiar locations! + Play as all your favourite Harry Potter characters + Cast all your well known spells in the first four stories + Immerse yourself in the story as you play along as your favourite characters + Get lost (in a good way) in the magically astounding Hogwarts NEGATIVES - Selecting spells is not quite as easy as using the force was in Lego Star Wars - The hub of the game (Hogwarts/Diagon Alley) is not as easily navigatable as the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars (see edit) However, the negatives are only small things and any Harry Potter fans will love this game. Edit 03-08-11: Having played the game a lot more now, I have to say it is more fantastic than I originally thought! Hogwarts is huge and whilst this initially seemed a negative as it was quite daunting and easy to get lost, it is actually a blessing because there is so much to do in Hogwarts alone that you forget about the actual levels! Trying to hunt down every character and red and gold bricks is lots of fun, and you are definitely getting your money's worth! Hours of fun game time, assuming you don't just do the levels and then quit! If you are a huge Potter fan, you will adore exploring Hogwarts and seeing all the cool touches they've included from the books (or not, in some cases, like the Hufflepuff common room!). I play the game alone, however I have done previous games on Coop mode and know how enjoyable that can be too! In conclusion, this game is definitely the best of the LEGO games so far. Bring on Years 5-7!

Good value and arrived quickly and good intro game for a 7 year old for xbox if you can get him off fifa11

The lego video games have enchanted me from the first moment I picked up Lego Star wars original trilogy and this instalment is no different. As a fan of the Harry Potter franchise, I couldn't wait to play this game and wasn't disappointed. I found the controls fairly easy and intuitive and really liked the quick select option for the spells. There were hints around for the less experienced or younger gamer to prevent too much frustration. The game was fairly quick to play from beginning to end and is rather linear for some tastes. i completed it in a few short hours, but fear not. For the completionists among us this only finished the game to about 35% total. To get 100% completion you had to attain "true wizard" level of stud collection, collect pieces of house crests, red bricks, gold bricks and character tokens. This is achievable by replaying the levels in the story mode again and choosing alternative characters, or by selecting free play. In story mode, true to Travellers Tales M.O., the cut scenes convey the bones of the story with no dialogue but with a liberal sprinkling of humour and farce. I thoroughly recommend this game and to that end, pretty much all of the Travellers Tales' previous forays into Lego video games.

Another great lego game. Does have a habit of freezing occasionally, which is frustrating but overall I really enjoy playing this. So much to do after you have completed the main story levels.

I was doubtful id like it because I'm such a harry potter fan and was like harry potter and Lego don't go but my gosh it had me in fits of laughter like the introduction video where Dumbledore is talking to a cat and professor McGonagall is next to him like wtf and Harrys letters are coming put of the toaster and the cuckoo clock, its so comical to say they aren't talking. Good quality too

Came with wrong game in it..

ok

this is a fun game that is really good for kids, not too challenging but not so easy that they breeze through it too quickly or get board
