The LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 video game is a wonderful addition to the famous Danish toy manufacturer’s video game lineup. If you love Harry Potter, read the books and watch the movies, and you love LEGO as well, you will truly like the game.
Main Features Of The Game
In the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game, players will be able to exploring the fantastic environs of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learn a wide array of magical spells, brew different potions, as well as relive the adventures of your beloved characters. The game’s story line is also mixed with a humor and customization that’s inherently unique to all LEGO games. The game is based on the first four Harry Potter movies and books, and tells the exciting story of Harry Potter’s first four years at the Hogwarts school. The video game definitely offers an engaging array of magical game play, exciting sequences, and light-hearted humor.
LEGO Brings Harry Potter Alive In A Grand 3D Environment
One of the best attributes of the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game is that it’s LEGO’s most detailed video game ever created, and game’s developers have successfully brought Harry Potter and his crew, along with the other nasty villains, to life in a superb, elegant and engrossing 3D setting. In the video game, you’ll be able to easily switch between Harry, Hermione and Ron, that’s unless you’re in a scene with only the two of them. Harry is best when it comes to flying brooms, while Hermione always carries a book with her, allowing her to open specific panels. Her pet cat Crookshanks also makes a short but eventful appearance in the video game. Ron of course also has his pet rat Scabbers alongside him, and you can use Scabbers to solve certain puzzles too.
Rescue Friends And Other Students, And Use Your Wand To Zap Anything
In remaining faithful to the Harry Potter story line, the game is filled with lots of occasions where you rescue students in harm’s way, and solve different mini-puzzles, in order for you to earn useful gold bricks, or unlock characters and gain extra powers and abilities. You can also attend classes, and learn new recipes for creating different potions and magical brews. In the game, you can also easily interact with specific moving paintings and photos, in the same manner as in the Harry Potter movies, and you can also activate the split-screening mode, if two players are playing at the same time.
The LEGO Harry Potter; Years 1-4 game is also available for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo DS. The game does a wonderful job at effectively meshing the player into Harry’s magical world, without messing up the scenery or environment, as well as sacrificing any of the cute silliness that’s inherently LEGO. While some may fret over the time required for arranging some of the puzzles, overall the game stays true to the Harry Potter tradition, and provides lots of exciting tasks and sequences.
