LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 Great but has faults

User Rating: 7.5 | LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 PS3
LEGO Harry Potter has all the makings of a great LEGO game as we know them, It's fun and addictive once your a little way through. It is definately one of the better LEGO games (StarWars) being my personal favourite. I have never enjoyed ''normal'' Harry Potter games but am pleased to say that i really do like this one. The gameplay is pretty self explanitary, although (at times) this game can be very frustrating because it is not very well expained at some points,so you find yourself zapping everything in sight with your wand. Luckily it is a ''simple game'' and your classic LEGO style.

Although it is fun to play on your own it has to be said that this game comes alive playing with a friend. Its a shame it has no online co-op (or maybe i have just not found it) as that would be a brilliant addition.

Another thing i found to be frustrating is that you have to play it over and over to be able to collect all of the items. This is because in some places you need a character that is only available in ''freeplay'' and not in the story mode. It does however give the game great replay value and can be very satisfying playing as a new unlocked character where you couldnt before.

I also found this game very repeptitive which i began to get a little tired of before the end. The ending in the graveyard also seemed to be a little easy in comparison with some of the other points in the game.

The game has some brilliant cutscenes which have a good humor about them and have their own little ''LEGO'' twists. Another good thing about this game is that there are not too many or too little cutscenes and you find yourself looking forward to the next. whilst having the lego theme it still manages to capture the true look and feeling of the Harry Potter world.

LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 is a great addition to any collection and is a must buy for LEGO/Harry Potter game fans. Sure it has a few faults but it easily makes up for this with its humor and fun. Also for the trophy hunters out there ''its not a too hard one'' but dont expect a free ride.
