When action sequences won't do, however, there are a number of cutscenes to aid the narrative, which, despite some dodgy voice acting, are handled far more competently than in previous titles and actually make sense this time around - although the ending is slightly anti-climatic and feels a little rushed.
Harry potter deathly hallows part 2 wii movie#
If actions really do speak louder than words, then fans of the boy wizard will understand that from a storytelling perspective, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is far more suited to the video game medium than any of its predecessors.įrom the Gringotts raid in the opening moments to the battle of Hogwarts in the latter stages, the developers are able to mirror the plot of the action-orientated movie with more accuracy and without having to manufacture additional scenarios and side-quests. Players step into the shoes of a number of Potter favourites and take part in some of the more famous battles of the final film. Without wishing to reveal too much of the plot, the concluding game centres around Harry, Ron and Hermione's hunt for the remaining Horcruxes, which builds towards the ultimate showdown with the evil Voldemort. The good news is that the final release is the best video game adaptation we've seen in quite some time - with the exception of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, of course - but it still can't hold a candle to its spellbinding silver-screen counterpart. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is surely EA's last chance to give the legions of Potter fans the virtual companion they deserve after so many low-grade and lacklustre computerised cash-ins. It culminated with last year's truly terrible Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, which featured sloppy storytelling, as well as broken, boring and incredibly repetitive gameplay. Unlike the Harry Potter movie franchise, which appears to have grown stronger with each release, the video games have gone from bad to worse. Also available on: PlayStation 3, Wii, PC, DS
