List All 9 PricesHead back to Hogwarts and help Harry survive his fraught sixth year in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for Wii. The magic and mystery of the famous series comes to life in your living room as you immerse yourself in another chapter of the be-spectacled wizard’s thrilling story. You’ll have to master the art of potion mixing, lead your Quidditch team to victory and cast powerful spells using the unique capabilities of Wii every step of the way. Whether you’re ti…
It's fun while it lasts but at just four hours long, it's far, far too short. EA, you are a lazy bunch. Read more
The Harry Potter video games should complement the other media, providing gleeful interaction to match the excellent story from the books and the visual splendor of the films. But Half-Blood Prince isn't much fun to play once you've gotten a taste of the few simple activities. The game is ultimately a forgettable experience, pushing players through the same three minigames over and over again, without ever capturing the thrill of being a wizard. The story lacks focus and... Read more
As you can tell, I’m less than enamoured with Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It’s not a bad game, I didn’t notice any bugs and everything worked as expected. But it’s far too short and limited. Once you’ve completed it, there’s not really any reason to go back. The control system works quite well, although did potentially damage my right arm, but it does make me suspicious as to how well younger players would be able to play this game. As for older...

It's still a short experience overall and can get slightly repetitive but this is by far the best of the Harry Potter games incorporating some interesting elements that diversify the gameplay and will make...

How do you solve a problem like Harry? If you were Electronic Arts and had been working on all the Potter games since Philosopher's Stone, you'd run the risk of churning out the same game each time a new film came out. After all, Hogwarts is the main setting in all 7 books. Read more
Mass produced garbage. Shows about as much creatvity as the author ever did..."It's nearly Harry's birthday, again, and we're back at the Dursley's, again, about to start looking for another "Defence against the Dark Arts teacher, again". Read more
I love dueling with friends. Overall good game. Read more
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince- PS3 I know what you are thinking. Because it is based off of a movie that is based off a book, there is little to no chance that this will be anything more than a flop game on par with Iron man and the previous Harry Potter installments (excluding Qudditch Cup). Every game has had their own brand of problems, some being addressed, while others get worse. The fifth game nearly destroyed my interest in even trying out the game, but... Read more
Summary: This game is like an average game based on a film. Not for proper gamers. Read more
