Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Nintendo DS)

**What Is It?** Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DS is the Nintendo DS game to accompany the film (and book) of Harry Potters 5th year at Hogwarts. This will take you through different adventures and challenges. **Age Group** On the box it says 7 years and up which is true enough as it wouldn't really be suitable for children under that age. This would probibly mostly appeal to teenagers and adults more than children. The storyline is a lot darker than previous books so watch out for that. **The Story** You start out as Harry in Grimald Place (where Harry's godfather Sirius lives) and ... more

"Your a fool Harry Potter and you will lose... everything" (voldemort) I am a huge fan of the boy who lived but i am not a huge fan of this nintendo DS game. When i logged onto gamestation.co.uk and ordered my copy of Harry Potter i was eagerly anticipating what i thought was going to be a superb game with superb levels and graphics... the game had none of this. Up's - enviroment : The castle and courtyards are vast and your enviroment looks pretty decent but there is very little to interact with and what you can interact with is pathetic and boring such as fixing a broken chair using reparo ... more

I bought this game as part of a bundle package deal and certainly wouldn't buy it normally. It consists of a number of tasks and then leaves you to your own devices. The tasks take place in several different locations, Hogwarts (of course), Little Whinning and Grimmauld place, this change of scenery is good however it is mostly at hogwarts. It does take full advantage of the DS lite features such as being forced to blow into the microphone to heat up the fire in potions lessons (however this does look rather odd in public!). The main things that the game consists of are (apart from the tasks): ... more

The fifth movie comes on a DS Game and frankley, you wouldn't want to ever buy this game unless your really desperate. Its great if you're trying to make a Harry Potter Collection, but not a good game to play. The graphics in this game are like Runescape AKA Terrible. The storyline is very short, and when the storyline ends, it says you have only completed 20% of the game, when there is nothing else to do! In the storyline of course, Voldemort is building an army, meaning Harry must do the same. Voldemort, however, is after one thing which he didn't get before. Harry's Prophecy! In the game ... more

I have Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the Playstation, and I thoroughly enjoyed that game, and I thought this would be similar. But no I was wrong. It doesn't have anyway near the same amount of tasks and challenges that the Chamber of secrets playstation game has. Most of the game you're running around the castle. I have also played the Playstation version of this and it is exactly the same, so I can compare it to the Chamber of secrets game. I completed the whole DS game in about a week. I was so disappointed with this game, as it didn't live up to the other Harry Potter games ... more
