Touch the arrow and you'll jump automatically. Jumping's been kept incredibly simple for this one, as you can't actually jump on your own - all you've got to do is find a cliff like this, and if you can leap it, an arrow appears on the other side of the gap. With around fifty short (and therefore perfectly suited to a handheld), but entertaining adventuring, and item collecting levels, there's plenty to get your teeth into here, and each level has a lot of replay value. The rest of the game, however, retains the same winning formula as the other LEGO titles - donning Harry's wizard's hat, you'll stroll through the corridors of Hogwarts, taking in the story of the first four Harry Potter books, learning spells, exploring the hidden passages, and basically following the story of the popular books and films in a simple platform adventure. Of course, a lot depends on your child and how well they can read, but it certainly seems that LEGO Harry Potter has been aimed at a slightly older audience. Rather than being inconsequential banter, the text is often essential to figuring out what you have to do next, too, with characters often giving you instructions ("Go here and find five of 'X'"), meaning that children who are just learning to read may struggle to play this on their own.
Whereas the previous games were designed with minimal restrictions for younger players, LEGO Harry Potter strangely includes a rather large amount of reading - at least, for a LEGO game. There's much more reading this time round.Īnd while LEGO Harry Potter is still a game that's sure to appeal to kids and adults alike, it does seem a bit strange that they've chosen to change the winning LEGO formula, if only slightly.
