About the Game
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is based on the movie of the same name. players take the role of Harry Potter who has to fight against Lord Voldemort and his minions. The game is not completely linear - between the chapters Harry can explore the school at his own leisure.
Gameplay & Core Systems
If players do not want to walk and search around, they have two ways to cut a corner: portraits, which are unlocked during the course of the game, can be used to teleport instantly to another place. Exploration has mostly one goal: finding the 150 (more or less) hidden crests which unlock achievements and trophies. Because Harry lost his ability to jump and climb, he has to use spells to reach them. players will spend most of his time in three mini games: magic duels, brewing potions, and quidditch. The duels are used to learn new spells respectively improve the already known.
Standout Features
- Harry can also call a ghost which shows him the fastest way to the next mission.
- Harry basically faces other magicians and uses his spells to defeat them, e.g. by paralyzing them or by parrying their spells.
- To perform a spell players have to use his input device to recreate a certain movement.
- Harry's broom flies automatically and players can only slightly move it to fly through rings or avoid obstacles.
