Nice idea......but too complex. [Posted on 2002-07-12] I love the Harry Potter Series when i saw Harry Potter And The Sorcors's Stone (the PC game) i bought it and loved it when i saw this game i got it but the contents of the game was disappointing. The Lego people can't do anything but bump in to stuff and annoy the stuffing out of you. This game seems like it would be easier for adults,but i'm not sure i do know this though,this game is WAY to hard so for ages 13 and up anyone younger would surly die of being bored.
Too Hard [Posted on 2002-07-20] Ok I made a person now what? I read the manual and that made it more complicated. It takes an hour to finish building a walkway. You need to be VERY paitent to play this game. I bought it and it was horrible.I hated it! So PLEASE listen and save your money! I can think of at least 20 other things to buy with the money I paid for it.
HIDEOUS GAME for a Great Theme [Posted on 2002-12-27] This product has two solid names behind it -- Lego and Harry Potter, and it SHOULD be a GREAT game. In fact, this is a game released on schedule, but before being finished. Its controls are contra-intuitive, clumsy, and v-e-r-y s-l-o-w. It locks up and freezes, some times coming back and executing your mouse click up to a minute after you've thought it didn't take, and have moved on. When it's running, it's sensitve and twitchy. Those who have said the controls are bad or frustrating are being quite kind. It takes hours to get the simplest things set up. Then, when you're finished, you can't actually DO much with your creations. Lego has a variety of software titles and should include good products; perhaps the second title, "LEGO Creator: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will be usable and fun.
Disappointed Kindergartner Mom [Posted on 2003-04-13] The software was a gift for my son. He was so excited about it given that it is Harry Potter and Legos. He was not able to do anything in the software except type his name. When my husband and I tried to use it with him we had similar difficulty. We have not been able to advance from the initial screens. What a disappointment. Lego usually represents Quality to me. Perhaps they should have just stayed in the Block business.
Not for ADD kids [Posted on 2003-09-14] Important to read the title of this software before you buy. This is a design or creator software. The word 'game' is not in the tilte, ..., doesn't mean that it will do everything $500.00 worth of legos will. Although, Lego (durable, expesive, children, and well known), Harry Potter (exciting, British, pagan, children, and well known), and Electronic Arts (software distributor, low cost, lacking patches / support, and well known) are well known, you should concern yourself with the audience before you buy. It is rated for everyone. This means no one will die, explode, or present shocking or contraversial graphics. It is a good product. It runs on my XP system, so I'm impressed. It says it comes with awards, but I didn't see them. This is not a first person shooter game. ... The visuals are a little hard to master. But if you pay attention, you can control the movement of the characters and zoom around like anyone else. Building is more difficult, yes. They could have done a better job developing and play testing the product, ... so you win some and lose some. Is it the best thing on the face of the planet, no. Could they have put some more time into this, oh yes. But for what you pay for, you cannot find this anywhere else.
