LEGO Harry Potter Reviews Trickling In

Today is the day that LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 goes on sale. Checking out the scores on for the game on GameRankings.com, they show a solid 80% average score for the game an all major consoles. More reviews are sure to come but this is a good start. Considering the amount of replay value one gets with the LEGO games by Traveler’s Tales, it’s a worthy investment if you’re a fan of Harry Potter, LEGO games, or both. The following is an excerpt from the review on Gamespot.com:

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is easily the best Harry Potter game to date, though if that sounds like a backhanded compliment, consider this: It’s one of the finest Lego adventures to date as well, which is no faint praise. By minimizing the repetitive combat and inconsistent platforming, Traveller’s Tales has also minimized the frustrations, making this excursion to Hogwarts enjoyable for the whole family. Minor flaws, old and new alike, keep Lego Harry Potter from becoming a family-friendly classic, but it’s charming and funny, and most importantly, it’s fun. And that kind of magic is all too uncommon, even in Harry’s world.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 Preview

In more video game news, Eurogamer.net has posted a rather in-depth preview of the new LEGO Harry Potter game due out in May, also by TT Games. While you may scoff at the idea of yet another hack’n'slash LEGO game from their tried-and-true formula, it sounds like they tweaked enough of the game play to breath a little bit more life into their game engine. An excerpt:

Far more than a simple interactive menu, the school is the place where Harry and friends will attend lessons, learning new kinds of spells, which will in turn open up more of the story. Starting the game – which, as the title suggests, charts the narratives of the first four books – with no knowledge of magic whatsoever, by the end of the adventure, Harry will have filled up a reassuringly spacious selection wheel of powers.

Sounds like TT Games is including a lot more RPG elements to the game. The game is to be released in May of this year, and can be pre-ordered from Amazon.com with their low price guarantee. The game will be available for the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, DS, PSP, and Windows PC.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 Game Trailer

Traveler’s Tales and Warner Bros. Interactive released a new trailer for their game, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. Ten bucks says it’s the same tired gameplay of roaming, 1×1 rounds collecting, and character swapping/leading/getting stuck in corners to frustrate you to no end, and wand waving to build stuff to overcome obstacles.

Anyways, if you check out the promo website MagicIsBuilding.com, there’s a countdown to a sneak peek of the game which has 8 hours 48 minutes left as of this writing. Hopefully, it won’t be the trailer below.

Update 9:01am 12/8: The countdown reset itself at some point. Users who load up the page now get a countdown at about 24 hours or less. The browser page I had open, when the countdown hit the zero mark, it reset to negative 1 day, like it did for buriedbybricks.
