Disclaimer: This review is only for the Kinect portion of the game.

Every time I buy video games or movies without doing my homework I get burned! This game falls in that category...I bought it with the idea that you could play the whole thing with Kinect, and I was disappointed. It's not that the Kinect challenges aren't any fun, I just wish they weren't such a tiny portion of the overall game. Each challenge takes about 5 minutes to complete. I find it entertaining, just not what I'd hoped for.

Listen. I know that there are ton of people bashing this game. I am a fan of the series, and I feel like it is getting a bit of a harsh review. This game is not Gears of War. It is a licensed movie game. Based on that fact alone, you should know what you are getting into. This is not the most polished shooter in the world, but from a story telling perspective I found it to be enjoyable. The stealth sequences were fun and at times kept me on the seat of my pants. I am not a die hard gamer, so I actually enjoyed the fact that the enemies were not too difficult for me to figure out. The frantic pace of it was fun, and it left the door open for trying to find strategies for the different situations. I will say that I had a hard time telling what was good cover from the bad cover.

Overall, I think this is certainly a game that Harry Potter fans will enjoy. If you are going to see the movie, you should give this one a try. In my close circle of friends, we are split on this one. Check it out for yourself and see what you think.

i guess i didn't realize that this wasn't a true kinect game. The main gameplay is all done with the regular xbox controller. There is a kinect challenge, which is separate from the main storyline. It's kind of fun but repetitive. If you're looking for a kinect game where you get to use the kinect the whole time though, this isn't it. If you're looking for a good HP game, then go with it. The actual gameplay isn't bad if that's what you're looking for.

Honest reviews on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

Hugely disappointing. So very different from past games. Point and shoot, instead of click and explore.I would suggest waiting on this one, buy it cheap second hand.
