please tell me soon they will give up??
Oh and first post ;) Yes, well done. Loads of kids will get this game though....I can say from experience that this game is pretty bland stuff, with the missions being spoonfed to you the whole time.
I worked at EA last year and tested this game on DS, PSP, Wii, 360, PSE and PC.
Very tedious "on rails" Quidditch games, and trying to five star them using a Wii-mote made a lot of us go mental in the office!
And CVG have mentioned, moving the right stick waggels Harry's little wand, when in fact you just want to move the camera around.....They also couldn't be bothered to put the testers names in the game at the end as it was "too risky" apparently!!!!! J_H__: they're never gonna give up, and we'll always be let down. The sales numbers speak for themselves.
Currently, even before the film's launch today, the game is sitting at nr. 4 on Chart-Tracks all-format hitlist, and doing top-10 on all platforms across the board.
In a world where the audience for both the film and games are renewed on a semi-anual basis, with purchases thus ensured no matter quality, you're never going to see improvements of any kind... Cost benefit simple as that, quality and content simply has no factor in sales of this type of products. I've only played the wii game and it wasn't a bad little game. It definately was built for the platform, its a nice change for the wii to get the definitive version for a change rather than a scaled back mockery of a game. Then again theres been a spate of this at the moment. virtua tennis and Tiger woods spring to mind. Magical fleshlight eh? They really have grown up, havent they! |
