Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 

 

We were scraping the bottom of the barrel for hand held video games to review. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 came up on the Nintendo 3DS. I verified we had not reviewed this game before. All of the magic has a lot to do with it. I am not a fanboy of Harry Potter. I never have been, and I doubt I ever will be.

Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 has some big graphics for a hand held. Those big graphics are tempered by really small areas. The cut scenes on the Nintendo 3DS look the same as the cut scenes on the home console versions. The music is okay at best. It can be annoying at times. Especially in the creepy areas.

The issues families will have with Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 are violence, ghosts, magic, weird creatures and more. Thankfully it does not cost a lot of money to purchase Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 at this time. There are areas where I got stuck because I did not know what to do.

Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is like most other Lego video games. We can not unlock everything the first time we play a level. Instead we must unlock and/or purchase different characters and replay levels to complete them 100%. If that is important to you. I have learned that I do not need to 100% complete any level anymore. I do not have the time for it. I am not big on this kind of manufactured replay.

The saving in Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is really odd. We can beat a few levels, and the game says it saved. Then turn off the game, and when we come back into it we have to repeat those levels again. Make sure you get to a blue spot where you leave an area before turning this game off. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is not friendly to hand held gamers.

Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is on the lower end of the Lego games for me. Wizard duels were different in this game.
