new year and new pains.

Well its the new year, and after a long dull and boring festive period.... i finally played a game .
I was playing the harry potter and the deathly hallows for xbox with kinect enabled features( still haven't used that yet)  the first recognisable thing is the rendering  of the game its rather shit, some of its good and has a fu2 engine for it im assuming due to the nature of scenery that have realistic movements even down the the smallest of details. The bigger half of the rendering though it extremely poor with   pixellation on some of the imagery and lines across surfaces that should not be there.

Spell casting : EA bright Light removed the self spell casting feature that was in the previous  game  "Half Blood Prince" which is a shame because it  was more inviting to  use the thumb stick to cast the spells and remember the order in which to move the stick, oh well .

the Actual spell casting is a simple  shoot and kill method like all action shooters have , zoom in-target- aim-fire except not with guns but with spells  sound effects are also rather gun type such as " expulso"  which sounds like a tommy gun firing  .

Game and story telling : Due to the nature of the game , some features had to be removed from the story to make smooth game play, they give challenges in between the cut scenes to pass the time when  say hermoine is casting protection spells around the camp or when they are investigating  the ministry  and how to get inside. These challenges are to rescue muggle borns  from snatchers and death eaters  from death  and or to kill as many of your foes  in a certain amount of time.

The beasts that you face  are good Dementors,Acromantula(spiders),Dragons, Pixies, Whomping Willows ( don't attack but just dodge these willows).

Death Eaters and Snatchers : the snatchers look like over grown Racoon  if you look at a picture of them you'll see why, death eaters are just standard  cone shaped  people   not racoons.

part from the flaws and some reviwes by others its not half bad  passes the time  and if you know how to enjoy paying  then its worth it, but if you get bored easily by games best not for you, fans and people who play to enjoy or just play for the sake of playing  then ok might be ok .

try  kinect features once ive completed the rest of itT
