Review LEGO Harry Potter Years 01-04

The idea of ​​the LEGO game sweep of three popular franchises in the past: Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Batman. Now, the fourth, added to the list of the boy who lived. The creation of JK Rowling, Harry Potter, is a small block of plastic processing, and the outcome of the game, fun, fresh and appealing is given.

LEGO games are always fun, thanks to the excellent recovery of the object that they are based, and courteous attitude they take on the subject. But aside from the characters and settings, it's really not much difference between them. We are at Tatooine and the change in the Amazon these games, but in general, not the dynamics in one of the previous version. You can read this in another way, of course ... Old Thurs

It seems the story of Travellers developers aware of the problem, because the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 provides feeling completely different. Of course, still playing LEGO as well as the basics are the same, but the additions and improvements of these ideas have a significant change in the overall experience has been made.

The change is clear is that the game has different parameters. Now players can explore Hogwarts LEGO version, spacious environment that players are allowed much freedom. Magic hat school movies and shows, games, movies, no books were created to play in (not surprising, given that the set of Warner Bros., the same company, the film will be made public). There's plenty to do at Hogwarts, a collection of buttons (which are used for all games, and as currency in total) before collecting the top of Hogwarts and more. Free roaming game you have (all of which interact in the future is needed) allows the player this is the area and access to education that they could not reach before. This is a fantastic concept, but also add a little hiking in the game.

Players can use 167 characters in the play opens, and can learn new spells and abilities they go through different chapters of the game. This is where the thing in. Take for example the Polyjuice Potion. The ability to use the potion will allow players to change characters too easily placed boiler. You have to go through the door of access to students walking Hufflepuff house? No problem ... just use Polyjuice Potion to take the form of Hufflepuff characters. The catch is that you come across a door in the first chapter, but you will only learn skills in a second. I'm sure you'll see that I'm in.

It's fun, and using a different spell, the player can interact with the world is not like previous LEGO games. Wingardium Leviosa, for example, that the Lego bricks to build individual players to solve puzzles. Previously, the building partially automated, and while it is still automated build at this point, adding a new dimension in puzzle games.

The game also features a drop-in / drop out multiplayer, which was treated well at this time. Players can play together all four chapters (covering the Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire), thanks to the intuitive knowledge of the split screen that divides the screen only when needed. This is one of the best achievements of the split screen we've ever seen.

The game has too many battles, bosses, and the vehicle, fortunately, to a minimum (because they are in another name LEGO is not fun). Overall, this game is well presented, also provides a name that shines through some of the previous LEGO games. It is fun for the whole family, and you want to play, offering a ton to do and lots of humor for those who are familiar with the story of Harry Potter.

A brief overview

A great adventure for the whole family, based on the Harry Potter universe.
