solid game but way to short
well i just got this game on monday and now its tuesday and i have already bet the game. its still a sloid game and im probably going to return it within the week to get a different game. i wish they had more fighting in the game like all ur battles are just one on one duels. and besides that u play quitich wich is just flying ur broom through circles in the sky, and make potions which is suprisinly fun but thats all the game is, it is worth renting because u do get like three hrs of fun out of it but not alot to do after that

Wow! Awesome!
It's much better than the last four Harry Potter games. I haven't played the next 2, but right now, it's the best one, in my opinion.

Fun
I'm not one to give tens out so easily. If you're a Harry Potter fan then you'll definitely love this game. It's so much fun! I love the gameplay, the mini games, the freedom, the videos. You're a wizard for goodness sake! I played this game even after completion for a good while.

Awesome
Now this is the Harry Potter new edition. Awsome story line, but a bit short. Do everything from in the movie, but discover new things, new portraits, new spells, and new abilities. So get over to gamestop and buy this because it amazingly awesome. words cannot describe this! But I must say-- it was a bit short.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Review
I bought this game despite the negative reviews I heard about it and I ended up liking it. It was very short, it took me about 2 hours to pass but it followed the movie which was good and the potions and spells were pretty cool. The quiditch got a little boring after a while. Overall it was a cool game.

Good but short
This game is challenging in most areas but I found that there was way to much video content. It seemed more like watching the movie than playing a game. While some of the characters bear a striking resemblance others are not a good likeness to the actors in the movie. This game does not take long enough to finish and the rewards for the challenges aren't much incentive. I found the previous installment to be much more satisfactory because you had to actually think to get things accomplished. There needs to be more interaction, challenges, and difficulty. I Sincerely hope that the seventh installment will live up to my expectations and be worth the money I will pay. I Don't recommend this game if your looking for a serious task to take on.

Best Harry Potter Potter game of them all
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is a game mainly meant for fans of the series. If you're wanting to play this game because of the story and you haven't read the book or seen the movie, you're probably going to be confused in the end because it doesn't really explain the story perfectly. It does an okay job if you have read the book or seen the movie. This is because you'll already understand the story of the Half Blood Prince. When it comes to gameplay, the controls are simple. When you fly your broom, all you use if the left thumbstick. When you make potions, you use the left thumbstick to select ingredients. You use the A button to lift up or drop ingredients and to pour them into the cauldron, you use the right thumbstick. In combat/dueling, you cast spells with the right thumbstick. To dodge spells that are being cast your way, you use LT and RT. To move Harry, you use the left thumbstick. This is also the control you use when you are walking around even if you're aren't dueling. The graphics are great although some of the faces can be a little off when there is a close up. In the end, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince basically lets you live Harry Potter's life as he would live it: cast spells, duel, explore Hogwarts, and collect things. Hopefully, improvements will be made when they release Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the game.

Great Game, but a little short
I bought this game two days ago and i have almost completed it 100%. The story mode is fun but way to short. They could have added more things that you have to do in the story mode. The flying is fun and easy. The spell casting is really good and easy to remember, but there could have been more spells that you could learn. Potions is amazing it is so easy to get used to and there is so many potions that you can do. Dueling is one of the best things in the game. There are a lot of duels that you can do With different houses. The achievements are extremely easy to get i literaly got 480 gamerscore in one day. There is a mulitplayer part of the game in which you use characters that you unlock during the game to duel eachother. If you are a harry potter fan you will like the game so i do reccomend it.

more of an arcade game
this game is great there is plenty to do but all of it can be accomplished in a very short time. The story mode being about 3-4 hours long for me (i have not played many of the previous installments.) 3-4 hours of playing to beat a game is in no way worth $edit. personally i do not think that any game should be worth 60 or so dollars but that's not why i'm here. it is a great game but with very little replay value. developers did try to give you more to do what with the different clubs to join and assorted crests to find all of which except for the crests are very quick to complete and do not challenge the average even my 5 year old cousin could win a duel and mix a perfect potion (good controls) it would of helped if the developer went more in depth maybe instead of just a duel how about you chase them a little give the user more to do in that little amount of time. high price.fun experience.low value sums up harry potter and the half blood prince video game
