for a starter if u want tips for the game u will have 2 ask a friend who has got the game or surf the net as ron and hermione give really naf tips. when u first get it it is really good but gets worse and worse as it goes on until u fight voldemort as dumbledore which will probably be the best experience of ur life. after a couple of fights including sirius and other popular characters it gets really boring as u have 2 gather up all of dumbledors army 4 a second time doing harder and harder chores 4 them. it gets 2 a point where it is almost impossible to complete. i had it since it first came out and i still haven't completed it. all in all i say it is a must have 4 the price.

ps:the events at the ministry deserve 4 star all by themselves.
pps:after u have a fight with the slytherin in the transfiguration courtyard u can challenge any slytherin to a fight by keeping hold of the b button and doing a spell on them.

I bought this game when it first came out, and played it non stop tillI completed it. I wasn't a big HP fan till I played this. Getting to roam the school but following the story line was great! Once you complete the game mode you get a endless day, which leaves so much more to find out!
I just hope the follow up game is as good!

This is agreat game but it's hard and i don't go on it that much. At first it was a bit hard then i starded to really love it. It was really good. I love going round the school grounds but i have got to a bit that i can't do. It's a good game but not the best.

The controls are excelent, this is a very good exploring game, although the story is a bit short. You'll spend ages finding everything. I hope other publishers wll follow this example on how to make a movie-based game.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is an excellent game for Nintendo Wii. I would strongly recommend it to anyone that is a fan of the Harry Potter series. Someone that has never read the books or has never seen the movies may still have fun with the game - but not to the same degree as a Harry Potter fanatic would.

First off, I must say - the entire castle and grounds are absolutely beautiful. You can spend hours just wandering around and admiring Hogwarts. The cool thing about this game is that you can actually do that. You have tasks to do, but you can pretty much get them done whenever you feel like it. I think they refer to these types of games as "sandbox" games.

I've read some horrible reviews about this game. If you're a diehard Harry Potter fan, ignore those reviews - you will love this game. The frame rate is fine, I know a lot of critics and players have had issues with that.

There are a few problems that I have with the game, but they are not really that big of a deal. First off, the motion controls are not always the best. Sometimes I'll do one spell and it'll do a different one (whichever is best for the object). For example, if you need to 'Reparo' something and do the spell for 'Reducto' instead - it will, most of the time, 'Reparo' that object. Another small problem I have is that, for whatever reason, it has a hard time picking up the 'Stupefy' spell. To do the spell, you are supposed to push both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk forward towards the screen. Sometimes it works when I do that, other times it does not. That ends up not being that big of a deal though, because there really aren't as many duels in the game as one would want/expect. When there are duels, I usually just use the other spells, (especially 'Protego' to deflect a spell back at the caster) and I'm fine. It also says in the game that if you hold 'B' while targeted on a person, they will either run away or duel you. I've actually never encountered a time when they challenged me to a duel - they always run away.

Though Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has a few flaws for Nintendo Wii, it is an amazing game nonetheless. The pros that the game brings far outweigh the cons. If you are a Harry Potter fan, or just enjoy games where you can wander around and do whatever you want - this game is a must have

i think this game is o.k but its too short . the controlls are good though.

Awesome game, not even a die hard fan and love it. very enjoyable to play!

hated this game and its frustrating because ron and hermionie keep getting in the way and its very short

I couldn't wait to get this game, but it does get a bit repetitive after a while, there isn't really that much to do it's mainly just following footstep patterns around the castle, with all the running about you can easily become impatient and bored, however the 'tasks' are quite enjoyable once you get to them.

This game has the protential to be great but the storyline and graphic are, lets say 'not up to scratch'. You can go anywhere in the castle which seprates it from the old games, but this is overall not the best game in the world.
