When i started the game for the first time, i was impressed by the graphics used in this game and the fact they had the actual actors from the movie voice the characters. They even had rather good music for the game which gave me the felling of me actually being at Hogsworth. Then all of that faded away when i realized how frustrating it is to use the "wand gestures". you have to move your mouse in certain ways and if you screw up, too bad. Makes me want to give this game the "T" for "Troll" in the area of control. In the heat of battle, i found myself using different spells than the ones i wanted to cast and this total lack of control made the game very frustrating to use, not to mention the camera angle often got in the way. The task you are assigned are also very simple to the point of bordem. Its more or less a "go fetch" sort of missions this game gives. When you do get to fight, you are almost always outnumbered and as i previously stated, the frustrating controls often means you will lose. Finally, the game was also very short. I finished it in 2 days, almost makes me wish you could just rent computer games like you could a video game. This game is strictly for the hardcore fans.
Short version.
PROS: Good storyline, Excellent Graphics, Voice actors are the actual actors from the movies, good music.
CONS: Horrible control, somewhat poor camera, too short, missions suck.
