Order of the Phoenix combines Wario: MOD, turn-based RPGs, Cooking Mama (somewhat) and Harry Potter to make this fun RPG
User Rating: 7.9 | Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DS
This game is much better than the others in the series, especially the atrocity known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for GBA. The adventure consists of mini-games where you use Harry's wand (your stylus) to cast spells, fight enemies, feed Thestrals and Buckbeak, take O.W.L.s, play Quidditch, Gobstones, and Exploding Snap, find secrets in Hogwarts, complete classes, take Occlumency, climb walls, walk on thin passages, and sneak past evil Professor Umbridge in the Invisibility Cloak, and more. The character models look 89% like the real actors, and the backdrops are detailed and nice to look at. The controls are solid, and the mini-games are fun to play and look at. The game has good (but annoying at times) music, and the D.A. meetings are good for practicing spells. The game is fun, and actually very true to the book! The movie doesn't have Quidditch or the "Weasley is our King" scenario, but the game does! The potions class is like Cooking Mama, where stirring the pot, blowing the fire, and dragging ingredients are the way to win. The part that is like Wario: Master of Disguise, is the duel system. Casting some spells requires you to draw a specific shape. Overall, the game is very good for a movie tie-in, and the few downsides involve the camera and the minigame controls, which sometimes falter. In the words of X-Play, I give Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 4 magical orbs out of five.
