Happy Potter Might Actually Be A Good Video Game

19 May 2007

Usually video games based on movies never do well, but the extended trailer of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix video game may have just changed my mind. The game follows the story of the 5th book which is probably one of the best books in the series. EA plans on releasing the game on 8, YES COUNT THEM 8 platforms - everything from the PS3 all the way down to the Nintendo DS. However the version I'm interested in is the Nintendo Wii version. Unlike the other versions, the Wii affords real magic casting simulation by way of its motion sensing remote control. The video above is from the Wii version and like Hermione says, it's all in the wrist, just swish and flick.
