Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (PSP) 
Customer Ratings: - Whoever tested this game needs to be sacked. A bugged game on a PC is one thing. Just download the patch and get on with it. These days, its pretty much an essential part of your gaming experience.
So what do you do when the same QA is applied to a PSP game? Nothing. You are stuffed. This game is bugged to heck, and is embarassingly bad to play. The worst lip sync I have seen. Short of a hollow voice saying All your base are belong to us over the top of the game continuously, I fail to see how it could be any worse. - Definitely the best HP game for PSP and a great PSP game in its own right.. In direct comparison with the previous HP game for the PSP (goblet of fire), this really shines despite the better reviews G.O.F. received. The graphics are so, SO much better as well as the music and especially in its story telling through BREATHTAKING cutscenes which I sorely missed in G.O.F. Also the great voice acting by the cast really immerses you into the game -another thing largely lacking in G.O.F. This game, to put it simply made me want to play it...ALOT! I could hardly put it down (despite my library of games with the very highest ratings) With the previous HP, i became quickly bored and irritated with the gameplay and left it well alone.
This game has the feel of an open ended RPG in an environment all Potter fans will go crazy for! (its so detailed and beautiful) People say the NPCs are like zombies but they follow you with their eyes and if you bump into them in an invisibility cloak they jump back and look around quizzically (funny!) for example. There are some tricky bits which require an imaginative use of the objects in the HP environment (reminded me of adventure games a little) but when you succeed its so rewarding! There are always more places to see and things to do. You can also choose what tasks you want to do and I think it feels very non-linear while still giving J.K. Rowling s story highest importance.
The flaws of the game are mostly camera which occasionally isn t perfect and I think spell casting needs a bit of practice but I don t mind that :)
If you love harry potter, I think you ll really like this. Maybe it s a love it or hate it game?....either way I VE fallen head over heels! - Rubbish. This game is the worst game I have ever bought for my psp, I owned goblet of fire and I loved it, so I thought I would treat myself to the next one, wish I had saved my money, this game is total rubbish, all you do in this game is walk around talking to people, fetch books, get plants, so boring I am 50% through it, not to sure whether I can be bothered to finish it, rubbish game save your money.
PS it keeps freezing and you have to turn off the psp and start again, wouldn t recommend to any Harry Potter fan. - Not good at all!. This is one of the worst games I have 4 my psp. The sound and subtitles dont match up, task places cant be found on the map and if u forget what tasks haven t been completed there s no where to check and any hints they reckon you can get from Ron or Hermione don t exist. The character control is awful and there is no way to move the camera angle to see the surounding area. At one point in my game while out on the Hogwarts grounds I lost half the picture that never returned which ment I coundnt get the character back inside, I had to restart the game and lost most of the progress I had made. I can t believe they released this game thinking it was fit for gamers to play, it s awful!
- Crap!. I have never seen such a crappy video game, I don t know if is the PSP version, because I have seen good reviews for other platforms. The game is slow, subtitles and voices are not syncronized at all!!! it even makes you dizzy....
When you are learning spells and make 2 mistakes, Sirius start teaching you again the spell, and you can t stop it... is so annoying!!!!
This could have been such a good game, but EA made a terrible conversion for the PSP platform.
