Disappointment!

The boyfriend and I are extremely disappointed in the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince video game...

...way sad.

I mean, EA games could have done SO much better. This game had potential to be extremely cool; it's Harry Potter, for crying out loud.

I'm glad we didn't buy this game; I'm glad we didn't pay money to rent it. Mike actually got a free month long trial for Game Fly, so, knowing his girlfriend and potential future mother-in-law love Harry Potter, ordered the game for us. We decided to test it out... and were in awe at how totally lame it was. It seemed more like a computer game for elementary school kids than anything. I was hoping for something more a long the lines of, say, Resident Evil. Not quite as evil as that, or gory, but shit, the book itself is scary. The book is not written for elementary school kids; it has a lot of things that kids won't understand.

Yet the video game is extremely childish!

So now we know... unless the game has EXTREMELY good reviews (such as Little Big Planet), don't rent it if it's rated E. Just because it's rated E for everyone, doesn't mean it's for everyone... not if it's going to be as crappy as HP.
