In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
In the game, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron's romantic entanglements as they journey towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.

I bought this game for my 9yr old daughter and she loves battling Bellatrix and the death eaters in dueling matches. She also enjoys making potions and Quidditch. But I do find the game a little boring when playing by myself. But when we take turns it's a blast to play.......
Unlike the last two Harry Potter games, this one is a little bit easier to play and enjoy. We are doing it on a Wii system for the first time and enjoying the large screen aspect of it. Wonder if the computer game is the same and might buy one of them after we conquer this.......
For the short and simple explanation, I've been an HP fan since the beginning. I have read all the books, seen all the movies, and played all the games. This one is by far the most disappointing of the HP games. The game comprises mainly of potion making (ok), dueling (pretty cool), Quittage (can do without) and a thin plot. The developers improved the speed function by holding the `Z' button. Kudos!!! It makes going throughout the castle and ground much easier! Also Headless Nick's assistance is greatly appreciated! I'm so glad that I rented this game and not drop $50 on it. I would suggest not buying this game and rent it if you're interested in playing.......
harry potter and the half-blood prince is a awesome game a classic the best of the best buy this game if your a huge harry potter fan you wont be sorry......
I have played every Harry Potter game in the series and loved all of them. The puzzles, quests and mini games always made for exciting and extensive game play. Unfortunately, that enthusiasm does not extend to Harry and Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I was disappointed in the length of the story line - most likely less than 4 hours of gameplay. The side quests were to complete the Dueling Club, Potions Club and Flying Club. You also could collect crests throughout the castle - no beans, no cards, no gobstone matches, etc. The only story tasks that were completed were to fly in a few quidditch games, get attacked by a few of Malfoy's cronies and duel with the real bad guys - which was super easy! Navigation was disappointing as well. You could not pull up the Marauder's Map and see where you were or where you wanted to go. You had to call up Nearly Headless Nick and have him lead you. This game was definitely a waste of money and I will surely think twice before purchasing the next installment. ......
