(More customer reviews)This game is truly a lot of fun. There are little quests to complete, secrets, and the use of the stylus adds a nice aspect to a game about magic...
That being said, I want to focus on the packaging for a moment. You can read more thorough reviews on the game in other posts, but I wanted to express my concerns about how this game comes packaged.
If you are a collector, this is definitely worth buying. The stylus is cute, the mini Harry Potter lego figure is great. Beyond that, there are a few concerns about this package that you should be aware of, especially if you are buying this game for a younger child.
- The Stylus, while cute, does not fit into the DS itself. This is true for many of the "collector's" type styli, and is not a huge concern but it is worth mentioning.
- The mini Lego figure could definitely be a choking hazard, but that is sort of a given. It can be attached to the top of the stylus for added fun.
- The packaging for the game itself is poorly constructed -- rather than having a hard case that the game can snap into and store easily, this edition comes with a cardboard sleeve. The game is tucked down into the sleeve in such a way that it is hard to get out, so I could definitely see an impatient or careless child just ripping the cardboard within seconds to dig the game out, which would leave you with nowhere to store the game.
I really expected this package to still have a hard case. The size of the box suggested that it would have a hard case packed inside, and that the added box space was to include the stylus. The flimsy cardboard packaging was really a disappoint. At the time I purchased this game, it was more expensive than the regular edition (the price has evened out now, and will probably change) but I didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth with the packaging.
If you keep all your games in some type of organizer pouch, or have a case for the DS that includes game storage slots, this wont be a problem. I just wanted to be clear that this edition DOES NOT come with a hard plastic case like regular DS games usually do.
Other than that, I think this is a great game for kids and adults alike, and definitely recommend it for fans of Harry Potter, as well as fans of the Lego series games.
