We were taken aback by these screens of
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. They look
fantastic. It could be using prerendered backgrounds to display these artistic views of Hogwarts, but whatever it is, it's working. Whenever Harry is walking around the (strangely empty) building, it's breathtaking, and one of the nicest-looking
adventure games we've seen on any platform.
And then we see the
other screenshots. The combat-- for which you apparently rotate the DS
Brain Age style, and the magical minigames. They might be fun, but they don't quite evoke
ICO in the same way as the environments do. Oh, well, this is still amazing for an
EA licensed game.
