LEGO Harry Potter Review
There's a new video game based on the Harry Potter series. "Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4" takes the events of the first four books, and adds Lego's trademark humor. CNET's Dan Ackerman checked it out. "Each section of the game is cut up into chapters, where usually Harry and another character have to go through together and solve some simple puzzles and blast some bad guys and collect a lot of little collectible items by searching around. And once you complete the level, you can go back to it later and replay it with different characters," Ackerman explains. "What you end up with is a game that's fun for people who are serious gamers and like a challenge, but also easy enough that anybody can pick up and play. Especially kids who have read the Harry Potter books." The game is available for PCs and all the major gaming consoles.
