10 More Great Video Games Based On Movies
6. Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
The Wizarding World is ripe for great video games, and to capitalize on the success of the movies, tie-ins were released by EA. That said, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix would be the first title to truly feel like the films.
The game used the actors' likenesses and features an open-world Hogwarts with layouts provided by the filmmakers. As Harry Potter, you could explore areas such as the Room of Requirement, the Great Hall, and even the castle grounds while obtaining passwords for shortcuts.
Combat features numerous spells such as Expelliarmus and Protego which you could use in duels against Slytherin students. The video game even expands on characters not featured much in the films such as Dean Thomas and Colin Creevey while giving you control of Sirius Black and Professor Dumbledore in key moments. Aside from adapting the fifth book, side activities such as exploding snap and Wizard chess can be played inside castle.
Exploring Hogwarts was a dream come true for gamers and this certainly delivered in that regard. Its sequel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince would continue the open-world gameplay while adding new activities such as potion classes and Quidditch.
