Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster,In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about the teenager’s recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore’s Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead. With the ability to play multiple characters, including Harry Potter, Dumbledore and Sirius Black, the videogame of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix offers fans the opportunity to wield a wand, explore all around Hogwarts, and experience one of the most exciting and dangerous years in the life of the Boy Who Lived.

    It almost seems as if those virtual barriers we often find in video games have disappeared in this game, as if magic had taken over and made this game endless.

    Order of the Phoenix is the first movie game of the year that would be considered solid for a game, period. For a movie tie-in, it's spectacular.

    Die-hard Potter fans will thrill throughout to checking Hogwarts' huge and detailed environs, but Order of the Phoenix's repetitive gameplay will make many wish someone would cast an Avada Kedavara spell in their direction and put them out of their misery already. [Oct 2007, p.66]

    It's a shame really as EA could have done a whole lot better. The control system could be a lot better, the animation could be better and the cut-scenes could be better.

После убл*дского "Кубка огня" Орден Феникса кажется добротным приключением на 7 часов (если не проходить на 100%): сносная графика, прикольная реализация использования заклинаний (своего рода симулятор волшебника, каст заклятий зависит только от умения игрока и кривизны мышки, особенно это проявляется во время волшебных дуэлей), эффектные дуэли, боты в лице Рона и Гермионы больше не руинят игру. Приятным бонусом музыка из предыдущих частей игр и фильмов, которая добавляет атмосферу происходящему на экране.
    И самая главная фишка игры это просто ГИГАНТСКИХ масштабов Хогвартс, который воссоздан максимально идентично киношным версиям (кабинеты, коридоры, отдельные постройки и сооружения). Но на каждую бочку меда найдется своя ложка дегтя - кроме основных квестов побочек крайне мало или они не интересны, в награду досконального изучения Хогвартса дается контент интересный лишь фанатам (интервьюшки с актерами и режиссерами), а так же нет адекватного быстрого перемещения (картины скоротки и карта мародеров помогает, но этого мало) из за чего беготня по Хогвартсу от задания к заданию занимает 70% игры.

    The thing is, this is a large improvement over the mess that the Goblet of Fire was, but compared to the first three games, this game is bad.The thing is, this is a large improvement over the mess that the Goblet of Fire was, but compared to the first three games, this game is bad.
    I have to say that this game has probably the second best designed Hogwarts in the whole series with the castle being really large and faithful to the movies but on the other hand it is WAY too large and it is not fun to search for every hidden secret like it was in the first three games because it takes forever in this game.
    Also, the major part of the game play revolves around doing fetch quests to gain members for the Dumbledore Army. These quests are all pretty boring and because they require you to run from one place to another, doing some sort of a short jumping sequence or something else that's largely unimaginative and then running back, followed by running somewhere else again, doing something little and running back and repeating this for like 28 times or so, you can imagine the level of BOREDOM yourself.
    Summary: Great looking castle, super repetitive and boring gameplay.    … Expand

    This game seems to run on a really low fixed frame rate, which makes it really unpleasant to play.
