Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, développé et édité par Electronic Arts, est sorti le 12 juillet 2011 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC et Wii. Ce jeu de tir à la troisième personne constitue l'ultime adaptation vidéoludique de la saga cinématographique, reprenant fidèlement l'intrigue du film éponyme. Le joueur y incarne tour à tour Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Neville Londubat ou encore le professeur McGonagall pour détruire les derniers horcruxes de Lord Voldemort, culminant dans la bataille de Poudlard et l'affrontement final entre les deux ennemis jurés.
Le gameplay substitue les armes à feu par des sorts magiques dans une structure de couverture revue par rapport à l'opus précédent, tout en abandonnant les phases d'infiltration qui le caractérisaient. L'accueil critique et public s'est révélé mitigé, reflété par une note agrégée de 38,19. GamingXP a souligné une durée de vie courte d'environ quatre heures assortie d'un gameplay perfectible, tandis que Game Informer a pointé des mécaniques lassantes et une déception pour les fans quant à la représentation du climax de la série. Du côté des joueurs, certains ont qualifié l'expérience de « pasable » pour qui apprécie l'action et les explosions, d'autres se contentant d'avertir sur la présence de révélations sur l'intrigue.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« You play as Harry, Hermine or one of Harry's friends to defeat the dark lord, but with a total play time of 4 hours I would have expected a better gameplay. »
« Gamers will be bored by the mechanics and fans of the lore will be disappointed by the ham-fisted depiction of the series' climax. While saying goodbye to Harry in the final book was bittersweet, I felt nothing but joy as my time with this tedious exercise finished. »
« The game still falls far short of modern shooters, and the boss battles often fail to add new gameplay tactics to the mix. But when the game rises to the occasion - like during the battle against giants, and in a sniping section set on a bridge - it's a fine conclusion to the franchise. »
« The short development cycle still hurt the end product. Shooting can be fun, but it gets old when you realize that the game doesn't offer interesting level designs. »
« A mere add-on to the previous game, short and without any improvements to the first game, even losing features like Kinect support. »
« EA's Harry Potter series unceremoniously bows out in this final game. While the previous games were also disappointments, this one sinks even lower to full-on cash-in status. What you're left with is a confused mess parading around as a barely-competent third-person shooter. »
« Part II has new characters and new enchantments, but overall the game falls short of all expectations. »
« Harry Potter's latest adventure is basically a nice try to fix everything that didn't worked at Deadly Hallow's first chapter. The shooting scheme is nothing more than a waste of the original atmosphere, but nevertheless, it's still a worth-try-for-rental game if you're looking for something connected to the movies. »

« Realmente es un juego pasable si te gusta ir matando gente y las explosiones »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« It’s a really fun game, and despite those critics, it’s worth playing if you love Harry Potter. Yes, it might be a little off, but it is still amazingly good! »
« ужасная игра,старые игры по гарри поттеру были намного лучше а это шутер какой то »
« This new Harry Potter game isn't terrible, (like the others) but it's just below average. Graphics range from very good to quite ugly, and the story is just non-existent. The different characters seem fun at first, but then you realise they all function the SAME! However, the gameplay is good, with a fun shooting mechanic, but having to do basically the same game OVER and OVER again! And that's what this game is; it's a lazy, repetitive, faceless mess! »
« tbh i didnt like this one as much as the others but i still thought that this was an alright game i missed wondering around the castle and all the side missions that gave you something to do if you got bored of the storyline »
« WHY THE HECK ARE PEOPLE GIVEING THIS GAME A 10? This terrible. Its rubbish, the gameplay is slightly better then the first game but guess what. I rented this game and finished it in just under 4 hrs. ARE U KIDDIN ME!? The stupid dim-witted developers abominated the book and movie with Call of Duty, Gears of War style shooting game. The only positive thing I can say about this game is it follows with the movie other than that, this is just a cheap, rushed, knock off.â »
« Horrible game, yeah you can switch characters but there is no f* difference. It's a Call of Potter: Duty Hallows. Too short, Kinect and side missions were dropped. Don't waste your gaming dollar in this. »
