Hi Transmedia Fan's
For this Tuesday’s game I played
Pottermore. As a fan of the books and the movies I figured it would be a good
fit. This game is definitely for the fans. It has some well put together min
game, like the potions class and dueling club. You can follow the path of Harry
Potter and the game will give a brief explanation of that part of the story.
This path of game play also has additional new content from the author J. K. Rowling.
The Quizzes you take to decide what type of wand you get and what house you are
separated into are well put thought out. Even if you know the books the answers
are obscure enough that the outcome can’t easily be manipulated. But again
these features are in designed with the Potter fan in mind. The casual player
might seem them as peculiarly in depth.
The
game play is unlike the earlier games we played in that you don’t have an avatar.
It’s more like the old RPG text based games. The mini games break away from
that but there is no walking around the Hogwarts campus interacting with other
players. The game does allow for player interaction but you need to seek it out
more. There are lots of message boards and the structure for “house” companionship.
