Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is a Platforming game available on the 360. It can be played in Thirdperson Cooperative modes.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

Family Gamer review Thu, 15 Jul 2010

Lego Harry Potter's turnkey premise doesn't hold it back from advancing both game play and experience. Our family lapped up the co-op platforming and fell in love with the endearingly blocky rendering of Harry Potter's world.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is exactly what you are expecting. Just like the co-operative Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones games you and a friend bash your way through a quick witted rendering of the first four Potter books. It's a platform game that mixes in a fair share of lever pulling and assembly and is endlessly playable.
