Is the gameplay different on DS compared to what it'll be on consoles?
I haven't seen a single gameplay trailer for the DS version, and after how they ruined Lego Starwars DS, i'm not bothering to download till I know.

They did what now? Are you talking about Complete Saga? Because that's still the best Lego game.

Nevermind.
I was being a dumbass. A buddy of mine said they ruined the gameplay for DS Starwars, and I took his word for it.
Now that I actually watch a gameplay trailer, I see it's basically the same game...jesus.

Downloading HP now.

To be fair to your friend, he might have just played Lego Star Wars II DS, which was original trilogy only and used a completely different engine, and it WAS shit.

YESH!!!!!!!

This was slated on IGN to come out on June 29, 2010. But it's 8 days early!!!!

I'M IN LAVVVVV.
You do know this site doesn't distribute roms, right? Anyways, it's out early because this is the internet and someone wasn't lazy.

So, let me guess, even this shitfuck has anti-piracy too, right? Give me a goddamn break already.

So didn't they dumb this down to isometric or something? That's what I've read on Google. The 3D ones were good; I guess they got lazy.

Ah I'm glad I'm not the only one, I thought I had downloaded a fake.

I also tried wood R4 1.9 and it didn't run. After loading, I just got a black screen.

Yeah this is isometric, but I don't think it ruins the game or anything.
It's still playable and entertaining.
To me though, LEGO Batman and LEGO Indiana Jones (1) are the best.

No, see, I thought it wasn't even going to use 3D, since isometric is usually the poor man's pseudo-3d-wannabe. But yeah, after FINALLY getting to see some of the game, it does use proper 3D but with an isometric camera view.

I believe however that the anti-piracy in this game involves you not being able to interact with anything. I got to Dudley, but I couldn't make him interact with the green-outlined box in the Dursley's house. I'm hoping this also explains why the BAXY buttons are completely unused (since if the game was solely touch-screen driven, they would've given you an option to choose your hand of preference).

Sigh. Every game has anti-piracy these days, even the ones that aren't really "top titles" like 100 Classic Books. I hope something improves soon so we can catch up about this nonsense. There ought to be a site that just deals with anti-piracy protections and doesn't hide it in a bunch of forums where people are just discussing off-topic things, ranting about the game content, or merely talking about the process of trying to fix it so that the actual final fix ends up being lost on some obscure thread page that one must click and read through to find. After all, isn't technology about simplifying routine processes?

Found with minimal hassle and confirmed working on Cyclo firmware 1.58 stable. Graphics seem like something of a step back IMHO but then I've only seen Privet Drive so far.

The 'AP' in this is similar to Iron Man 2.

Re-Encrypt your rom, then run as a encrypted ROM (from the DS BIOS on NO$GBA for example) and it runs fine, with minimal graphical errors.

If only games with AP got released precracked, we wouldnt have this problem... Unfortunately, most of the release groups and dumpers don't know how to crack

I'm finding the game to be surprisingly enjoyable so far. I just completed the six level of the first story. The touch-screen controls can be a bit finicky, especially when trying to cast the attack spell, but the game feels more like what I want from a Harry Potter game than the last game put out by EA.

I'm left-handed, so I'm just using the stylus for everything, and it works good. It basically plays like Zelda DS. It's definitely not what I was expecting, though. Most of the other LEGO games on DS have the camera closer in and focus more on pressing A to put things together in order to progress. This actually has a decent focus on spells. I like it. I'm probably going to play through the whole thing.
