Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2... SUCKS?!

According to most people who play the game, it's a terrible end to the series (not the movie! It's great, according to almost anyone! :D).

The score on Metacritic so far is 55/100, which is freaking terrible. It's probably ALMOST as bad as Duke Nukem Forever... but unfortunately, it's made after an amazing movie, which was made from an amazing book. I don't know why people don't understand that different forms of media like books, movies and games all need to be made SEPARATELY NOT TOGETHER!

Book -> Movie (Harry Potter) --- WONDERFUL!

Book-> Game (Metro 2033) --- WONDERFUL!

Book-> Movie -> Game (ANYTHING!) --- TERRIBLE!

Book-> Game -> Movie (ANYTHING!) --- TERRIBLE!
