Reception

Reception to the game has been largely negative. Jim Sterling of Destructoid scored Deathly Shallows "1 out of 10" saying: "It is clear that those behind the game know what a useless waste of time it is, and awkwardly glued the James Pond name to it [in] order to con fans".[1] They placed it in 2nd place on their list of the worst games of 2011.[2]
