    The game is so fast-paced, it's often difficult to keep track of the action. [Jan 2004, p.161]

    While Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup is a faithful handheld version of the literary sport, it doesn't quite work as a game without the feeling of flight that is Quidditch's most magical aspect.
  3. IGN

    Admittedly a shallow game design and leaves a lot of room for improvement if it wants to really establish itself as a sport.

    While EA has done an OK job of turning quidditch into a video game, the sport itself doesn't have enough depth to it to headline a stand-alone product.

    Multi scrolling levels give the game a 3D appearance which will fool some gamers for a while but it's hard not to get bored playing on the same plane.

    Potter fans may like the game because it lets them experience Quidditch first hand, but this isn't the kind of sport you play for hours on end. [Spring 2004, p.42]
