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

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

    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.

    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.

    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]

    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.

    This is a so so game. The graphics are OK, the gameplay is not very good when your chasing the snitch. but it is kind of fun....
