Each contestant in this international competition must confront a fire-breathing dragon, rescue friends from the icy depths of the Black Lake, and navigate the twisting mysteries of a vast, dangerous maze. Players experience all the thrills of the movie - from the Quidditch World Cup campsite to a heart-stopping duel with Lord Voldemort himself. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all playable characters, modeled after their big-screen counterparts. In this game, an all-new spell-casting system allows players to feel the magic for the first time as the controller shakes and reacts with every flick of the wand. Players can also team up with friends in co-operative play to combine their magic and produce more powerful spells than ever before. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    The game changes a few of the things Harry fans have come to expect from the games, and though aimed at a younger audience, Harry fans will find a lot to like in the game.

    The game's not perfect. There are some camera issues. Some AI issues. And I really would have preferred to have more control over spells. But it still arrives as a solid entry to the series. Kids will probably like it a lot.

    A mostly average button masher that has the good luck of being associated with the hottest kids' property to come along in years.

    A remarkably solid and substantial game. Certainly no one should be ashamed of owning it or giving it as a gift this yuletide.

    Somewhat annoyingly, the game often requires you to tackle each level a multiple number of times in order to collect items such as shields before the next area is unlocked.

    From a nice platform game this evolved into, not sure what. Hack'n'slash/shooter something? Complete garbage in my opinion.

    Really a treeible thing, not bieng able to choose the resoloution or controls. Well the controls are fine by me (I learn fast !!!). But i Really a treeible thing, not bieng able to choose the resoloution or controls. Well the controls are fine by me (I learn fast !!!). But i really want to increase the resolution. I got a 7800GT and it really is a shame to be playing at 800 x 600. (looks more like 640 x 480) The Anti Alaising was fixed with the control center for ATI and nVidia so that isnt a problem. On the whole the game is crap because of the camera angels. I quit playing this game and switched back to Farcry for the time bieng.… Expand

    Now the controls have changed, you can't rotate the camera, you can't aim your spells, and its more like a RPG than an adventure game.
    I feel like i'm playing in my playstation 1 game again...
    You can't change controls OR resolution, or graphics, and you don't explore the whole castle, you chose levels, over and over again, cause when you get a shield, you go to the main screen again.

    Really dissapointing game, especially considering the previous three.    … Expand

Completely strays from the previous games and takes out all the best parts such as being able to explore Hogwarts! Instead you are left with a menu to choose levels from and each level consists of running around and spamming jinxes at annoying creatures that keep spawning endlessly.

    The game is a technical mess. THERE ARE NO OPTIONS. You can't even change resolution. The only option is changing subtitles between ON and OFF. Seriously? The controls are sluggish. It takes 1 second for the character to move after you've pressed a button.

    Whoever you play as, the other two are going to be a pain in the ass and enrage you each time they're required to cast a spell together with you.

    I hope the next game doesn't follow this formula.    … Expand
