    A big request to the developers (if they still remain) to make a Russian translation of the game (text and voice-over)! I really like the game, but it's very uncomfortable to play without Russian translation.

    I saw the movies and they were ok. I thought the game was gonna be decent, but it just made me want break the game in half. Harry Potter walk right for pete's sake. This game is only for dedicated fans. Really really really dedicated fans...

    It is really boring. I got bored of it in about ten minutes.

    The atmosphere is the best thing about this game, but the rest is just a very mediocre game. The gameplay and spells are soooo situational some of them feel extremley usless(unlike flipendo which is really overused) the map is really big but it feels really empty, there isn't much to discover and the story is a mess. It's a harmless but bad game.

    What do you get when you combine fighting-against-the-controls style difficulty with easy-to-cheat-by-spamming-X style gameplay? One of the most pathetic, awfully designed Potter games there are. Just wretched.

    For Potter fans of all ages, Chamber of Secrets is a must-have.

    There is a glaring misbalance in the game progression, and additionally, the load times are almost grotesquely long, a fact that can lead to some unnecessary frustration.

    Another strange weakness is the storytelling, which glosses over key events and explains itself so poorly that if you don't know the story already, you might not figure it out. [Jan 2003, p.36]
