    Definitely personifies the magnificence of the sport, but it is lacking because it's not as advanced as I had hoped it would be.

    The controls are easy to figure out, and the tutorials not only help you learn how to play but also unlock magic collecting cards to unlock secrets within the game. The AI is tough, even at the get go, but the game remains fun nonetheless.

    It really only has two problems, both of which can be overcome very easily. It's way to easy in the single player mode, and the lack of true 4 dimensional movement keep the game from being super great.

    The highest compliment we can give EA's portrayal of JK Rowling's magic-infused faux sport is that it's so much fun (for fans and nonfans alike) that it makes us wish Quidditch were actually real.

    What EA has so successfully done is taken a franchise that scares away most hardcore sports fans and built a game that's technically solid, entertaining, original, and unbelievablly fun. [Nov 2003, p.142]
