    I actually enjoyed this game, i played it many times on my Xbox but i dont play so much. But this game is great, this is how a licensed game should be. Plain amazing.

    Decent adventure with some frustrating platforming and short length. Hogwards seems much bigger than it actually is and exploration isn't satisfying. A few fun levels where you learn and master your spells but they also don't have a final dungeon to fully test you with all your spells. Right when progression his getting it's stride the final disappointing boos happens and it's over.

    The shining spots are the house points which actually matter and they can be earned and lost optionally. So winning the house cup at the end of the game is optional and must be earned. The collectibles are also fun with them being 100 hundred wizard cards with a simple illustrations and a small sentences of who they are.

    The biggest flaws are the load times. Dear good they are long and consistent. 1/5 of my playtime was probably load times. the stealth sections will also angry some as getting caught actually costs you 5 house points which can quickly go up.    … Expand

    This is the superior version of all the console versions. Haven't played the PC version. I love collecting wizard cards and the quidditch matches. Atmosphere and score is so amazing. It's still a joy to play today. Pick this up as it's relatively cheap across all platforms.

    Despite little replay value, Chamber nonetheless provides a gratifying ride. [Feb/Mar 2003, p.84]

    With a great story and plenty to do, the replay value makes this a game worthy of a purchase.

    A very well done 3D adventure game filled with a fun quest, challenging puzzles and an intuitive control scheme and magic system.
