    Unfortunately, it can grow a little bit repetitive and is a bit too easy.

    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.

    There is still plenty of variety in gameplay and the AI makes for a more than decent opponent. [Dec 2003, p.92]

    One part hockey, one part soccer and one part pure fantasy, Quidditch World Cup may not have the draw or the depth of Madden, but it is still plenty of fun to play.
  5. GameSpot

    A decent first effort at simulating the chosen sport of wizards, it falls short of its promise primarily because of sluggish controls and shallow gameplay.

    It's all a bit dull, gameplay-wise, until you can trudge through at least one season of shutouts. The good news is that presentation-wise, Quidditch World Cup sparkles.

    It surprises with its cool references and attention to detail, but loses a lot of luster in attempting to appeal to a wee audience.
