Date: 2005-12-31 Lost the charm and fun of the original three games As a great fan of both computer games and Harry Potter, the Sorcerer's Stone was a game I had to buy, and I never regretted it. Along with "Chamber of Secrets" and "Prisoner of Azkaban," I spent many hours playing and having a lot of fun. All three of those games had great replay value; I've played "Sorcerer's Stone" countless times and I'm still not tired of it. With each release, the graphics have improved and the gameplay has become even more engaging. When I heard of the release of the "Goblet of Fire" movie, the first thing I thought of was the game that would accompany it. Of course I bought the game, without bothering to look at its reviews. The game proved to be a major disappointment. All of the charm and fun in the first three games has vanished. Most Harry Potter fans are more likely to enjoy the exploring of the castle and interaction with other people at Hogwarts. That was what I enjoyed most of all; what fan doesn't like to pretend that they go to Hogwarts and cast spells, fly, play Quidditch, and live in the fabulous castle? Just running around the castle, collecting things, interacting with other students and finding secret areas was fun. But that part of the game was completely taken away, and we are left with almost nothing but fighting. Now, not everyone is like me, and I can understand that EA might want to attempt to cater to those who prefer casting spells at opponents. That is understandable. But the game gets one star because they didn't even manage to make the fighting work properly. The camera angle switches and can become odds, and the controls are difficult to master, plus, they can't be changed. There is no customization allowed with the controls or other options in the game. The whole thing seems more like a console game set for PC, and it doesn't flow well. If you were a fan of the original three games, this one is almost guaranteed to disappoint you. I didn't even manage to finish playing it the entire way through, and I wish I could get my money back. Hopefully EA will return to the previous style of games for "Order of the Phoenix," but I won't be the one buying it to find out. Date: 2005-12-31 HP Goblet of Fire I am outraged at the new HP game. Below are some reasons why: * In the new HP game you can't even point Harry in the rite direction!!!!! * Also there isn't any order to the game at all!!!!! * In this game Ron and Hermione don't help Harry very much. This game is a must NOT play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Date: 2005-12-30 Very poorly done If you enjoyed the "first-person caster" perspective of the previous games, you'll want to avoid this one. Let me list a few of the many things wrong with it: - No mouse! You have to use the arrow keys to walk around. - No first person view! The camera is always facing north, and doesn't stay behind the characters. This means that you could be walking towards the bottom of your screen and have no idea what's there. This is probably the worst component of the whole game. - Arcade style: This is not an exploration game -- it's a PS2 game redone for the PC. You use the arrow keys to move, and the Z, X, C, and S keys to cast spells. (See the PS2 controls re-mapped to the PC keyboard?) 95% of the game is jinxing creatures that keep attacking you while you're collecting shields. It's boring after about 5 minutes. Stay away from this "dungbomb!" Date: 2005-12-30 Very dissapointing I was soo excited to recieve it for christmas, but it is not worth it. You have all the challenges laid out infront of you, the view is awful, and you dont get to explore, it is all action!! I like the way you can choose whether you want a charm, jinx or accio, but other than that and the amazing graphics, it is pointless. To get some of the shields no one taught you how/what to jinx to get it!! No one teaches you the spells, you need to figure them out yourself. I think the third game was the best and that EA games should use it as a template for the fifth game. The fourth is fun, but aquard
