User Submitted Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-06-01 very disappointed I could not get the controls to work well, I couldnt move harry, ron, and hermione at all. I couldnt cast spells where I intended...supposedly the game is better with a gamepad, but I'm a casual gamer and not going to purchase one. I loved the first three; I'm very disappointed with this one. Date: 2006-05-24 Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire for PC I was very disappointed with this game and I haven't even completed all the tasks yet. I'm still stuck in the Forbidden Forest and this game is trying my patience. The makers seemed to have sacrificed ease of motion for better graphics. One minute one is running up a flight of stairs and in the next moment a tree is in the way obscuring the view. There aren't many choices to play with, with respect to keys for movement or for casting spells etc. Compared to the 3 other games Goblet of Fire seems to be a letdown. If you choose to be frustrated by buying this game then I wish you the best of luck. Date: 2006-04-19 REALLY GREAT GAME!!! I don't know why everyone thinks that this game sucks because it sure doesn't. Sure the camera angle is a little screwed up but that's really the only thing that's wrong with it, and I am already used to it. Now, this game is different from all of the other Harry Potter games but it's not worse, Its actually one of the better ones. I think that the reason why everyone is bashing it is because they had 3 games that came out and they were all similar, and the one time when they change it everybody hates it...but I love it!! It depends on what type of games you like. If you are a very action packed, adventure-type gamer, this game is perfect. And even if you are not, it's still a fabulous game. The graphics are UNBELIEVABLE!! I mean they are CRAZY!! And I think that they use the real actors and actresses voices! It's unbelievably accurate to the movie. Don't let the other reviews discourage you. I thought that this game would be crappy too. But I had a demo of it on my Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire DVD. And I thought that the demo was great, so I asked for it for Easter and I got it and it's excellent! And the game is challenging but yet its not too easy....but it will still take you awhile to finish it. So the bottom line is THIS GAME IS GREAT!!!! (well at least I think it is :) Date: 2006-04-09 SO DISAPPOINTED!!! I absolutely agree with any other person who thinks this game sucks. I, like many others, played the last three games and they were sooo cool. When I started playing this one (the Quidditch World Cup), I thought - wait a minute - this looks like something from 1995. In the previous games, I loved exploring around Hogwarts, and in the second game, I loved duelling. I really hated the "access the Pensieve and select a level to play" theory. What do they think they were doing? In addition, sometimes I have no clue as to what is going on - what was I supposed to do? It's ridiculous finding those godforsaken shields to complete the level. Plus, often Harry, Ron, and Hermione are so small that I can't even see them properly. I dislike the perspective of the game (being forced to observe the scene from above is terrible). The levels are often ridiculous as well - it just doesn't make sense that there is a Blast-Ended Skrewt in the greenhouse, and it is ridiculous that one of the levels that you "unlock" tells you to "smash everything within your sight". They took away jumping, and they took away the whole feel of the game! It's stupid that Harry, Ron and Hermione are just so stupid in the game! They never cooperate well when casting spells together are needed. They react extremely slowly, and by then you should have been devoured by a Dugbog. The Triwizard tasks were a disaster. I had no idea how I was supposed to destroy all that marine life in the lake during the second task using the pathetic 'Ebublio' spell. In the third task I had no idea as to which direction I ought to go to, and when I finally stumbled upon the two mega-sized Blast-Ended Skrewt, it is impossible to utitlise the equally pathetic 'Inflatus' spell effectively on them. There are too many beans. You almost definitely have to do the first task hundreds of times if you want to "unlock" the next level on the Pensieve, and you get almost 400 beans each time. I wound up with about 15000 beans for each of the three playbable characters, which is quite useless except for purchasing useless cards which you can equip your character with for "improving" their skills. There is no interaction with other students, and I really don't understand why the exterior of Hogwarts can be deserted, even though it's raining (why would Harry, Ron, and Hermione even go out if it's raining?). You get the feeling that Harry, Ron and Hermione are the only students at Hogwarts. You also get the feeling that the only teacher is Mad-Eye Moody, which is ridiculous! I don't understand why I even bought this game! The screenshots absolutely blew me away, and I thought "wow!" when I saw them, and the 'game features' totally made me crazy. The game cover was absorbing, but the game...blech. Don't buy it. It's a waste of money, time and effort. Buy something more interesting. Let's not waste our money on something that seemingly came from the Games section of the Accessories in Windows 95. In short, this game SUCKS! Date: 2006-04-04 Disappointed, As all other people, I was disappointed. There's no exploration like in the Chamber Secrets and the Sorcerer's Stone (they kind of messed up on the Prizoner, but it was still good). I was so excited on getting this game-the book is the best, so the game must be the best! But no, it's just a game for murdering pyromaniacs who can't find anything to kill so they kill stuff on their computer. It was still quite good, and addicting. You get used to the controls after a while. But the whole idea of the levels was completely messed up, too arcade styled. Still think worth buying, but buy the others first.
