ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!!

I'm extremely disappointed in this game. The controls just don't work. I checked the system requirements before I bought it, and according to the box, I have them. But the game still doesn't work well, AT ALL. I love the previous HP games, but this is a big failure.

Big letdown. Been waiting to get it for christmas. I never knew that EA made such bad games. The big problem is that it doesn't use the mouse. You are forced to use arrow keys for movement, and there is no way to change the controls. The most difficult part of the game is figuring out the main menu.

Do NOT waste your money!

I love the first three HP movie tie-in games. This one, I have sent an e-mail to EA requesting a refund. The controls are terrible (and unchangeable), the response time is beyond sluggish. It is difficult to get your character to face the correct way, I often find myself walking into fires I was just trying to head towards to put out (and talk about slow, my hands will have been off of the keyboard for several seconds when my character takes that plunge).

For all practical purposes, this game is unplayable. I cannot believe that someone in testing didn't say, "We've got to scrap this altogether and start over."

I do want to make this clear: I am writing this regarding the PC version using a keyboard. I have no idea what other platforms are like for this game.

I think EA needs to recall this game and try again.

DISSATISFIED

IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A GAME LIKE THE OTHER HARRY POTTER GAMES YOU ARE IN FOR A BAD EXPERIENCE. THIS GAME HAS NO REAL INTERACTION WITH CHARACTERS LIKE THE OTHERS THERE IS NO FEELING LIKE YOU ARE THERE RELIVING THE MOVIE. ALL THIS GAME HAS TO OFFER IS RUNNING AROUND AND KNOCKING THINGS OVER AND SLAYING THINGS. NO REAL BEAUTY IN THIS ONE AND EA HAS FAILED ON THIS GAME TERRIBLY. SORRY I SPENT THE MONEY. LINDA

This game sucks.

I absolutely LOVED the first three games because the characters were easy to move and the levels were entertaining. I really was looking forward to the new one, but like so many others reviewers stated, was really disappointed at how horrible the graphics were. If you really want to buy this game, buy it for a PS2 where it was originally designed for. Movement is very difficult and it took me a lot longer than the other games to get used to. I hope they redo this one and re-release it. To the folks at EA: remember the saying "KISS".

Bottom line: If you must have it, buy it and play it on PS2. The PC version is a waste of money.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quite nice

I loved the first 3 games, so I was a bit dissapointed when I read all the negative reviews..but I still decided to buy the game! And it was quite good!!!!

I don't really mind the perspective..I got used to it quite soon. Same goes for the steering. You can quickly get into it and then it seems so normal!

Negative for me was that you have to do some levels again to get to the next levels which sometimes annoyed me, but everytime new things came up so it wasn't even very boring!

I liked this game, but I do hope EA goeas back to the original idea..it was better! Still this game isn't as bad as some people say it is!! You quickly get into the game and then you can't stop playing it!!!

SO much worse than the previous ones.

I bought this game thinking it would be a fun one where you could walk around and explore Hogwarts like the previous HP games. It turned out that this is some stupid arcade-style thing with levels. Its really boring, and the controls are terrible. If you don't want to have fun, buy this game!

Muggles are RIght!

I have to agree with most of my fellow reviewers. This game is the worst! There is no mouse control,like the previous games, so you have to use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to move the wizards. With no mouse, it is very hard to manage the games speed and the spells and Jinxs(?) and confusing to the average player. Nothing like the last 2 games! Wanna buy mine Cheap?
