Absolutely Terrible..............

I have all the other Harry Potter games and this one is by far the least fun, least controllable and the most money. I am in total agreement with most other reviews that state this is not a game developed and meant to be played on the PC. It was a huge disappointment in every way. The graphics stink, the cut scenes stink, and it is almost impossible to control your character's direction or aim. Everything is customized and confusing, you are not able to use your mouse. The angles in which you have to view your characters and the surrounding landscapes is awkward and out of focus. I tried playing it and enjoying, I tried overlooking the obvious flaws but in the end, it just wasn't enjoyable in any way. What a shame and shame on EA for making such a low quality game.

YUCK!

I've played the first 3 games and i thought they were great! The controls were awesome and the graphics were pretty good too. Then the 4th one came out so of course i was excited, but i started to play it and it was HORRIBLE! i hated the controls most. I kept dying because i couldn't get Harry to get what i needed. I was very upset. The game was pretty confusing. I really wish i would have known it was like this before i bought. If i would have known i'd could have saved my money to buy something else. This was a waste.

i have the previous 3 games the first 2 on PC and the 3rd on Xbox. they were all excellent games, the 3rd being a little too easy, so i bought this expecting a good game. the only good thing here is the graphics. the most challening part of the game is controls. spell casting is a nightmare, i always forget which button is for what, very linear gameplay. Don't buy this save your money and watch and/or read the book. Hopfully EA fixes these problems for Order of the Phoenix

Worst of the lot

I agree with other reviewers, this is definitely the worst of the four games so far! Don't waste your money! The perspectives are terrible, the directionals haphazard and the overall quality of the game is very low because of it. Obviously EA continues to try to capitalize on the HP phenomenon, and every attempt up until this one has been good, but this one is definitely a miss.

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.

Not that good.

You're not able to go through the castle and other places, just the levels, so it's not that fun. It's not that good, you get very busy playing it, but, well...
I think that the other games are better, at least you get to go through Hogwarts. Better buy another game, and believe me, it's true!I have the entire collection of games from Harry Potter, and this is the worst, you don't even play quidditch, the entire game is based on levels.It has good graphics, PERFECT GRAPHICS, but they should do this game better. In my opinion, Thethird is the best, but the first has horrible graphics.

Wizards' 3-on-3

The game play on GOBLET matches the earier games, as does the graphics.
The most unique feature is also the greatest weakness of the game: Multiple-player game play.

In Harry 1 & 2 you are able to play Harry.
In Harry 3 yor are able to switch from Harry to his wizard cohorts

Now you and you're wizard cohorts can play together (except during Triwizard Challenges in which Harry has to go-it-alone.

This mult-player game play can slow down progress with less experienced player in the mix, but it can be plenty of fun otherwise.

The BB Every-Flavour Beans are a game staple ofcourse, but going through Mad-Eye's lessons on the castle's exterior can literially get circular.

The Tri-Wizard Cup is the focus, with little nod to the Quidditch World Cup (much like the movie version), but the Quidditch World Cup PC Game already covered Cup-play anyway.

Good game, just don't over pay the Muggles for it.
