This game is very neat, but it's harder than it looks! Young kids should have someone there to help them. The graphics are amazing, but make sure to decrease your mouse sensitivity in the 'options' otherwise you might get extremely queasy playing the game. The flying lessons/quidditch is tough to get a hang of but really exciting. Overall, very fun.

These game is cool.

This game is rather well done. The zooming view is a huge bonus in my book. when you have Harry look around, the pillars or walls dont get in my viewing way.
I did get a little sea sick playing this game. Controls were fun to use, I am an adult and I even had fun with this game. It was not too hard, and I dont think this is something that needs high cordination, but you should have some good mouse ability.
The grafics were cool and ease of play as well as easyness of play was gratisfying. I always knew what was going on.

4 thumbs up! It would get a 5 in my book if I didn't have to turn it off occationally to get my sea sickness to go away.

I wish I could rate this game higher but neither myself or my son can get past the Learning Spells portion of the game. No matter what we try, Quirrell just tells us that the shape is not right. We each tried for over 20 minutes and still can't get it. Anyone with any advice, please let us know.

I found it very frustrating that the information enclosed with the software did not provide much in the way of trouble shooting. Also, online help or tips would be great. Again, maybe there is more of this type of information later in the game but we just can't get there.

For all the excitement the receipt of this game generated, the frustration has been doubled. Hopefully, we can figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Good but with flaws

This is a nice game, especially for those who aren't diehard gamers of the first person "shooter" genre. For those who bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein along with this game, the graphics will be somewhat disappointing. (I suspect the release of this game was rushed!) I became particularly frustrated with the jumping, but found that using the "auto jump" option solves the problem of falling into the abysses. Likewise, I'm frustrated by the fact that one must use the little books to save the game...an autosave option to be used at any time would be nice, as it is extremely annoying to have to wait through the little scene cuts before resuming play each time. Overall, though, the game is good, and the flying in particular is very entertaining. I hope, though, that they will devote more time to the next game (and one asssumes there will be a next game coming out with the next movie), as there is tremendous potential to create absolutely stupendous graphics and games with this theme.

Fun Game, But Check Min. Requirements

My son got this for Christmas and was a little upset when it didn't run well on his computer -- it required a 400Mhz minimum processor. We loaded on to another computer and found that is a fun game, which requires skill and patience -- as well as a mastery of the mouse. Tnis game is sure to please any Harry Potter fan.

Good Gameplay and Great Graphics!

Besides being one of the best games I've ever played, this game also is the perfect the level of difficulty for almost any gamer, regardless of experience with the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
The game is mostly based on the movie, particularly in the way the characters' faces look. I can guarantee that this game will keep you entertained for many, many hours!

A lot of fun

This game is a lot of clean fun. My nine year old loves it and I play it sometimes. No violence anywhere as could be expected but it plays like a FPS adventure game. Its no suprise to me that the game is based on the technically superior Unreal gaming engine.

It's a good game, but where are the directions to Fluffy? Fluffy is in a door, but I can't seem to find it. Can someone help me out or give me some hints?

thanx,

I bought this for my daughter who is 14. I'll try to review it from her perspective, I'm more used to NOLF, Quake, Half-Life etc. The game was played on a 1GHz P3 with Rage ATI 128 video, 256Meg ram, Windows 2000 Pro.

The graphics and player motions resemble Quake II in detail and responsiveness. The graphics are generally quite good, in some places excellent. The sound effects are consistently good. The character responds well although I would have liked a side-step key. Perspective is good, jumping and climbing are not a problem.

In keeping with the target audience, this game is not about blowing things up, but rather solving puzzles and avoiding bad guys. No-one is ever killed and the worst that happens to you is you faint. I don't know how faithfully the game follows the film or the book, but the buildings, pupils, teachers, and even the idea of splitting the school into competitive houses is right out of the old British school system. I seem to remember more teachers like Snape, though.

Some things I did not like...
* Cannot bypass the cut scenes
* Cannot save game at will, only at selected locations
* Can only load last saved game
* No offensive spells make the final showdown tedious
* Need some chocolate frogs in the last room
* Many activities such as stars and cards seem to have no purpose
* Too short, it only took 6 hours to complete
* Should have added difficulty levels and made the game less linear

Some things I did like...
* Good graphics, excellent sound effects
* Cut scenes are short and contain information
* Subtle comedy, could have used more
* Likable characters, but not preachy
* Very playable, imaginative
* Well crafted for its target audience

Even though it's not publicised, this game runs fine on Windows 2000 Pro with the setup listed at the start of the review.
