H.P. and the Sorcerer's Stone PC Game

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 2 / 2

I really like this game, and so does my 5 year old! He's a master of the Disney action games, so this one is pretty easy for him. However, it keeps him on his toes, with just enough "scare" to keep him interested. I know the game reviews panned this game, but we've found it highly entertaining around here. There are only a couple of minor "flaws" that I see: 1) the broom flying is awkward, and, 2) when restarting after a "faint" you must see some cut-scenes over and over again without being able to skip over them. Not terrible things to overcome, by any stretch. Very good, clean game for younger gamers 5-10, a little bit of scare (ghosts, troll, scary teachers, etc.) but overall enjoyment.

Harry Potter ROCKS!

I bthink that the Harry Potter game is really great. Even my sister liked it who despises Harry Potter.

"Magical!"

This game is, in a word, magical! I got it for Christmas and I played it once a few days later, when I loaded it. Since then, I've only got to play it once more because my entire family has been hogging it! The graphics are great, the game plays quickly, and the makers really paid attention to details. Wizard wanna-bes collect Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, and Wizard Trading Cards while making their way through challenges. Teachers like Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick teach spells that are used in the challenges to collect special Challenge Stars, beans, frogs, and cards. There are always hidden secret rooms or passageways to explore that you haven't seen before, and several witches and wizards to talk to. Besides classes, the player, who controls Harry Potter, of course, has to defeat lots of his enemies...I highly reccomend this game. It can be played over and over again and continue to be extremely entertaining every time!

Disappointing, to say the least

I agree whole-heartedly with the review titled "disappointing eye candy". I have experienced every problem he mentioned and then some. The biggest disappointment overall to me is the fact that it is rated for children age 6 and over. My 6 year old has spent half of the time he's had with the game watching me get through the hard spots of the game for him (and I usually have to make multiple attempts myself.) We have finally given up the game at the point where we have to chase Malfoy on the broomstick and knock him off - it has proven to be an impossible task. My 10 and 8 year olds have not had any better luck than I have. The least Electronic Arts could do is publish a strategy guide to take away some of the frustration. A visually stunning but functionally useless game, in my opinion.

The game is buggy. I encountered poor sound on all systems I tried it on. Can't bypass the opening screens. Slow loading. All games have issues, but these seem worse than normal.

EA could have done much better. May not run on some systems at all.

of course

This game was very entertaining- follows the Harry Potter story so it is fun. The graphics seem to be pretty good and it looks like it will be fun. Unfortunately, if you have an older computer, the graphics slow it down too much to really enjoy it. Good kid/entertaining adult game.

O.K. game. Graphics are good. One bad thing is the game only takes 5hrs. to beat. Voldermort is almost impossible to beat.

I really enjoyed this game even though it took me forever to beat it! The 2nd quidditch match is just too hard! I really enjoyed the Forbidden Corridor, though. But I think it would be really neat if they could add a Dark Forrest to it.
