This game was the most fun I had with my PS2 since Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone was out. I just want to tell everone that if your Bagging on this game it's because you don't like Harry Potter in the first place, but anyone who does like Harry Potter will love playing this game.
P.S. Anyone can play this game, if I can beat it in two days than anyone can !
My favorite game.

I beat the whole entire game, but it was a real challenge. And my favorite part of the game was beating the basilisk. My second favorite part was beating Aragog. The first parts aren't as fun as the last parts, but they still are fun. This game will give you hours and hours of great fun. I like to play it again and again.
Fun but it doesn't go along with the movie

This game is fun b/c u get ato be Harry. It has awesome graphics and the beginning segment is really like the movie. but the days are so short and there is only one class per day. and what is up with going into the serect rooms every day just to get a new spell?? most levels are pretty easy but i have never had trouble figuring out video games ok now i am certain that this game cannot be beat. i know i said im awesome with video games, but the end with the snake thing is damn near impossible. nothing you do penetrates the FN thing! i guess overall it's ok, but you should only buy it if ur a hardcore HP fan

this is a good game,but there are some downsides.such as,it takes to long to load and in all your classes( except flying) you have to climb through a whole in the wall to get the spell book.
and also you can't ever go to potions class or herbioligy.but the good part is, the graphics are amazing and quidditch is very realistic and a whole lot better than in the first harry potter game.it's also fun to beat the bastillisc.persinolly this is a good game to buy despite the downsides.
Better than the First; Worst then the Third...

This was a pretty good game. I thought the graphics were okay, but Harry lookd and sounded like a three-year-old. Other than that the controls are pretty smooth and the gameplay is okay. You don't see much of Ron and Hermione... but it's fine. Rent this, rent one, buy three.
Addictive

HP & CoS has impressed me in every single aspect. Storyline, tasks, bonus, adventure everything! Though they need to fix the graphics a bit here and there. *grins*
It is quite a challenging game to play, and involve using your head in all aspect. It isn't easy to win but it's fun trying trying to beat again and again. So, it ends up being one of the addictive games out there.
This is so far one of the best game products from Harry Potter's product's line.
Best Harry Potter Game! (so far!)

This is the best harry potter game ! The Prisioner of Azkaban is also the best, but it is easier. I beat the game in 5 days, and I put alot of work into it. I rented the game and it is the best!!! rent games first and if you like them, buy them used. The first time I rented it, I was stuck at the Whomping willow. Here's what you do: Stand bach at all times till the hand on the right reveals its palm. press R1 to target it, and use Flipendo at it. Ron will be tossed around alot. Move up and target the weak spot Ron was talking about. Use Flipendo at it. Repeat the cycle until you have beaten it.
Overall, this is a great game.
Ratings: (as 10 the best)
Graphics: 9/10
Diffulcty: (not really that hard) 8/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Buy this game ! Its worth it!

The PS2 version of the video game "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which is based upon the book (and film) of the same name as written by J. K. Rowling, is a very entertaining & challenging video game. I break down the game into eight areas:
1. Introduction. This includes learning some basic game skills, including how to cast the "Flipendo" spell and tossing gnomes.
2. Whomping Willow. Upon crashing the car into the Whomping Willow, Harry must find his way out into Hogwarts Castle.
3. Daytime Challenges at Hogwarts. Once you get to Hogwarts, Harry is required to perform various challenges as presented by professors during class time. These challenges vary in degree of difficulty and result in Harry obtaining new spells. They often pit Harry against seemingly large foes. House points are obtained upon success. Spells obtained will be used later in the game.
4. Quidditch Matches. These can be quite challenging (and can cause finger strain) as Harry must play no less than three quidditch matches over the course of the game: one against each of the other three Hogwarts houses. Training sessions are included before the three games. House points are obtained for winning matches. (In case Gryffindor doesn't win, any match can be replayed after its conclusion.)
5. Nighttime Clandestine Excursions at Hogwarts. Avoiding the wandering prefects who guard Hogwarts corridors at night, Harry must clandestinely obtain information regarding the Chamber of Secrets from various sources.
6. Battling Aragog & the Basilisk. These two challenges are probably the most difficult for Harry.
7. Lost & Found. These can be done at any time at Hogwarts and increases house points upon success. (If, after defeating the basilisk Gryffindor doesn't have enough house points, you can do several lost & found challenges to obtain the needed points, as the game might suggest.)
8. Wizard Cards & Bertie Botts Beans. Finding Bertie Botts beans replenish Harry's energy and can be used to purchase items at Fred & George's secret store. Wizard cards can be found in chests (which are sometimes locked) or purchased at Fred & George's secret store. Winning wizard cards seemingly has no real impact on winning the game, but can be fun to obtain. Other items can also be purchased from Fred & George's store and used in various ways.
With moving staircases, secret passages, ghosts, spiders, nasty creatures & obnoxious prefects, the PS2 version of the "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" game is quite fun, and I highly recommend it. I did note a few occasional problems with game graphics and the worst-portrayed character was Hagrid. Overall, I rate the game with 4.5 out of 5 stars, rounded up to 5 stars. (In case you aren't sure what to do in a particular part of the game, there are ample tips available on the Internet.)
Fun but tiresome

this game would rule if only two things were changed. no make that three. it should load less, it should talk less, and it should have better controls. it only has avarage controls. it sucks when it comes to lasting 5 minuets without loading, and it won't shut up and let you play. maybe i'm baised, because i love Harry Potter, but it's still really fun.
Fun at first, gets repetitive later on...

At first, I never played this game, and when I finally got to playing it, I thought it was awesome. I played it for probably like 6 hours that day and 6 hours the next day. So the graphics were'nt all that great, and the loading was very slow, but it was still a very good game. After a while, it got confusing, and very hard, and since I was only 9 at the time, I gave up on it. I still can't get the stupid Hogwarts a History book.
