An unusual sports game

Quidditch World Cup is basically a sports game. This isn't my genre, but since I spent an extra 6 hours more than needed on Chamber of Secrets fooling around with Gnome-flinging, flying and Quidditch, I thought I'd give this a shot.

Now I find the game to be extremely addicting.

The basic gameplay is simple. It suits me just fine, although some sports genre enthusiasts might wish for more, such as vertical control. Perhaps in a sequel.

The International Teams are colorful and amusing. The first three offered up as a choice (US, England and Japan) are also the three countries with the biggest HP/videogame markets. The themes of the various fields reminds me of Disney World's Epcot World Showcase. Colonial for the US, Bavarian for Germany. However, given the castle and wizard theme of Harry Potter this doesn't seem out of order.

Scoring against the other teams is amazingly easy. Most players will find themselves with scores like 460 to 10. However, it'll be fun and the frustration level is low. Once the Comet 360 level is beaten a special 2-player level using the Hogwarts Teams called "Queerditch" will unlock. With another human player, the game stops being easy and scoring is low, making the dependance on the Snitch more like the books. This will satistfy those who get bored with easy wins.

Quidditch is Awesome!!!

You don't have to be a Harry Potter fan to love this game! It is really fun and easy. I bought the game about a week ago and have already beaten it. You start out picking one of the four Hogwarts houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw)to competer to win the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup. When you win the Quidditch Cup, you can try for the World Quidditch Cup! You can play as any of the nine teams, including USA, and compete against the other countries in differing Quidditch fields! Its awesome! When you win the Quidditch Cup, you unlock the first ever Quidditch Field called Quidditch Marsh, where you can just play a regular game without trying to win a cup or anything, just a regualr game. Well, hope this helped you in making your decision on buying the game!

Smashing, blows all others away!!!

The graphics are amazing. If you don't have "Quidditch Through The Ages" its a little confusing. The game is cool. If I had a 6th star I'd give it. Its like your realy on a broom!!!

Finally the Game has been made

Playing this game is a real treat! There is nothing better than playing the Magical Pastime of quiditch. It is really amazing because it's like you're in the magical world. This game is one of the most fun things I've ever done, but what's really great is how you can actually go to the World Cup.

Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup is also unique because it is the first Harry Potter game with a Multiplayer option. This is one of the funnest parts about this game. You can battle a freind and crush him. Imagine you playign the Multiplayer Madden 2004, NBA LIVE, and NHL Hockey all rolled into one, in the Air...Pretty Cool,huh?

This game is unlike any sports games ever made, and that's why it will never be topped. Any sports fan, no matter if you like Harry potter or not, will love this game, it's just like a mix of basketball, football and hockey on a broomstick.

Overview:

Fun-13/10, the multiplayer really gives it an excellent edge.

Gameplay- 11/10 Nice gameplay, and cool to do awesome moves.

Graphics- 10/10 just like watching the Harry Potter Movies

Difficulty-11/10 Starts of Boring when you're playing the Hogwarts teams, but get's progressively harder.

Overall- 45/40, AMAZING game.

Amazing game, amazingly fun..Buy this great game, there is no sports game comparable to this game...it is very fun, not to metion difficult. BUY THIS GAME!!!

The first time I played this game was at my freinds house and i couldnt stop playing it! I mean this game has everything i would expect a quidditch game to have.
Like in the other harry potter games the only thing you can do is control hary and thats all! But in this game you have complet contol over every one! You can hit a bludger at some one, you can score with the quafful.
The specil moves in this game are great you cant even hit people off there brooms for a short period of time.
and the varity of the teams in this game is great you can be US or england.
To make a long story short if your a potter fan or even just a vidio game fan this game is a must own!

This is a wonderful game for all Harry fans. You get put right inside the game and it feels like you're at Hogwarts! I would recommend this to everyone! Although, it seems fairaly easy to win the games but is still a good expeirence.

If you are a die hard Harry Potter fan, this is the game for you!! Finally, they put out a game devoted entirely to the wild wizard game quidditch. The effects are amazing and the game play is nothing short of excellent. Both children and adults alike will enjoy hours of game play with this latest version of Harry Potter games.
