Alittle on the short side...

This game is one of the best ive ever played. But, its too short. I beat it in 3 hours without trying. Also, there isnt much walkthrough or a map so u dont know where ur going. Dont get me wrong, this is the BEST game ive ever played, buts its easy. ON the BAD side, you cant pass the cut scenes. The Cut scene on the last level is 5 minutes long. And u have to see it EVERYtime u challenge valdamore (i dont read the harry potter books, so i dont know wats his name)Luckily, i only needed 3 chances to beat him. He is VERY hard but not frustrating, just challenging. I heard that Harry potter and the chamber or secrets is coming out, i hope that its the same great graphics and everything, just alittle harder. Anyways, RENT IT BEFORE U BUY.

IF U GET TO THE LEVEL WHERE U MEET HAGRID, THEN UR ABOUT HALF WAY DONE. IF U GOT THERE IN LESS THEN AN HOUR AND A HALF, THEN DONT COSIDER BUYING THIS GAME CUASE ITS TOO EASY.

DONT GET ME WRONG, ITS THE BEST GAME, JUST TOO EASY.

A MUST have for a ps Game!!!!!

i think it is a brilyant game fun for ages i would say 10-14,15. one of the problems with the game is that i think it should be just a bit more like the book.
it is an adventures game lots of fun but it would only be fun for a person who likes mistery and adventure, if u like sport and car games it wonet be that much fun for u.
the game is interesting compered with the book it is more exiting playing the game than reading the book.
the bit were u get to play quiditch (how ever u spell it)is i would think the best part of the game.
the graphics are ok but they could be better.
so overall the game is pretty fun and exiting sometimes very hard but it is an exallent game after u play this and read all the books u will want them to make the rest of the games from each book so i can't wait to play the seconed on.

Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone for playstation is mostly just trying to hit the right buttons at the right time ,which can be very frustrating at times .The characters are a bit blocky and quidditch is nothing but flying through little hoops.The game can be fun at certain times. I would recomend that you buy this game only if you are a HUGE fan of Harry Potter.

I loved it, but I still think it's okay.

I have owned this game for like forever. When I first played it, (I wasn't a Harry Potter fan and was was like younger than 10) I got scared to death by Peeves and got stuck in Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson. I gave up and didn't start playing it until I was 12 and a Harry Potter Fan. Bacisly, young children will not like this game unless you turn the sound off and they know how to read (It has subtitles) or you read for them (It scared my friend's little sister who's a fan of Harry Potter so bad that I had to show her it's okay once you get past Peeves). If you are older and a fan, you will simply enjoy it. Now, the graphics aren't that good (You don't even see the mouth's moving, will atleast not in the PC version) and there were a few times were I got stuck. The game is really fun once you get a hang of it, but sadly it it almost impossible to beat You-Know-Who (I've started games for months and I'm still haven't beat him yet and I have a walkthru too). This is the ideal gift for Harry Potter Fans.

If you are confused about my comments about the game, perhaps you are thinking about remake of this game which is a bit better. Thank you for reading and I hope this review has helped you decide what might be in your future collection.

Fun the First Time

Harry Potter, the video game, is a lot of fun while you're playing it for the first time, but once you have won there is little else that you can do (except for play it again). It also gives very little storyline guidance, so if you haven't read the book then you probably won't know what's going on. It's a good game, but once you've won the fun is gone as well.

Worst Game ever

There are so many problems with this game. First of all, how about letting us save the game while were fighting the Dog, plant, keys,chessboard,Troll, knights, or Voldemort. Not to mention the game keeps freezing. So even if you spend the four hours trying to get past Voldemort your game will probably freeze and you'll have to start back at the dog. Horrible Game.

Good game, but not for people with slow reflexes....

This game has nice 3D action and some puzzles that that reminded me of those in "Bug's Life" but with much better background animation. The characters, setting, etc. are taken from the film, and the storyline is a lot of fun -- at least, as far as I got. The problem is, quite a few of the challenges are of the high-speed "arcade" variety that I have difficulty with because of poor eye-hand coordination. A lot of the challenges are also timed, which is a BIG problem for people with slower reflexes like me. I got as far as the broom-chase around the castle grounds, where you have to fly your broom in 3D, avoid flaming balls, and bash the nastly bully -- all at the same time. This one isn't timed, but it is frustrating. After hours of trying I finally gave up. I just don't have the right reflexes. This is something to seriously consider if you or your child is also challenged in this way. It would have been nice to be able to by-pass this scenario and get on with the rest of the game, but I did not find a way to do that (sigh). And for that oversight, I'm docking it a star.

Get it NOW!

I, like many parents, have been waiting for this game! It's here and it's GREAT! It doesn't disappoint. Great graphics and voices, although the faces of the characters are kind of weird. I bought this as an early birthday present for my daughter and we're already fighting over it! You get to start practicing riding a broom within the first 5 minutes of game play (flying through hoops; reminding me of Spyro). Another plus for parents: it's got great music....nothing "irritating"! A definite MUST for Christmas!

Great For All Ages

Ok, I'll cut to the chase. I've never read any of the Harry Potter books but love playing these games. They stick pretty close to the storyline (from what I've seen in the movies,) and although not incredibly difficult, are extremely fun to play. I'm a teenager, yet still enjoy casting spells and collecting the chocolate frogs. The game has good gameplay and dialogue with plenty of variety. Still, it has a few downfalls: 1) Jumping and doing special maneuvers can be difficult with the controls. 2) Save Points: You kind of have to play for a while to be able to save. This can be frustrating if you're really far and die or really have to turn off the game but haven't gotten a chance to save. *Otherwise the game is awesome. I highly recommend all 2, soon to be 3 games in the series.
