I purchased this game for my son who is an avid Harry Potter fan. Some of the graphics are not that great, but he loves it and he especially likes the flying car part of the game. It is one he plays again and again.
A Fun Game

This version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets isn't as fun as the PS2, XBOX, and Gamecube versions but it's still fun enough to play. I found that the things that they left out of the PS2, XBOX, and Gamecube versions are in this game(like the Professor Sprout level, the flying car and the slide to the chamber) and same goes for the PS2, XBOX, and Gamecube versions, Whatever's in these versions are not in the PS1 version.(it's the same way with the first game) So if you put the PS1 with the PS2 or XBOX or Gamecube versions together you pretty much have the whole movie.I still can't get past that slide going to the chamber and on the first game I'm stuck in the wizard's bank(can't spell their name).I think of this game as one of them games that when you have no other game to play this is the game to play, probably cause I haven't beat this game nor the first game yet.
Good Game

When I drove home with the game, I searched the instructions at the beginning, noticing exciting changes like the increase in the size of Hogwarts. Now that I think about it? Big whoop.
To be frank, I cannot see for the life of me why, if you have a better gaming platform, you get a better game. I played my friend's version for Playstation 2 and there is SO much more to do. Hogwarts seems to be based off the movie version, as it is huge and has things you would actually see. In the PSX version, you are in corridors that do not follow Hogwarts standard (maze-like) The worst part, in my opinion, is the Gryffindor Common Room. One would just love to have a look around, right? Hah. In this game you have very little to do.
I guess I'm more or less a stickler for roleplaying, and was hoping the game had a more realistic tone to it. Repeating what An Amazon.com Customer said, 'Prof. Lockhart looks like someone hit him with a can opener. Dobby looks like a rat. Colin Creevey is tiny, and Ginny Weasley looks like a pig.' It's all too true. I would love to have moving staircases, secret passages only avaliable with certain spells and more prefects roaming the hallways at dark...it adds a sense of adventure to the entire thing. Oh, by the way, even though Harry FINALLY TALKS, his mouth never moves (or if it does, the inside of his mouth is the same color as his face)
Good...but not great.

This game was fun, but I didn't like the loads(they took WAY too long.) Also,the camera was a little strange. I did like all the secrets and passages. Overall, it was good, but not great.
Fun, But Short

I tried this game and it was fun, including the part with the Basilsk. I would like it to be a bit longer. Any Harry Potter fan should buy this game.

Harry potter is cool or should i say it is magical cause you must buy it.It is the best better than the last one this is more exiting,adventerous,magicalistic,faster and funnier so buy it.It will make your magic spells real and you can also buy an harry potter box it has a wand and some fantastic tricks and spells buy it from Toysrus,toymaster,james selby and argos and becarefull when your playing the game because there are things that you have never seen before like ghosts,real snakes,weasels and birds but harrys ablities will save you and you can also drive the weasleys family car and also remember you are brave like a lion because you are in griffindor they are lions.

If you have the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets DVD and watched the preview of the video game on the extras disk, THIS IS NOT IT; that's the Playstation 2 (or "better") game you're seeing. This one is a pale imitation. You mostly run around Hogwarts, shoot little balls of light out of your wand, and face sequential challenges, all of which seem to revolve around precision-jumping from one platform to another.
It's not a BAD game; it has it's moments. But it shows that even the irrepressible Harry Potter can't escape the Curse of the Movie-Spinoff Video Game.
The Chamber of Secrets has been opened.

The game Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the PS1 is very fun. Now I'm a master at video games but when I got this game 3 years ago, it was very difficult (and it still is). I beat this game like 2 years ago, and I still play it. The Harry Potter and the Prisiner of Azkaban game is way much easier than this. That game took me 2 weeks to beat it. This game took me nearly a year beat!The graphiics may stink (It's PS1 and not Xbox) but this is still a really hard and fun game. You can drive the flying car, go to Ron's house, play quidditch, find secret passage ways, explore Hogwarts, and duel other people. Doesn't all that sound like fun to you even though the graghics stink. This game is way much better than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Don't you think so?
