I rented this game a little while back, hoping for a good time. It was a good time. Great graphics, plenty of adventures, and lots of things go do. The games within the game are pretty cool. And, if your tired, just hop on your broom and fly around the grounds. However, in the long run, after you've finished the game there isn't much else to do. The game is not hard to play. Sometimes you don't really have an idea how to defeat the boss on some levels, but you eventually figure it out. The game isn't very hard though. I rented it for five days, and only got to play it for three days, and I completed the whole thing. So, for young children it might be fun, and more challenging. But, for someone more grown up it might be a bit on the boring side, and not challenging at all. I liked it but, I wouldn't buy it. It's better as a rental.

ARGH!!!!

I am SOOO frustrated!!! Every freakin' night, you have to go somewhere that your not supposed to be! Like the library for example! You have to go to the restricted section to get Hogwarts; a History for Hermione. First of all, if you have EVER read the Harry Potter books (your all pathetic if you didn't) then you know that Hogwarts; a History isn't in the freakin' restricted section! ANYWAY! You get back there, and there are prefects EVERYWHWERE! The camera is so limited in this part, that you can't see ANYTHING!The prefects are staring at everything at once! It is physically impossible for you to get past them unseen! And when you do get caught (as you undoughtedly will) they cry "Get back to your rooms!" or something like that. Then they send you right back to the beginning of the library not to your room! WHAT THE FREAKIN' HECK! If you somehow manage to get past them, then you have to do all this other stuff (including getting attacked by a refrigerater, which I don't see how it relates to the plot)and you can't save until you finish EVERYTHING! It's like "Sorry if you have to leave in the middle of it and can't save, or your younger sibling messes with your game or turns it off. Your just going to have to start over and somehow manage to get past those prefects again, even though the likelyhood of that is like a billion to one." Riding on your broom is fun though and helps relieve stress levels from the prefect parts and gives you something to do when you get stuck. Miraculously, I managed to reach the end. The final "boss" (the basalisk in case you didn't know and in that case I pity you) is the easiest thing that I have ever played and I beat it on the first try. I gave it a 3 star, because although it is quite disappionting, some parts are fun. I would recommend that you don't let kids under 10 play however, unless you want tham to be sceaming in frustration. That's what I did. This game is not one of the best ones that I've played.

The characters and backgrounds are detailed, terrific. Visually the game is almost stunning, but I didn't find it to be very challenging. It will keep you busy for a week and, if you are the type to go back through to perfect your scores and find all the rewards, maybe another week. I would buy it again, its a must for Potter fans, but perhaps a used one if available to save a few bucks. I can see myself playing again after a few months if only to enjoy the scenes.

Good, but can be better

The video game version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was a bit of a disappointment. It doesen't seem as magical as it was meant to be, and it lacks certain qualities that made the book and the movie so enjoyable.

The game doesn't really have a plot. It seems like while awful things are happening at Hogwarts, Harry is running around looking for books and other things. While the adult characters, such as Dumbledore, sound almost excactly like they do in the movie, Harry's and Ron's voices sound as if they were done by girls, and Hermione, instead of having Emma Watson's sweet, angelic voice, sounds as if she is getting over a horrible cold. The game has richly detailed graphics, but is very dark. I had to adjust the brightness on my TV at certain points.

However, there are parts of this game that I really liked. When you have completed all of your tasks for the day, you can freely explore the castle and discover secret areas. There are many spells to learn and cast. It is fun to cast the Flipendo Knockback Jinx on different characters and see and hear how they react. And you can lead Gryffindor to win both the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup.

I think that any Harry Potter fan should have this game, but I would read the book or watch the movie first. This game is just average.

Really entetaining!!!!

What I like most about this game is that you can explore Hogwarts alot wich is fun.But the game is really short and really easy.The PC versoin is much better!My fave part of all the HP games is usually quiditch,and here yoi can't fly around freely!WTF!That takes all the fun out of it!
