When most older people hear the words "HARRY POTTER" they think of children. That's also what I thought to when i first heard of it. The whole story had the word kid written all over it. But then I sat down and read it, and now to me it has a whole new meaning. Now, being a fan, when I heard there was a game coming to gamecube I was so excited, but still I had played a Harry Potter game the year before on playstation and it wasn't that great. Well, I read a preview for it in a magizine and my thoughts changed yet again. The creators added a new spice to it that makes it look absolutely amazing! The pictures and graphics were slick, and the storyline, following the book's, was great. I can't wait till this game comes out in time for the movie. I would say you are nuts if you are not interseted in this game!

If it has the name Harry Potter than its perfect.

This game, like Harry, has alot of potential. The gamecube allows the picture and graphics to be an awfull lot better than its predecessor. If it sticks as well to the book as the new movie will it shall be an instant hit. The fact it will come out on nearly all consoles is good for publicity. Should be great for Harry potter fans and non-fans alike.

Harrys Back!

This is one of those games that you'll play over and over again! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the graphics on this game. You play as Harry Potter which is nothing you don't all ready know. Playing this game is like being a student at Hogwarts. You can sneek out of bed at night and fly around the enormous Hogwarts campus if you'd like!This game also features a full season of quiditch!Whatch out for those Blodgers! EA games has really done it this time.J.K Rowling worked close hand with the makers of the game to make sure the game was a close to perfect match to the book.This game really dose follow the book so have fun and don't get petrified.This is by far one of the greatest games I have seen in years! I would reckomend trying this game!

A wild ride through Harry's world!

I previewed this game recently and I am astonished at the quality of the graphics! I reviewed the game on three different platforms (PS2, Gamecube and XBox) and the graphics engine is exceptionally good. Gameplay is challenging, and although younger kids will no doubt have some problems with many of the button sequences, I think any child five or older will get something out of this game. There is no question this will be the hit of the holiday season so order now!

The colors are lush and appropriate to each scene, the graphics magnificent, the music so dead-on, and the effects and gameplay fantastic. The only downside is the long loading times and the sometimes difficult camera angles, although both can be forgiven since the amount of graphic detail could well account for the former and camera angles have always been a bit of a bugger in 3D games. Great use of the contoller vibrator as the Whomping Willow slams it's roots about.
I bought my Playstation 2 on the strength of this game and GTA: Vice City and I have not been disappointed. As much as I love the guilty pleasures of the violent 'Vice', I love ending my day with 'Chambers'. It's like an interactive novel. I am amazed at the amount of gameplay so far and I haven't even gotten into Hogwarts yet.
I love this game and I think anybody who has just a passing knowledge of the Potter world will feel the same. Well worth [it].

Graphics: 10/10
They are absolutely amazing. My dad came into my room when I was playing, and he asked if it was a movie! He could not believe it was a game, I had to CONVINCE him by moving Harry around in circles! Best graphics I have ever seen on any system, they are simply breathtaking and truly bring the game to life.

Sound: 10/10
Sound quality is amazing, the voices are VERY real and the background music is excellent, not annoying at all.

Control: 10//10
Control is perfect, you can customize the spell buttons to any place you want, wich is great. Harry is very easy to move around, with three different speeds (Sneak, Walk and Run) at a diff positions on the control stick. When shooting spells at objects they are very very easy to hit right on target, excellent aiming system!

Gameplay: 10/10 TONS upon tons of different levels, different places, all exciting and thrilling in they’re own way!

Fun Factor: 10/10 This game is an absolute blast! You will NEVER get tired of this game, right till the very end!

Story Line: 10/10 it follows the book very well. Some things are different, but they were only changed to be “playable” a lot of great original ideas where added into the game, creating MANY new special tasks for Harry to complete like SAVING Ron from the Whomping Willow!

Annoyance: 9/10 Having to “meet” the chars everywhere tends to get on ones nerves but it’s not too bad. Also sometimes the Camera angels can get a bit touchy, but with the yellow control stick, you can move them to the spot you want!

Memory Card: 10/10 only takes up 5 blocks on your card, AMAZING for the quality of graphics this game has!!

Overall: 10!!! This game is an asset and will be a star to any collection. Buy it now, you will NOT regret it!!!!!!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret: A Must Buy

You never know what to expect from a videogame based on a popular license. But, to me, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets hasn't fallen victim to any of the unfortunate failings that become so many of these types of games. It's, in fact, a very well done 3D adventure game filled with a fun quest, challenging puzzles and an intuitive control scheme and magic system. It reminds me a lot of Zelda, actually, which is a great thing. That's not to say it's perfect. Some of the puzzles lack the intensity of those in Zelda and there is a level of redundancy in some of the challenges, but for the most part it's all still something of an addiction.

I think that just about anybody will get his or her money's worth with this game. But for genuine Potter fans, this is an absolute must buy. The way in which developer Eurocom has brought Diagon Alley, Hogwarts, Quidditch and the cast of the Potter books to life in videogame form is brilliant. There is so much to see and do in the Harry Potter universe here that the game is practically a virtual library of Potter related locations, items, and characters. And the topper is that the Chamber of Secrets storyline is presented with equal flair and detail.
