Editorial Reviews :
Even though they were clearly aimed at children, the first Harry Potter games nevertheless managed to be quite good--an extraordinary feat considering that film-license games are usually awful. For this second crack at the gaming wand Harry moves to next-generation consoles too, and, from the two-level demo we played, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is looking even better than 2001's efforts.
Looking and playing similarly to Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda, the first level has you zapping gnomes with a stun spell and ejecting them from the garden they're roaming around in. Although simple in gameplay terms, this first little section allows you to get used to the pleasingly intuitive and flexible controls. A subsequent level is based on more traditional action set pieces, with you as Harry jumping about on platforms, avoiding elves, and using a magic spell to chop down ropes. It’s a real surprise to see a game this high profile, which would easily have sold a million if it’d been a blank disc with the Harry Potter logo, being made with such care and imagination. In fact, so good does it look so far that the old lie about nonfans of the movie/book being able to enjoy it might actually be true.
Buyer Reviews :
When I first heard of this game in my magazine I couldnt wait to buy it. I bought this game the day it came out and now i cant wait for somebody to buy it off of me. This is definitally not the game i thought it would be I am very dissapionted. I suggest that whoever is reading this review will rent this game before buying it because while some will love this game, others will hate it. All you do is go around collecting wizard cards. You do pointless tasks to get pointless wizad cards. You go to one class a day then your day ends. You do one task a night and your night ends. This keeps repeating until you eventually just quit playing because it's so boring. If you dont want to end your day or night then you dont have to, you can explore but after you explore the first time and complete all the side tasks, there is no point in exploring anymore and you will most likely just end your days and nights as soon as you can. If you are a very big harry potter fan then you night like this just because of the storyline. If you are like me and read the books but are not crazy about them then this game is probably not for you. This game is also not the easiest at some points. I dont think this game is for younger kids because as soon as you get the expelliarmus spell, the game gets a little harder. You then have to time everything. Everytime a spell is casted at you, you have to use the explelliarmus spell to reverse it but you have to time it exactly right and it's not the easiest thing to do. So like I said before, DO NOT GO OUT AND SPEND 50 DOLLARS ON THIS GAME UNTIL YOU PLAY IT FIRST. Rent it to see if you like it first.
