An inventive and action packed game.
It’s the only version of the game featured in the disc 2 of the film, and it’s graphics would be reused for the ps2/gamecube/Xbox/pc versions of quidditch World Cup and the 2003 remake of the sorcerer’s stone. The controls were indeed smoother here than the gamecube/Xbox versions and the 2003 remake of the sorcerer’s stone. Harry’s voice was quite fitting and it kinda matched what he’d sound like in the books, as the same voice was used in the trailer of the first game, as well as having a few voice clips recycled in the 2003 game. Unfortunately, Harry doesn’t have his invisibility cloak here, so the stealth sequences are pretty often and complicated, so I’d save to avoid loosing house points before doing them at Hogwarts. And most of the canon events from the book and film are either altered, omitted or pretty much left to other versions and Dobby is mentioned to be in the box, but he doesn’t appear in the game, and Ron’s wand doesn’t break here, so Lockhart doesn’t go with them to the chamber of secrets either, nor does his wand backfire during the mud blood event, but Harry’s wand does backfire instead when a spell is overpowered, but interestingly his wand warns him of his surroundings, if the wand glows green, everything’s alright, if it glows red, something is wrong and his movements will allow him to sneak. And during the basilisk fight, unlike the canon, the sword releases a magic beam, which has to be directed right under the basilisk neck or throat. I’ve always loved this hp game as it’s beautiful due to it’s animation and pretty action packed, even though many canon events aren’t in it, making the book a little shorter too. I also like how we saw the ad to ty the Tasmanian tiger behind the manual, the same treatment was also made to the GameCube and Xbox versions of the game, and ty also had the ads to this game in all it’s versions too.Read full review
