DON'T BUY THIS GAME

I had been looking forward to this game for a long time. I just bought it and cannot find words to express my disapointment. This game had a ton of potential, but it was not realized. The thing about quidditch that was to have set it apart from soccer, basketball, and hockey is that it is 3D. Unfortunately this game is not 3D. You only control backwards/forwards and left/right motion. You do not control the vertical aspect of flight. In other words, you are for all intents and purposes on the ground. If you want to play quidditch then do yourself a favor and just play the quidditch portions of the previous harry potter games. At least then there will be something to do besides playing a watered down versions of hockey. WHY ISN'T THIS GAME 3D?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

What a game!

This game is so very fun. When I got this game, I couldn't stop playing it. The only way I got off was when my mom made me.
Here are the Pros:
1. The graphics are TIGHT!
2. You can play for Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw too.
3. I love the special moves.
4. The international stadiums are amazing.
5. You get to play as chasers and beaters too.
Here are the cons:
1. YOU CAN'T PLAY AS IRELAND.
2. GAMEPLAY IS TOO EASY.
Other than that, the game is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't very enthusiastic about this game, but when I got it for my birthday, I thought "What the heck, I'll play." It was a wee bit more than I reckoned for. In previous Harry Potter quidditch matches, you can only play as the seeker and it take a very long time doing nothing for anything to happen. Not here. You can play as chasers, beaters (Sort of) and seekers. The teams are fun, but Hogwarts is a bit easy and World Cup can get dull after the tenth match. This game could be better. For instance, you could control your keeper when the chasers are coming, since 99% of the time the keeper doesn't get there in time. You could also play as a beater and hit the bludgers continously, instead of this weird throwing stuff. The crowds look rather 2D and the environments (Especially US & England) get REALLY dull after a while. It would be cool if you could customize your pitches, plays and teams and have the teams have names (In quidditch through the ages, it talks about all kinds of teams. The Moosejaw meteors, the Montrose magpies, the Chuldy cannons, where are they?). Oh yes, I forgot something. This game ROCKS! It's extremly addicting, the controls aren't impossible to manage and the commentary is rather funny. The music isn't John Williams, but it's decent enough and the challenges are fun. A very good game, but can get dull after about the five-hundreth round.

It's All About the Quidditch

This game could have a lot of potential, I know very little about it but I do know that it will be a sports game all about quidditch, you can play at Hogwarts on one of the house teams but you can also play in the Quidditch world cup. Also, you can play any position on the team. In earlier Harry Potter games, the quiditch was not very fun, you could only be seeker and you would just fly through hoops until you got the oppurtunity to catch the snitch. I hope that EA will not turn this idea that has huge potential into a big hunk of poo.

It could be better but...

This game is much fun to play. I like how they:

*let you choose what team you want to be on
*the settings for it vary which is nice also
*it is somewhat challenging when you first start to play it

BUT...THERE IS ONE BAD THING (I am sorry to admit). The game goes on forever and ever. I played until my team scored 999 points and I kept scoring but not getting any higher than that. You have to be in equal opposition to win the game and since I was getting all the points, it wasn't ending. In the end, you just kind of give up on it. This game IS GOOD, but it could be better.

An out of control game

This game is really fun and has good 3-D appearances, but sometimes when you are flying it sort of goes out of control. For example, you're flying up the field and you're aiming for the goal hoop opposite the keeper and you're about to shoot the quaffle through the hoop when you're player suddenly passes the quaffle towards the other team and the other team catches it without you controlling the pass. It just does it by itself. It can make you lose a game easily and instantly.

After Deathly Hallows, I was HP-drunk, and when I saw this, there was no way I wouldn't buy it.

Overall, it was alright. For a first attempt, it wasn't bad, but there are definately improvements that could be made.

First of all, control is limited. While you control left and right, and have some control over your speed, you don't really control the third dimension. (Up and down)

Also, once you get the hang of it, gameplay is very easy. Too easy. We're talking I squished my opponent ten out of ten times. It's actually funner playing head to head against a friend, though scoring is sparse in those games.

If I could go back, would I buy it again? Sure. There are good aspects to the game, and if your a Harry Potter fan, you'll probably going to like it, and get at least a couple days of good entertainment out of Quidditch World Cup.

I really want EA to try again...

Damn good game

Ok first im a official reviewer for a belgium games magazine so i know what im talking about.
The game itself is very good i dont know what that one star reviewer was talking about unless he bought the game for GBA.
This game covers all the aspects of Quidditch. The gameplay is easy once you get the hang of it. The graphical is fine and in full 3-D (exept the backgrounds but you won't focus yourself on that, trust me.) Sound is also very good it gives you the impression you are eally flying a broom. Financial this game is rather cheap for its qualyity. Oh, and for some people The +5 is just the ESRB rating wich indicates, in this matter, that the game is suited for kids. overal i give this game 5 start and my magazine 10/10.

Hope this was helpfull.

This game is kinda fun; in multiplayer. But the inadjustable AI level makes it to EASY. In perspective just unlock everything and then just play multiplayer.

BOTTOM LINE
Only buy this if you have relatives willing to play.

this game just sucks the worst game ever get another game

you cant control elevation and it is unrealistic the graphics are the only good part and more options are okay but it could have been way better.I like harry potter and the other harry potter games but this 1 just really sucks so use your 30 dollars on something else such as need for speed underground
