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.

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?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

the best game ever

You start off picking one of the four houses. You can easily switch from house to house though. Your goal is to complete practice challenges that will help you build skills to become a real tough competitor. I gained these skills and won the house cup with Ravenclaw and then with Hufflepuff.

After you win the cup, you can pick an International team to play against other countries. Most matches are about 30 minutes long, although I just played a two and a half hour match against England and won by over 1500 points. I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants a real challenge.

The key to doing well in this game, is to complete as many practice challenges as possible. Doing this will unlock more skills, games, special arenas, and better brooms.

This game introduces many popular characters from the books (Luto Bagman, Viktor Krumm, and several others found in "Quidditch Through the Ages" or the first 5 books).

Amazing!

This game is absoloutly amazing! - I'm a big Harry Potter fan, and when I first saw the game Qudditch was coming out and it was EA Games that was making it, I thought that nothing else could be compared to this!.

Well, in some point I was right and some wrong... - it's a little bit too easy... I have only unlocked the 2001 Broom (I don't know if it has anything to do if the computer plays better??)

It is really realistic! - Loads of the people you know from the books are in it and it's great fun, with the commentaries, blugders, special moves and more!...

Although, a match will take some time!

Fun for Potter Fans

Keep in mind I am a 26 yr. old avid gamer. So my review will be diffrent than others. But I am also a Harry Potter FAN!!! I have fun with the game.

Pros: If you like Potter and think Quidditch is the coolest idea in books, then stop reading and go buy the game now.
EA made the game, One of the top game designers, especially for sports. Music is fitting, VERY colorful and the look is captured well. It is fun (most important part of a game), I do enjoy playing. Graphics are above average, character models are ok and try to reproduce the actors (a nice touch!)

Cons: The game should be 3D and I should be able to control EVERY (up and down)direction. No Online play (come on this should be a staple now!) for 2 player you must share the keyboard (dumb), also, coming from EA, it should have had a build a character mode. Some type of customization. Like others before me said, the game had potential. Commentary is VERY repetitive. Cut scenes are nice but not needed. Need more options to control visuals, no High Definition Resolution. No adjust Difficulties!!! Too easy. Heard it gets harder but so far I win games like a 1,350 - 10 score. Menus could be WAY nicer, with mouse control and not using keys. Maybe these will be fixed in updates or a sequel! I hope! Due to the easy AI, that can hinder replay value :-(

It is targeted for the younger audience but most fans of Potter I know of are in the 20-35 range.

Have Fun!!

The Best HARRY POTTER EA GAME

This is a really great game! It is way more exciting than the Chamber of Secrets and Sorcerer's Stone games. It's really fun and easy to control. The best part is that you can play on teams of different countries. Also you get to see characters from the fourth book like Ludo Bagman and Viktor Krumm. Its also fun that you can play all the posistions and can use different broomsticks metioned in the books. You can explore the sport better through tricks and special moves. Also its fun to collect the Quidditch cards! This game is really good and I would reccomend buying it definitely!
Hope ma review was helpful!

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.

WONDERFUL

Controls: AMAZING
Color: PERFECT
True to the book: Yup
Idea: EXCELLENT
EA games has created the sport of Quidditch into na amazing 3-D computer adventure. You can now play as any Hogwarts house (something you couldn't do in the other games). I for one always have wanted to control Draco Malfoy as a seeker in a computer game and now I can. Also, you can play in an internation team. The Hogwarts field represents the one in the movie wonderfully and the internation fields are EXTREMELY creative and well done. They were a HUGE surprise. The images are excellent. This is the best Harry Potter PC game that they ahve yet come up with and my favorite. I LOVE playing it and if oyu ahven't tried it out yet click the yellow ADD TO SHOPPING CART button (If you're a kid tell your parents to click the yellow ADD TO SHOPING CART button.)

This is so much fun

The game just came today and I am having a ball playing it. It is so much fun. You get to play in all the quidditch positions and the graphics are just excellent. It's almost like really being on a broom stick.
