As good as any EA sports game

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).

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.

the best game ever

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!

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!

A Great Game!

First of all, this game is great (as the title of my reveiw implys) for both fans of the Harry Potter book/movie/video game series and sports fans alike. Good things first--

... this is an abselutely great game with 14 beautiful environments. These places are the national Quidditch Stadiums (which include, but are not limited to, France, Germany, Bulgaria, England, the USA, Japan and Australia) the Hogwarts stadium, and Queerditch Marsh (the birthplace of Quidditch, for those of you didn't know).

The plot of the game is suprisingly clever for a sports simulation-game; you start off at Hogwarts as one of the four Hogwarts Houses where you promptly learn how to play under the guise of "Quidditch Training." (By the way, do not be put of by the first chaser's challenge, it is one of the hardest in my opinion and I have abselutely no idea why EA Games chose to put it first). After you complete your training (but don't feel put off if you don't pass all of them, you'll do fine in a game as long as you have a basic understading of the different positions and how to play them) you can go on to playing games against the other houses, and I don't men those "only Seeker" games like in the other Harry Potter games, in this you play as all the players, with the exeption of the Keeper. If you winn at least one game against every house and/or manage to keep your point total up you could win the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup and, in addition, tickets to all of the games in the World Cup where you promptly go on to choose a team to support (play as) all through the World Cup.

Let me tell you, the graphics are incredible! The charecters, the Stadiums (Queerditch in particular.) I just can't put their greatness into words!

It is amazing how "right" the game has it. Even the names of the Hogwarts Quidditch players are correct, as are the rules of Quidditch and the way it is played.

All right now the Cons--

1. You can't play as Ireland and they won the Cup in Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire!

2. There is no way to change the difficulty, and after a while I started to want a harder game.

3. I thought that it would be kind of cool to see the evolution of Quidditch, from Chasers only on up. Needless to say, the game does not include this.

But dispite the cons, this game is pure fun in a pretty package, with it biased and hillariuos comentating, great gameplay and amazing graphics.

See you next time!

P.S I forgot to mention, I do not recomend this game for children under 8 or 9 years old for the games can be confusing and needlessle frusterating for these young and blooming gamers.

Lot's of fun

QWC is the only Harry Potter game that you don't have to worry about the story. It is only Quidditch. I think that World Cup is frusterating,but Hogwarts is extremly fun. Some of the special moves are really creative. There is a lot of stuff that you have to work hard to get. However, the quidditch cards can be annoying.

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.

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.
