Totally boring

This game has great graphics, I admit, but it gets boring really quickly. It's too easy for words, and you just have to keep scoring goals, over and over again until it's time for you to catch the Snitch. They could've done better.

best potter game yet

The first time I played this game was at my freinds house and i couldnt stop playing it! I mean this game has everything i would expect a quidditch game to have.
Like in the other harry potter games the only thing you can do is control hary and thats all! But in this game you have complet contol over every one! You can hit a bludger at some one, you can score with the quafful.
The specil moves in this game are great you cant even hit people off there brooms for a short period of time.
and the varity of the teams in this game is great you can be US or england.
To make a long story short if your a potter fan or even just a vidio game fan this game is a must own!

Smashing, blows all others away!!!

The graphics are amazing. If you don't have "Quidditch Through The Ages" its a little confusing. The game is cool. If I had a 6th star I'd give it. Its like your realy on a broom!!!

Great Game

This is an absolute must if you're a Quidditch fan or Harry Potter fan. It is hard and easy but not so hard that you can never win. It is possible :P. You can play as all of the certain players in each team. You play chaser, beater, seeker and keeper. It is absolute fun. I had a lot of fun playing at my friend's house.

This is a wonderful game for all Harry fans. You get put right inside the game and it feels like you're at Hogwarts! I would recommend this to everyone! Although, it seems fairaly easy to win the games but is still a good expeirence.

This game is only good for Harry Potter fans. I bought it a while ago, and have found it extremely playable and fun. The multiplayer action is also good. The only downside is that it is hard to collect quidditch cards after you have collected the first twenty or so, the matches themselves are quite long, even with combos, and its very topical. You also need to know the rules of quidditch, or learn them, to play this game. However, for hard-core Harry potter fans, this game is a must. It is easy to control and a simple enough game to play.

Fun for all

I just purchased this game and I have to admit that I am already addicted to it. It's pretty easy when you first play the game, but it gets tougher to beat the opponents later in the game. It is easy to control, the graphics are great, basically it is a whole lot of fun.

.... quidditch. I mean we have seen it in the movies and read about this " sports" in the books but it really is as I imagined the game to be. I like the fact that you can play for the Hogwarts House Cup and that you can play the world cup.

To unlock certain levels and teams you have to obtain wizards cards by playing this game. The levels are from super easy to medium < others might find it hard > . My tip is to get as much training at school as possible before starting the World cup giving you a head start when it comes to the controls.

The controls in the beginning can be a bit confusing but it will get easier the more practice you get. There is plenty of teams to try out in the World Cup that way one really doesn't get bored playing this game.

Before going to the world cup check out the inventory to see what cards you need. One has to do certain things to obtain some of the cards. For example only shoot thru the left goal hoop or win a game by only catching the snitch and so on. Once you have all cards for a team you can perform special team moves earning you lots of points kicking back the other teams seeker.

In the Hogwarts Housecup challenge there is plenty of "best- times" to beat for each team. And yes you can play with all 4 teams. My favorite is Ravenclaw as for the fact that they have a good seeker.

Playing in the Worldcup mode you get to see many different stadiums < I like the Australian one > and the commentaries if you even have time to listen to them are fun to listen to. So get going unlock cards and lots of teams and brooms and get playing.

Perfect for Fans, not bad for anyone else

This plays a bit like a soccer game, with great special and magical moves. Except that your flying!

Overall - A good game, but solo replayability isn't as good as it could be. On the plus side, there are lots of things to unlock in this mode. My real problem is with Quiddich itself - it really doesn't matter what you do, catching the snich wins all. This game tries to remedy this by linking you snitch boost to game performance, but from a game play perspective this should have been pushed even more.

Replayability - Average. Beating the computer 400 to zero gets dull after awhile, but two player mode is very intense and more like a soccer match (lots of action, ocassional scoring)

Graphics - Very good. Everything moves and feels smooth, it looks very good, and although the "nice shot" movies get stale, you can skip them quickly.

Game Play - As stated above, the only downside is the "snitch wins all" sudden death feel to every game. BUT, passing the quaffle, which is most of the game, is well done and 2 player mode will ware your finder prints off.
