NO! who'd want to play a really boring game? Not me. I suggest that you don't buy this game.

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.

buy other harry potter games

This installment of the harry potter games is nothing short of completely bizzare. I have no idea how anybody could like it, although it is a perfect game for 2-3 year olds.

It gave me a reason to buy a PS2

The day JK Rowling invented Quidditch for the books, this game was begging to be created. I'm absolutly getting it. I was ready to give up video games when I found out they were making a Quidditch game. This is the game I've been waiting for. Yes, I'm a Harry Potter nut, so the opportunity to play Quidditch was one I could not pass up. And unlike the other Harry Potter games, this one takes you beyond Hogwarts and into the Wizard world with it's favorite sport. I knew it was time to invest in a good system for the game, so I'm finally getting a PS2. I mean how can anyone, especially a Harry Potter fan, pass up the opportunity to play this awesome sport?

Not the best game out there....

This is a fun game but it certanly has magor problems. I like the quidditch better than any other game but truly it is just not fun. This game is one only fans should buy for the notoriety.

Came for the Potter, left for anything else!

This game is based on the sport Quidditch from the Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling. The game overall is fairly poor. The few positive aspects are overshadowed by the garbage.

Gameplay- The game features four difficulty levels, Comet 260, Nimbus 2000, Nimbus 2001, and the Firebolt, all brooms from the books. Unless the setting is on Firebolt, the game is useless. You can play as any Hogwarts or international team each with its own special move. After completing listed tasks, the player will receive Quidditch cards which are similar to Chocolate Frog cards from the series. The controls are simple to master but you could sit on the controller and receive the same results unless,like I said, you are on Firebolt in which case you will have to concentrate hard on not losing horribly. The glamor of playing with your favorite team starts to fade as you realize you can make more scores then Brittany Spears at the Strip Club with any team. Redundancy is unavoidable.

Multiplayer-The multiplayer element is one of the few high points of this game. Playing against a friend makes it from an easy win to a challenging battle. Of course to unlock teams and fields you must play through ares of single player so it really isn't worth the trouble.

Graphics-The graphics in this game is another high point. The fields are beautiful and are the only thing that really changes from match to match. The characterslook just as fine in cut scenes (although Harry looks and talks like a five year old).

Series Relation- The actually time of these matches is around the third book judging by the players on the Hogwarts teams. The game is littered with characters from the books like Harry, Draco, Cho Chang, Cedric Diggory, and Victor Krum and features Lee Jordan and Ludo Bagman for the Hogwarts and International games perspectively. The actual games however, are far from what you might expect as explained in the books. You mainly play as a Chaser,the Beaters are computers who protect the Chaser from Bludgers when attacked by the other team. The Seeker is only used after a certain amount of moves have been accomplished and the Keeper is a computer who seems to always be farther from the Quarfel as any other player.

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.

please know what your talking about

i saw a review say "this game sucks" 12 times in all caps, I just wish I knew why this game sucked so much,especially since he later wrote it is a bad game even for "tue" (i believe he ment true) harry potter fan, try reading the books, just don't stop on the first two pages. I'm one and 12 have more common sense then this guy. Not quite sure what to rate game, it made me rate so I put in the middle.

Dude, this game be el-crapo. I would rather play donkey kong a billion times then look at the cover of this game. First of all in Harry Potter #4 in the 6th chapter you will note that harry has changed his uniform from a brown to a royal blue. That just infuriates me that they didn't change it in the game too!!!! The game was sweet but I couldn't get past the color palette. My favorite part was being able to pull out your wand and try a combination of buttons to vex a player of the opposite team. Sometimes you get caught pulling out your wand so watch how much you do it. I feel that you should still by this game because of all the extras.

A worthy effort

If you're a fan of the books and movies, you'll probably like Quidditch World Cup. The gameplay is fairly challenging, the visuals are stunning, and some of the special moves are pretty spectacular. However, the game is not without flaws. It's wayyyy too easy at the lower levels, especially at the Hogwarts games. It's all too easy to score goals, and it can be annoyingly easy to control the results of the match. I've deliberately set games up to result in draws, and after an hour or so it was easy to win at Hogwarts by at least 500 points. Also, Quidditch was designed to be played in three dimensions. It wouldn't have been too hard to build a game to handle it; we've been making flight simulators for years. Oh well. It's still an enjoyable game, for all its flaws, and worth ten bucks. Maybe we can look forward to QWC2 sometime soon.
