Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

I think this game is the most awesome video game I own. And trust me, I own a lot! I think this game is fun because once you think you are done, you're not. I like the fact that you can never say "Hey! I'm done!" That's what makes a game 5 star quality to me. Besides, I've had this game for 1+ year, and I'm still not done with it! (Granted I don't play it every day.) Overall this is a very nice and well-written game.
The first thing you do is go to the Leaky Cauldron and meet Ron and his parents. I like when you go to Hogwarts and then you can explore all seven floors of Hogwarts!

it's okay depends on what you are looking for....

The graphics are much improved and the music is great. The story line is minimal with a lot of stuff left out. I finished the game the first time in about 7 or 8 hours and then it just ended. When I continued playing, I finished in about 3 hours and then as the party got stronger (leveled up), the game goes quicker and quicker. I was disappointed since the first two were more challenging and followed the story line. Fun to have and play, but once you're done, you're done.

A Really Fun Game

I really liked this game.The graphics are really good for gameboy. The actual adventure is also very fun.There were only two things i didnt like about it.one,it follows the story line a little bit but, not a lot.(I recommend you watch the movie or read the book)and two,you have to be angled just right to move things.but besides that the game is very fun.I like how you can be ron ,harry, and hermione. The battles are nice when you have to do them or want to do them for expereiance points, but if you dont need experiance points,then just flee if you can.The mini games are also very fun!

Better than the last

Okay I have to admit that it was better than the last one (Don't buy it. Chamber of Secrets is BORING and easy to beat once you get past Gringotts). I just want to say that they shouldn't make you try to beat Malfoy at lvl. 50 when on your first try you would most likely be at NO MORE THAN lvl. 45. Plus why would Malfoy be out when it is dark (oooh. 50 points from Slytherin).

I liked playing with Harry Ron and Hermione because I always get annoyed just playing with the same person. Ron's spell, Spongify, I thought really had no point to it though, because when you used it on an enemy then just did what happens to the platform, and you never need to use it again after the Hagrid scene. And why would Hagrid lend the books to the Malfoy trio? Shouldn't he just say 5 points from Slytherin, try to follow along (well I suppose Hagrid would never do that but so what!)?

Another thing that was a little annoying is trying to keep the characters at the same lvl. If any of you are like me and don't like having 1 character at a higher lvl than the others because if that character dies than you will never beat the obstacle, you will know what I mean.

The last complaint I have is that why did Buckbeak have to fight Lupin (as werewolf)? You had to keep Buckbeak alive AND yourself. Also, I didn't get why they wouldn't let Harry and Hermione really do any damage to him. Why didn't they stick to the storyline?

But, I still thought it was fun and I thought it deserved 4 stars. Buy this game instead of the last two because you will enjoy it more.

cool

Well, first I thought that this game would be the same as last year's chamber of secrets gba game but this game is way cooler. The story follows the book and movie pretty closely, and there are cool spells to use. Plus I like being able to play as Hermione (finally!). One of the funny things is that Hermione's special skill is when she gives 'lectures' during fights -it looks funny! Also she can repair things. Ron uses stink pellets, and Harry uses wizard cards to battle the creatures. The music is great, and the action is very fun. You should totally buy this game!

Its great! Execpt for its hardness. I had to beat Crabbe and Goyle it was hard. It took 5 times for me to beat them. We finished the game after 2 months. The giant rat was hard too. The Buckbeak rescue and Sirius and Dementor reuscue was hard too.The best part is the MINI-GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!They were fun expecially the pop one. The time when Harry and Ron find the Hippogriff book its south of the Library then turn right.I also liked Fred and George's Shop. Also when you find Mcgonagall Its hard.Snape's wasn't easy either you had to get a series of ingredients.And beat a river troll in the finding.It was HARD!!!!!!I had to beat it 10 times.It got very fustrating.Also the finding of Ron and the Shrieking Shack Was Hard!You had to beat a Forest troll on the way back from under the Whomping Willow.The Willow tree fight was hard too.Then the HARDEST of all was the encounter withe Lupin (in werewolf Shape).You had Buckbeak, Harry, Hermione. You NEED to GET FOLIO UNIVERSTITI cards FROM FRED AND GEORGE's SHOP!!!!!!!!Or you won't beat that werewolf. This GAME is GREAT!!!!!!I reccommend it.Last thing the minigames are (After you finish that level): Riding Buckbeak(at Hagrid's), Pop Wizard Crackers(Dumbledore's Wizard Crackers for Christmas), Boggart Spell(Lupin's Lesson), Patronus Spell(Harry's Lesson with Lupin).You need to fight The Monster Book of Monsters 4 times.One in the beginning ,two in the place where Malfoy hid Some books and 1 in Madam Pince's Library.Beware Skeletons come out of nowhere in the place that leads to the Shrieking Shack.Ther very tricky(Always say Lumos).
Before you rescue Ron you have to go into a place where the Waterfalls are.There is a switch hidden just find and press'a' or if that doesnot work try the up button then it will frezze Something then you keep trying to find switches until all of the small waterfall steps are frozen.I love this GAME!!!!!1!!!1!

Good Game, Good Pace, Very Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this game. The graphics are some of the best I have seen for Game Boy. The bonus activites/mini-games are also amusing, if slightly repetitive. I like the fact that the game offers the chance to grow as a character, both with items and spells and level-ups. The game goes pretty quickly, but mostly because it is difficult to put down. Congrats to EA games for another great addition to my Game Boy collection.

Good fun for kids.
