I've played plenty of video games over the last decade and if you asked me to give you an honest appraisal of Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone compared to other current Gamecube games, the game probably wouldn't rank that high. But... you're talking to a hardcore Harry Potter fan who read each book at least three times and viewed each movie just as often. In other words, you're talking to a Potter fanatic so it's difficult to give an honest opinion of this game. Truthfully, it's probably an average title with gameplay similar to an easier Tomb Raider, only Hogwarts castle replaces Lara Croft's latest ancient ruin. In the Sorcerer's Stone, you control Harry Potter as he explores Hogwarts in a linear story that allows him to meet all his professors, train in all popular spells from the books and movies, practice plenty of broomstick acrobatics and quidditch heroics, and still follow the course of the original story. It sounds like some of the actors in the movies voice their video game characters, but not many, and all famous Potter characters look like their movie versions although the game does draw a little bit of story and scenery from the books as the movie probably didn't provide enough content. Popular movie franchises such as Star Wars and Star Trek have seen plenty of poor gaming spin-offs so I'm sure Harry Potter will see it's fair share of subpar games. Hopefully, one day we'll get a super Harry Potter game, but this will have to do for all Potter fans until the next book or movie.

This game is sooooooooooooooo awsome! This game turns Harry's world colerfull and exciting. So many different challenges it will keep you buisy for a very long time. This game is perfect for any Harry Potter fan out there. If you are a fan put it in your collection. Most of the words are the same from the book and the movie in almost the same places too. This is a must have game!

this game is really fun if you lovew hary potter. I love it becuase there is more to explore and more to do and you can do the tasks again and keep trying until you get it all right. I love it and its a great game is is defintely worth the price. I haven't beaten it yet but i know i have spent quite a bit of time on it i really love it. Only get it if you are a harry potter fan.

A step up from Chamber of Secrets

I liked this game better than Chamber of Secrets, which, by the way, was made before Sorcerer's Stone. They seem like they're very similar at first glance, but once you actually sit down and play them, you'll notice big differences.

In the beginning of Chamber of Secrets, you feel a little lost. But in the beginning of this game, you are introduced to Harry, know who he is, know what is in store for him, and what have you. The game has better lighting effects than Chamber of Secrets, which was very dark. There are new spells to learn and cast. When you went outside the castle in Chamber of Secrets, you could only explore certain areas unless you were on the broomstick, but in this game, you can walk around pretty much the whole Hogwarts campus.

However, this game still lacks certain qualities that made the book and movie a success. The game doesn't seem as magical as it was meant to be. Harry's and Ron's voices still sound like girls. The Spell Challenges are a little frustrating. And the ending scene felt a little incomplete.

Overall, I am very pleased with this game. This game was better than Chamber of Secrets, but I still think that they could do better than this.

This game is pretty fun. It's kinda difficult in places so I wouldn't buy it for a young kid.

This game is awsome im telling u it is amazing. i didnt think that they would make part 1 because they just skipped to 2.this game starts by harry in diagon alley im not sure but alot of people told me or at hogwarts but im 99% sure that u will start in diagon alley. your going to play quidditch, master spells,and best of all in the end u have to get past fluffy, get rid of the devil snare, get the key, cross the chessboard, drink the potion, and kill professer quirrel and much more. i should tell u that if u like adventure and action games than ur gonna love it if not u'll still love it but the best thing in it is that u get to DUEL!!!!!!!!!!but u i think u wont duel alot but im not so sure. i'm going to upgrade everymonth so be sure u come back!
