Summary: EXCELLENT GAME!!!!!!!!
Review: Have you seen the movie and read the book? Then you need to get this game! It's so fun! And if you liked the first one, you'll love this one! This game is much improved! The graphics are better (Their mouths move this time), and the fun level has gone up tons for me! Here are the good/bad things about the game.

Good:
Graphics. Mouths move to the exact words they're saying.
Gameplay. You can do a lot more things in this one: including kicking other people in Quidditch (Always wanted to pound on my opponent in the first one).
Sound. Harry talks more than he did and I loved the sound effects.
Spells. The best spell in here is "Spongify". It gives you the abitlity to turn rugs into a trampoline-like thing temporarily.
Pretty much everything was really good, and I don't have time to list everything.

Bad:
The only thing bad was the
Music. I have a little 6-year-old brother, and the music scared the heeber-jeebers you of him. It scares me, too. What plays is an out-of-tune violin that really scares me and gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. It scares everyone. So turn down the sound when you hear it. Trust me, you'll know when it's on.

I'll rate everything now:
Graphics: 10/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Sounds: 9/10
Spells: 9/10
Music: 6/10 (Music scary however brilliant scary music)

Tips on game:
On Quidditch, kick your opponent rapaidly before he kicks you. He can't get you when you're kicking him. And they have health that takes a minute to load up.

End snake: go up close to the snake and get him with your sword. When he dives to bite you, jump away and get him in the throat.

For wizard cards, check every spot, staircases, everywhere. And the reward for getting all the wizard cards is different. You get a new level. And the new level is dang fun. Plus you get a wizard card, a GOLD one. And its _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. Ohh.. what could it be...thus the NAME of the game...

Hope you like it...oh, you will...everyone does! Get it! Order it! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: [insert clever title here]
Review: This game is a fantastic display of today's technology. All though not completely 3-D, it has stunning graphics, wondeful sound, and incredible animations. The creatures (Aragog, miscellaneous spiders, Basilisk, etc.) truly are scary--enough to make you scream when you aren't expecting one to attack you when you turn a corner! Trust me on this one; buy this game and you won't be dissapointed!

Summary: Fun for the Potter Fan
Review: I have a lot of fun being in an interactive Harry Potter world. This game is different from the first in many great ways. First, the castle is mostly open all the time. You can explore at any time between classes, and there is a map so it's easy to find your way around. Most of the classrooms and other areas can be entered when class is not in session including the hospital wing and great hall. The dueling is an interesting addition that allows you to get lots of beans fast, but it's a little boring and there isn't much strategy involved. I also like the fact that you can make potions that give Harry one additional lightning bolt of stamina when he drinks them. The potions each require two ingredients that can be collected throughout the game and made into potions in special cauldrons. In this game, when you collect 10 bronze wizard cards, Harry gets all his stamina back plus another lightning bolt. That is very helpful especially at the end of the game.

The story of this game is structured very closely to the movie (and in extension to the book). There are a lot of cut scenes that explain the story. These scenes are slow to load on my computer as is every part of the game (but it usually plays fine once loaded). The cut scenes can be skipped, but then you'll probably miss the point of what Harry is trying to do. Some neat touches of the storyline include that for part of the game you play as Goyle or more precisely as Harry after taking the polyjuice potion including a bit of Goyle. Also, Harry gets to explore Dumbledore's office and talk to the sorting hat. After each class there is a house point ceremony and the house with the most points gets to go to the bonus bean room where you just run around and collect as many beans as you can in the time allowed, which depends on how many more house points you have than the house with the next highest amount of points. I can't wait to play the third one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool adaptation of movie and book
Review: At first I was a bit reluctant to try this game (a friend of mine told me that in the last game, Harry often makes noises like he's constipated, and he does here too), but I really liked it when I recieved it as a Christmas gift. Pros: It takes the best parts of the book and movie for its storyline, it is challenging without being frustrating (I, the queen of impatience, have made it to the Chamber of Secrets without buying a hint book), the graphics are really good, and there are many fun subplots (like dueling and playing Quidditch-with Quidditch, remember that the up arrow doesn't make you go faster!!). Cons: Annoying frequency of the "loading game" screen, not being able to save your game at any time (as well as being able to have only six saved games at any time), and the fact that nothing from the DVD preview (some of which is also shown during installation) happens, like de-gnoming the Weasleys' garden (which I would have loved to doo!).
On the whole, this is really worth buying.

Summary: Great game for kids 7 and up!!!
Review: This game is great! First of all I think this game should be given to kids 7 and up, thay never use the term "Kill" (But the end does but thay don't have blood or any thing that is like "Kill") insted thay use the word "Stun" or even just fall over! There jokes are clean and thay talk clean, there is one thing that might not be so clean, it's when you use Flipendo on the trolit to make goods or bads come out, but that isn't to bad and the kids love it! There is no blood or any of the like.

There are a lot of improvments, one is that the mouths move, and a nother is that it is more 3D, and a nother is that once you complete the game you can exlore Hogworts!

The dueling is really fun, you can use 3 fantastic spells in dueling, "Rictisempra" wich will make the other dueler go back and will take away some of the other duelers Stalima (Stalima is Wizard or Wich energy), "Mimble Wimble" wich will make the other dueler talk nonsens so the other dueler can't cast his/her spell, and "Expelliarmes" wich will reflect back the other duelers spell at him/her, all three spells are used by the other dueler.

Quiditch has improved in some places and disoproved in others,
Improvments in Quiditch:
The other teem can catch the Snitch,
The Balls moves more rondomlly but will also do there goal (For example the Blugers will try and hit the players).

Dissoprovements in Quiditch,

You atomanicly kinda folow the Snitch, makeing it more of a hit the other player and doge the obstacles, also you can't move out of it so it's like your in a lttle invisible tunnle.

There is a new trading program were you can trade beans for other things like Wizard Cards, Potion Ingredients, and other things.

You keep the spells you lean in the first game and there are new spells in this one like Defendo and Rictisempra.

The Womping Willow si to help you understand the controls and when you come from the Womping Wilow to The Griffendor Commen room Ron teaches you some of the basics like were the Griffendor Commen room is and what your first year spells do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Game and kid safe!
Review: First I will cover the age rateing, I think this is good for kids 8 (or if you have a nice 7 year old yes) and up, thay don't use the term "Kill" (But thay do use it when Rittle says "KILL THE BOY KILL HIM NOW!" but that is all the way at the end were there are so many chalenges that your kid will need to have a good age to figer out!) when it comes to those creater parts (Like the Pixies) thay use the word "Stunn" now all of that is done lets get to the game!

Here are some improvements from the first game:

1: Every one's mouths move when thay talk, even Peevs!
2: The Graffics are much better and the fire and smoke are no longer bits of circles flying around, Walls stick out and patterns are not flat drawings, some rugs you find are winklled to!
3: There is a map, this is not a cheat because it doesn't have details like were poeple are, so it's not cheating, to get to the map go to the main screen (Were all the House Points and Wizard Cards etc etc etc are) and click the map veiw or press tab.
4: More things to colect like Fluberworm Mucues, Wicken Tree Bark, and a new Broomstaick (The Nimbus 2001)!
5: Every thing is just more 3D!
6: The Sound Efects are better.
7: Some cheats like "Harry Super Jump" have been taken out I think, most of these cheats give you a lower score and/or screw up the game or even crash the game!
8: There are more path ways or you might call them branches, what I mean is that the game isn't as strait ahead as the first, so you won't get so bored of the same game every time you play it agan.
9: even when you get to the end of the game you can explore Hogrworts!
10: Parts of Hogworts are always open (But those parts like the forbuden forist and the chamber of secrets are closed onece you complete them) like the dungens and the grounds, in the first game if you are not at that part of the game it's closed (Like the dungen and grounds) and when you complete it you can't come bach to it, much the cause of improvement 8.

There are propley more improvements, I just told you the most loved ones.

The jokes are really funny like when Herminie says "C'mon Harry, we don't want to be late for Locarts class!" then Harry says "What do you meen 'we'?" and Dobbys voice is just sooooooo funny!

The new spells are really cool! My faverit new spell is "Spongyfi!!!"!

You can put the game slots in my docomets (Save the little mini picter of what part of the game that player is at) and even use it as a desktp wallpaper!

There is a really cool new trading system were you can trade beans for other things, Fred and Gorge have a ;ot of cool stuff a say you chek them out!

You can always go back to dueling and earn beans!

There is one bug that I don't like, some of the beans Harry just walks through WITHOUT culecting them and some of those beans are HUGE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even better than the first!
Review: A must-have for all fans of Harry Potter. I thought this game was excellent, and though I loved the first game, this one was ten times better! Not only were the graphics dazzling, but the mouths actually move and the characters are much more expressive! And about the gameplay: marvelous. I went through the first game within a week, but this one requires real reasoning power to figure out. It's not too easy, and not too hard. Excellent game. Why are you still reading this? Go buy it now! I guarantee it'll be totally worth it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Review: I am a hard core RPG gamer, but I like to play puzzle solving games in between. I found this game to be fun, challenging and entertaining. I've played it twice so far and will play it again. The spellcasting is easy, as you don't have to memorize spells, just point and click. The Quidditch and dueling matches are challenging. Each time you play, you can try to beat your personal best and there is enough variety built into the play to keep you interested, no matter how many times you play.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice game...
Review: I'm not a gigantic Harry Potter maniac ...but I must say the game is good. The 3d graphics are very impressive, good music and easy-to-remember-controls: ctrl, alt, and arrow keys. But the end of the game is sort of shocking; the end shows Harry in the Great Hall with lots of other people clapping, and then the credits start rolling. And you think, "Oh. It's over." And then you just sit there and stare at the screen.
But the game is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE. The mouths move, Harry automaticlly follows the Snitch, the spells are easier to learn and there is more of Hogwarts to explore.
You can also use your beans once you find them. You can trade them for cool stuff. The characters are humorus and fit in with the game. But Snape wasn't mean at all. He was actually helping Harry make a Wiggenweld potion.
The spiders were awesome. The Aragog level was fun, too(I was the only one brave enough to do that level; my brothers and my mom were hiding in the kitchen)and a little hard.
There are more spells to learn too. But good ol' Flipendo is still alive and kickn'. But in the first game you used Flipendo ALL THE TIME. You even used it to defeat Voldemort(and it's supposed to be a FLIPPING spell!). But now you use Ritusempra, Diffindo, Skurge and Spongify(a REALLY fun spell!!!).
Hermione isn't folding her arms all the time in this game. It was really annoying in the first game. Ron is funnier and they wait for you when they are leading you somewhere(instead of letting you get lost in the castle).
This is great game. Get it!!!
