Rating: Summary: This is so much fun Review: The game just came today and I am having a ball playing it. It is so much fun. You get to play in all the quidditch positions and the graphics are just excellent. It's almost like really being on a broom stick.
Rating: Summary: It's good, but I'm a bit disappointed Review: The good part of Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup (hereafter: QWC) is that you have a lot more options on playing Quidditch, compared to the first two Harry Potter games. It's neat to be able to play the other positions, to see and play as any of the houses, and to play non-Hogwarts competition. All of those aspects were very much necessary for this to carry its own weight as a separate game from the two (so far) book-story-related games (HP:SS and HP:CoS).However, the broom-flying is MUCH easier in QWC than in the book games. In HP:CoS, you have to control both the vertical and horizontal directions of flight, and the vertical controls (which seem anti-intuitive, until you get used to them) are by far more difficult than the horizontal. This, to me, was part of the fun -- it isn't easy, and that's a good thing. In QWC, you control only the horizontal / directional flight. At first, I wasn't sure that the game was actually responding to my commands. In my first catch-the-snigget (for some reason, QWC calls the "snitch" the "snigget" -- what happened? What's wrong with the word "snitch"?) practice (aka "challenge"), I caught the little gold bug WAAAAAY too easily, and wasn't sure that I had actually caused it -- it seemed random. Obviously, how hard is it to chase the snitch when you're only controlling left and right (and to some small extent, speed)? Not very. Similarly, as a chaser, it's WAY too easy to take the quaffle from the opponents. Scoring has a touch of realism (though it feels odd to discuss realism in context of a fantasy game) with blocks and saves by the keepers, but not being able to control elevation is a pain. It just feels wrong. I got started playing the HP series games with my kids, and overall, they are great fun. As a typical parent, I'm not as good at the games as my kids, but the flying in QWC is too easy, even for me. Still, it's fun to play, especially trying out all the different teams and characters.
Rating: Summary: It's All About the Quidditch Review: This game could have a lot of potential, I know very little about it but I do know that it will be a sports game all about quidditch, you can play at Hogwarts on one of the house teams but you can also play in the Quidditch world cup. Also, you can play any position on the team. In earlier Harry Potter games, the quiditch was not very fun, you could only be seeker and you would just fly through hoops until you got the oppurtunity to catch the snitch. I hope that EA will not turn this idea that has huge potential into a big hunk of poo.
Rating: Summary: the best game ever Review: this game i recieved today and its the best game ever please dont listen to that rat that was talking bad about it he should read the package that says 5+ well any ways you can be a seeker, chaser, keeper, or beater.

Rating: Summary: Amazing! Review: This game is absoloutly amazing! - I'm a big Harry Potter fan, and when I first saw the game Qudditch was coming out and it was EA Games that was making it, I thought that nothing else could be compared to this!. Well, in some point I was right and some wrong... - it's a little bit too easy... I have only unlocked the 2001 Broom (I don't know if it has anything to do if the computer plays better??) It is really realistic! - Loads of the people you know from the books are in it and it's great fun, with the commentaries, blugders, special moves and more!... Although, a match will take some time!
Rating: Summary: An out of control game Review: This game is really fun and has good 3-D appearances, but sometimes when you are flying it sort of goes out of control. For example, you're flying up the field and you're aiming for the goal hoop opposite the keeper and you're about to shoot the quaffle through the hoop when you're player suddenly passes the quaffle towards the other team and the other team catches it without you controlling the pass. It just does it by itself. It can make you lose a game easily and instantly.
Rating: Summary: What a game! Review: This game is so very fun. When I got this game, I couldn't stop playing it. The only way I got off was when my mom made me. Here are the Pros: 1. The graphics are TIGHT! 2. You can play for Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw too. 3. I love the special moves. 4. The international stadiums are amazing. 5. You get to play as chasers and beaters too. Here are the cons: 1. YOU CAN'T PLAY AS IRELAND. 2. GAMEPLAY IS TOO EASY. Other than that, the game is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Ok, but could be SO much better Review: This game was fun at the beginning, but then it just got to be doing the same against the same teams over and over and over. If i were you, i would just rent it from blockbuster, after you have played for 1 hour and a half, itll be boring and you can return it. They should have added an online play feature, so you could play against other teams. i dont really recomend it for you because it is very boring after a while. (...)
Rating: Summary: The Best HARRY POTTER EA GAME Review: This is a really great game! It is way more exciting than the Chamber of Secrets and Sorcerer's Stone games. It's really fun and easy to control. The best part is that you can play on teams of different countries. Also you get to see characters from the fourth book like Ludo Bagman and Viktor Krumm. Its also fun that you can play all the posistions and can use different broomsticks metioned in the books. You can explore the sport better through tricks and special moves. Also its fun to collect the Quidditch cards! This game is really good and I would reccomend buying it definitely! Hope ma review was helpful!
Rating: Summary: Eh... Review: When I viewed a preview of this game I was thoroughly surprised with the graphics et cetera. When I received the game as a gift, I was most excited. About twenty minutes into the game I was bored stiff. The game is either too simple at times (I won every single one of my matches just by doing the same moves over and over again) or too confusing (there was way too many tricks to learn and comprehend whilst playing multiple positions.) I loved the whole idea of the game as well as the graphics, I just found the game too easy at times and got bored of it quite fast.
