Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (Mac)

Review: Don't buy this game. The parts that work are fun, but there are so many hang ups, freezes, and blank screens that the fun quickly becomes pure frustration. Not too far into the game, you simply cannot proceed. Aspyr informed me that they were aware of the problems and were working on fixes. They also said this was "mostly" a problem with OS 9 users.

Review: Don't waste your money on this game!!! All it does is freeze up. It is slow and full of bugs. What a waste of money and time. They say there is a patch -- but won't say when. This game should never have been released to the public.

Review: Game had problems playing on OS9. "Customer support" states theres a "glitch". Invested in OSX, game continues to freeze. No patches or fixes available.

Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a great game.
You start out by the Womping Willow and you have to save Ron.That part's easy.But the challenges are a lot harder.
There are "fire crabs"who shoot flames at you, and the fire snails chase you when they see you, and revive quickly after you put Ricktusempra on them.
Fred and George set up a bean trading system so you can buy Nimbus 2001's, and other really cool stuff!
If you have floberworm mucus and wiggentree bark, when you walk up to a cauldron, you get a potion that gives you full health when you press the space bar!!
When you get 10 bronze wizard cards, you get another health bar!!
This is definitely better than the first game.

Review: I am running OS X (10.2.6) and the program is incredibly buggy. Very frustrating for adults, but a total deal-breaker for kids! There are problems saving and problems crashing. We had problems with the last Potter game, too, but subsequent patches from Aspyr and the use of cheat codes to jump levels (to avoid game freezes) saved the day. There are no patches from Aspyr yet for Chamber of Secrets and I am not inclined to go through the painful rigamarole of helping them fix a program which feels like it is barely out of the beta stage of development. AVOID.

Review: My five year old son and I played "Sorcerer's Stone" together and loved it. I ordered "Chamber of Secrets" despite the posted comments about its "bugginess". Once we loaded it and gave it plenty of memory the game ran perfectly until...I estimate about a third of the way through, as we shifted from one "challenge trial" to another, the screen went irrevocably black, which in effect ended the game. I called Aspyr and the tech knew just what had happened as all players who are running OS 9 experience this. He told me that they are working on a patch for this problem but he doesn't know when it will be available. We'll probably wait for the patch as we loved the first third (some real improvements over "Sorcerer's Stone). Hadn't even gotten to the first Quidditch match.
