Summary: Great Game!
Review: My seven year old and I played on and off for about 2 months. May have been difficult for him--and his 42 year old mom--but between the two of us...we managed to figure it out. Some of the challenges he was better at and some I managed to conquer. It took us multiple games to learn the secrets to successfully completing but great fun! Neither of us had read the books but have now seen the first movie and are reading them. Can't wait for more. Well worth the money and time. Graphics are excellent although, with our wireless mouse, can get a little dizzy in all the excitement.

Summary: Great Game...But....
Review: It was a great game. The graphics were better than in the first game I believed, and there was more to explore and do. It was a lot more challenging and I really liked that. It would have been perfect, but it took a ton of time to load anything. On average, 1 to 2 minutes was the usual loading time, and that seemed to last longer than when you played the game. If they fixed that, it would have been the best game ever!

Summary: Great game!
Review: Excellent game and lots of fun playing for kids and "big kids". Much better than 1st HP game-more freedom to move around and check things out. Great effects and very creative! Not as many places as 1st game where you get stuck and can't move on. Great game for girls! Hopefully next game will have even more ability to chat with other people along the way. Was happy that the quiditch (still very difficult) and the dueling are not required to play the game after the first try. Don't waste beans on the quiditch armor or broom: They don't seem to help you win at all.

Review: I just received this and played it. It has very clunky graphics and slow movements. It takes a long time to play because it moves so slowly. The good news is that there are a lot of things to find and do in the game. I would have thought that the programers would have worked out the kinks by now. Too bad they didn't snag a Disney designer to help program it!

Summary: 6 year old says its good
Review: I bought this to noodle around with because of the rebate, but my 6 year old took it from me as soon as I got it home. She's played it ever since. She needs help getting thru some of the stuff, but she's helped me get thru other obstacles, so it evens out. I think it might be a little boring for a computer game expert, but it's been great for me and my daughter.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Gamer looking for Secrets
Review: "Congratulations! You've completed the challenge! You're almost as good as I was at your age." Oh? That was a challenge? I'll give you my honest opinion to start. I didn't think that this game was a huge improvement from the first. Some things were too easy, others were just a waste of time hard! Of course there were some welcome changes, like the ability to skip cutscenes or that the characters' mouths actually move when they speak, but I think I had more fun playing the first game. Maybe it's just that I expected a lot more. Don't get me wrong - - I love Harry Potter and this game was still worth the money. The spell learning was a waste of good arrow keys. I liked tracing it better. There were too many wizard cards everywhere, and so when you can't find a few, you feel like the whole game was a waste. Also, the quidditch was inferior to the first game. It keeps you on a defined track, and you can't adjust your speed. It's like a battle between you and the other seeker, instead of a hunt for the golden snitch. The character development is rather minimal, except for Gilderoy Lockhart. And I love the British accents! But you don't get to know Ginny or even meet Ron's parents or learn to hate Malfoy. Wizard dueling is a definite improvement. Once you finally master expelliamus, it's an exciting competition each time. You can duel real students from each house for an increasing amount of beans each time. That is, until you get up to 200, and then it's a battle of the expelliamus. How long can you bounce a spell back and forth? The challenges are improved, except that there are too many secrets. Wizard cards everywhere, and beans galore. The "enemies" are the same thing over and over again. If there's a space with a firecrab symbol on it, you know what to do. The gnomes are easy and obvious, and the Wiggentree things are plain annoying. But you can go and replay each challenge and try to beat your high score, an addition which I liked. I played it on PC, but I've heard about what you can do on XBox and PS2. If you are blessed (or spoiled) enough to have one of those systems, don't buy the PC edition. It skips the degnoming the garden and the scenes that serve as the introduction are boring, but necessary. THE BEST THING IS THAT YOU CAN SKIP THE CUTSCENES! Overall, it's a good game, and probably for children ages 6-14, but it may be too easy or too hard for some, depending on age. Parents should get a kick out of it too, but don't go searching for every secret or you'll kick yourself literally out of frustration.

Summary: Riding the Harry Potter Hype Machine...
Review: What a snoozefest! Whenever a game review includes "Fun for the whole family", that is always a good warning sign. Most of these Blockbuster-movie based games are usually pretty lame but this one is actually playable; this is probably why people are gushing all over it. It does not mean that it is good, no way! Harry Potter is just a well polished, slapped together, cash-in quick game. Parents will be forced to buy it, so it will automatically generate alot of cash. It really does'nt need mine.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Fun
Review: Harry Potter was an extraordinary game. You go through challenges, learn new spells, play quidditch, and even duel. You are Harry Potter, and you feel like you really live in a magical world. You even drink the pollyjuice potion and transform into Goyle, a slytherin friend of Malfoy. You verse Tom Marvolo Riddle(Voldemort),a giant snake called a basilisk, and a giant spider called Aragog. You truly need to use the best spells. Enjoy!

Summary: Great game, but watch out
Review: Much like it's predicesor this game follows the story basically and you get to look at more of the castle. I like the way some of the lessons/challenges are done differently. I love the stairs.
I am near the end of the game and have to start over because I didn't keep enough life points to get through the final challenges in the chamber. They are more intense than in the rest of the game. Somehow I never played quiditch so you must have to choose to play. Explains why my points aren't to high the first round. Reminds me of when I was in school and had to do stuff over. I haven't changed much. This is a game I can play again and again. Good job EA.
