Video Game Reviews of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Customer Review: Nice game but could've been better
Summary: 4 Stars
The new Harry Potter game has very good new characteristics, but unfortunately some of the good old ones are gone.
The settings and castle grounds are enormous; you could spend half of the time in your game just fooling around.
Unfortunately in the third episode Harry Potter is old enough to walk around at night, there are no more prefects around that chase you at night and make you restart the level .,. and even though that may seem harassing ,I liked to sneak past prefects and make them chase me...
In this new game there are more spells than the older ones (like the transfiguration one and Patronus charm!!) but I still think there should be more spells you could use.
The best thing in this new Harry Potter game is that your friends (Hermione and Ron) are nearly always with you and they can help you "shoot the baddies down",(this is why i'll give it 4 stars instead of 3).
You can also cast triple spells to open some locks or to kill stronger monsters, and that is awesome.
In different parts of the game you switch characters (you impersonate Ron or Hermione) but still have your two friends helping you.
Fred and Georges shop is still there and you can buy all sorts of cool things in their shop, a thing that struck me was that in this game if you collect wizard cards your hp's don't become larger.
The thing that mostly disappointed me was that there were no quidditch games and no prizes to win, like the house cup, but sometimes in the game if you complete levels you get to go in the prize bean room which is great fun.
Anyway the game is worth it's money.
Buy it!!
Customer Review: I beat this game in a day!!
Summary: 3 Stars
This game is really fun, but the fun it very short which was suprising as the game was almost a gigabyte. I would wait until the price comes down a bit before checking out some of EAs' lesser work.Customer Review: Third Game in Series is a BIG disappointment!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I had so much fun playing the first two games, Sorcerer's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets. Each one was harder than the first. I was anxiously waiting for the Prisoner of Azkaban to come out!! I could have saved my money. It was a terrible game. Not one trip to Hogsmeade and before you know it, you have completed the game and...nothing. The Bean Room is great and I'm glad they don't have so much flying. I didn't like the inside of the castle either. I will rent the next one before I buy it.
Customer Review: Very well done
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excellent game. It's maybe a bit too easy, but that's all. I thought it was very well done because there are so many little sub-games and so many little successes that you can have in the game that you never get bored. It's really my sister's, but I am hooked. :)Customer Review: could have been ALOT better!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this game and it could have been alot better! For example, in the beginning on the Hogwarts Express, You already know 5 out of the 10 spells!! But, I have to say, what is really cool, is that you have to take final exams!! In the Draconifors exam, there are 3 gates, 2 containing challenge shields and 1 leading on to continue the challenge. I don't know how to get the other challenge shield, and it is like there is no way to get it!
Otherwise, this game is good, but ends too quickly, and is too easy. Also, to beat the game, you need to complete your achievements list. There are things on there that I don't know where you get checked off. The LOADING GAME screen displays hints, but is up for proably 45 seconds. (I'm not sure, cuz I am using Windows 98, and I don't look at the clock cuz I'm waiting for the game to come back.)
Hints:
1.In the library, when you are looking for the hippogriff book, transfigure a Draconifors dragon, get the fireball pickup and go into the room with the couchs. Light the fireplace with fire
2. In the Glacius challenge, where there is a small platform with 2 Depulso knights, and pixies, use depulso on the knights, and look for a small staircase going down. Follow it,and you get a challenge shield. (I missed it the first time and did it again. i got all 10 shields.
