Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup (PS2)

Okay so the graphics are pretty bad and theres really only one game mode, but look at it this way, it's the best quidditch game out there :P Bought it for a bit of nostalgia and it did not disappoint, very entertaining.

Excellent game for 7yrs and up, fun and easy to play, with great challenges to complete. Game received in top condition.

The game works quite well. You start off with the 'Hogwarts challenge' - where you can play as one of the 4 houses. This gives a nice break into the game as the different aspects are introduced in stages rather than all at once. Harry potter fans will know the rules (and they are explained as well) - but the controls for the different things (special moves, bludger attacks) are introduced after the basis (passing, shooting, tackling) - which as I say, allows you to pick them up better,The game play of the actual quiddich has also been done quite well - the focus is on the quaffle and the other aspects are centred around that. special moves 'charge up' meaning you can't just do them all the time, and the 'snitch bar' has to be filled by doing different moves - so you have to accumulate a certain amount before you get the chance to catch the snitch.after the 'Hogwarts challenge', you then get the 'world cup' mode - where you can pick one of (I think) 9 international teams - each with their own special moves and own stadium. by this point, the user will have learned all about combo passes, shots etc - and they'll have to use them, because it becomes more difficult at this stage. The 'Hogwarts challenge' can be won fairly easily - but as I say that's really an introduction - and the 'world cup' is the real challenge.The commentary is a bit poor (very repetitive) - but other than that, the game is quite nice and is fun to play.

Harry Potter is a great film and a great book. But are you wondering if the game's as good. Well, before you can enter the World Cup. You have to win the school cup. THis game is bit to easy as you practically always win the snitch chase. It is a very good game, though if you play it multi-player as it is then not so easy. My reccommendation is to rent it, see if you like it, and then buy it. I liked it but I didn't rent it first, I got it as a pressie but I probably would of bought it anyway. Try it then buy t! That's my motto!

Well impressed with the speedy delivery and the quality of the game

Quite simply put this is awful!I loved the idea of it and am a fan of Harry Potter but this just doesn't work as a sports title. It should have been a bolt on to a normal Harry RPG game.It is not like playing sports games as it isn't really a game as such and tries to be true to the film which really destroys the fun of it!Avoid otherwise you will be dissapointed.

When I first played this game I thought it might have been a good game, the graphics were decent, the play was not bad, however, how boring is a game in which it is basically impossible to lose?? luckly I borrowed the game, and in the two days I played it I was unbeaten and had won everything available, (house cup and world cup by miles)!! the game says it is for over 3 year olds, but it should also say not for over 5 year olds !! very Disappointing
