Taking its visual and audio cues from the movies but sticking closer to the book than a two-hour film ever could, the PS2 game begins as Harry starts his second year at Hogwarts despite an ominous warning from Dobby the House Elf. At its heart Chamber of Secrets is a 3-D platform game, similar to Super Mario or Jak & Daxter, with the same basic controls being used for the majority of the game. However, the nature of the story means the game is peppered with various mini-games and side quests, including Quidditch and Wizard duels.
In between the major quests you get a chance to explore Hogwarts, which is impressively massive and filled with hidden secrets--the collecting of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans being of particular importance since they can then be traded with Ron's brother for everything from Famous Witches and Wizards Cards to upgrades for your Quidditch kit.
If the game has only one fault it's the extremely long and unusually frequent loading screens that keep popping up, and which you soon get very tired of seeing. It's not nearly enough to ruin the game though, which must go down as one of the best book/movie conversions of all time. --David Jenkins

Good playing but very short,
This review is from: Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets (Player's Choice GameCube) (Video Game)
I'm not really into Harry Potter myself but this is a great game with loads of magic spells and follows the story of the movie.The only thing about this game is it's short, Really short. If it had of been longer it would of been better as I loved playing the game but it only lasted 5 hours. It's good for a good little play but not really worth it because it is too short. If you love harry potter get it. But beware it is very easy and short.

Harry Potter lol,
This review is from: Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets (Player's Choice GameCube) (Video Game)
I am not a Harry Potter fan, but this game is great. It has some very nice ideas which work really well. The only downside is that the game is VERY VERY short and also quite easy. You could complete the game in a few days if u played it a lot.

Good fun, light, a bit short but fun! I like the fact that you are able to explore the castle, you are not restricted to do the task set, you can wonder around. Not great if your up for a challenge.
