Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Continuing the game design style first used in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the graphics and gameplay for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone--previously available for the PlayStation, PC, Game Boy Advance, and Game Boy Color--are updated for next-generation consoles for an even richer experience in Hogwarts year one. Making the most of new technology, the locations in and around Hogwarts and Diagon Alley are displayed in 3-D.
Players take the role of Harry Potter as he arrives for his first year at Hogwarts and embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone. An adventure full of fun and magic, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone allows players to explore a variety of multi-layered 3-D environments. The game includes encounters with many of the characters familiar to readers of the fiction, including Harry's best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, Rubeus Hagrid, Professor Dumbledore, and his nemesis Draco Malfoy.

Don't listen to him. He reviewed before it came out! This is not a direct port of the older PC game. It has been considerably improved graphically. The challenges are more interesting and fun, and voice acting is tons better. It sticks very well to the book and film, which the previous did not. It has expanded on both the old game and Chamber in terms of Hogwarts itself and the way it goes into more detail, through many cut scenes. The cut scenes, though very good, with a better script and character interaction, can get a bit too much. Thats a minor problem. It has two other rpoblems. It can get quite stuttery during game play, and there are soe poorly animated bits (characters vanish during and at the end of cut scenes). I gave it 5 stars becase I enjoyed, and you will too.
Fun:
The game has a lot of interesting concepts, but The Chamber of Secrets was more fun. However I enjoyed it more than The Order of the Phoenix and The Prisoner of Azkaban. The sequence with the Gytrashes and Quirrel is VERY frustrating, and far from simple.Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone: Next Generation (GameCube)
