Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Arguably the element of the Harry Potter books and films that most lends itself to a video game, Quidditch is a strange sport, and initially seems quite complicated. However, in the new game Quidditch World Cup, it's both fun to play and a good choice for all the family.
It's also more straightforward than you'd think. Much thought has clearly gone into providing a gentle learning curve, and picking up the basics of the game is supremely easy. It's helped, of course, by having familiar faces from the Harry Potter world all along the way, guiding you through what you need to know.
The ultimate aim is to walk away with the prize of the game's title, but first there's the small matter of the Hogwarts' tournament to win. You align yourself with one of the four houses, and seek to win that before you can move on to the international stages. And that promptly gets you into the heart of the action.
The gameplay, as you'd expect, is frantic and exciting, and while it's not going to keep the older gamer occupied for too long, its target audience is clearly going to be in its element. To keep things going that bit longer, you can earn Quidditch cards as you progress. These are rewards given to you along the way, and can unlock fresh elements of the game. With plenty to collect, it's an added feature that helps prolong the game's life span.
Quidditch World Cup is a game with obvious appeal to the many legions of Harry Potter fans. Fortunately for parents the world over, thanks to entertaining gameplay and its faithfulness to the source material, it's not going to disappoint them. --Simon Brew

Better than you may think,
This review is from: Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup (PS2) (Video Game)
This Game is better than you will expect yes it will be good for all young fans of HP and Quidditch but it will also be good with teenagers.This game has 3 aspects one training and the quidditch cup at hogwarts. two: The world cup which lasts longer creating hours of fun. and 3: Exhibition which is basically have a practise game or play head to head with a friend. You can be any of the four houses(they have all the characters from the books-Cho,harry(of corse!)Cedrick and malfoy who are the seekers. You can also be a large variety of countries from England to japan even to Bulgaria and the nordic islands! (its quite funny really the English captain looks just like david beckham-worth a look. This ikm sure will intreage all the girls out there who love beckham for some crazy reason. I suggest you BUY IT!!!!

Jolly Broomsticks,

This review is from: Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup (PS2) (Video Game)
Really well thought out, exciting game, initially found it difficult to do the special moves because they weren't very well explained but now I got the hang of it the sky is the limit. The characters are realistic, and even say things you can imagine them saying, especially the main characters. Love it

WOW This one is good!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup (PS2) (Video Game)
well when i first saw this game i immediately bought it. I knew it was good at the sight. You get to play as any position in any house and eventually any team in the world. try Auistrailia i found them brill. I took a while to get used to the controls but in a few days i was perfect. It is a challenging game and takes time. Remember to get the snitch if u are that position when u have enough points. I really suggest buying this game.
