Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup (PS2)

Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup (PS2)

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

Official PlayStation 2 Magazine
"This could've been a cynical money spinner, but it has been produced with real care. Potter fans will love it."

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than you may think, 15 Nov 2003
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!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars WOW This one is good!, 18 Oct 2003
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars fantasy sport at its best, 28 Oct 2005
Harry Potter quidditch is a game witch focuses mainly on the playing of the wizard sport quidditch it's an overall good game where you play in a team of seven players. The team contains three chasers, two beaters, one seeker and one keeper.

Graphics:
The graphics in this game are pretty good and the camera position shouldn't ever be a bother but there are some cutbacks to the good graphics in this game, for example the graphics are pretty cartoon and may sometimes seem a bit off balance but to lovers of the other Harry potter games (chamber of secrets, philosophers stone, prisoner of Azkaban) the cartoon graphics wont bother them and they will be used to the graphics. The overall graphics in this game are very good with no slowness or rough corners. The sound in this game is also brilliant with no problems with the commentating.

Story:
The story for this game isn't set among any specific Harry potter book but it is set around all of the books in general. The story for quidditch is that Harry learns it in his first year and plays it all his time at Hogwarts. The part of the game entitled world cup is from the 4th book where he goes to see the world cup which is commentated by ludo bagman. The game doesn't need much story to it as it is a sports game.

Gameplay:
The controls for this game are easy to master because they are just like any other sports game. The game is great fun to play for Harry potter lovers as well as sport game lovers, it's great to play and has a nice feel to it. The game itself may after a while star to get boring as you do play the same thing over and over again but this is the same factor you get with any sports game, it's a risk. You will play as all the teams you could ever want in Harry potter and special moves, certain scores and other things will get you wizard cards witch unlock things like new levels and brooms.

Replayvalue/time completion:
This game as such can never really be completed exactly but if you're aiming to finish the world cup it would take you about 6-8 hours and if you're aiming to complete the game by collecting all the wizard cards it would take you about 8-11 hours, this may sound a lot but its not short or long spread over time. This game has a lot of replay value but you shouldn't play it again for a while after playing it for risk of boredom.

Final recommendation:
I would recommend renting this game first and if you don't like it don't buy it as it is only a good game to certain types of people. If you are a fan of Harry potter or like any type of sports game try this out it's definitely worth renting. The game is a great game and worth the money you pay for it so rent it and try it out.
