The castle is beautiful and the tasks are fun. Defeating that big snake thing was a little challenging, as were some of the tasks. Lots of hiddden stuff throughout the castle. And hey, you can't go wrong for $9!

I liked the Game very much. It was engaging the graphics are OK. The plot follows that Of the book. My only complaint with the game is that it is made by EA Games. As a Company EA games does not seem to care about customers. never expect to get any teck support

I bought this for my 6-year-old son. He enjoys playing but some of the tasks are a little complicated for him. There are a few spots that even my husband and I have had trouble getting through. There is a good amount of variety and it manages to stay engaging. It took a few weeks of play before one of us won the game. Second time through was easier but also more fun since I was able to locate more of the hidden items. The screen view is from Harry's point of view and caused some minor motion sickness for me a couple of times so if you are susceptible to such things, you might want to minimize your playing time. Overall, the whole family has enjoyed playing. I would recommend for 8+ unless your child has a fair amount of gaming or computer experience.

This is the first and only Harry Potter video game I've played. I loved exploring the castle and the school grounds and playing Quidditch (once I got used to the controls), and the music throughout was appropriately creepy and uplifting when it needed to be.

Some of the dialogue in the cut scenes was cheesy and oftentimes I felt like there were too many cut scenes back-to-back (to-back-to-back...) The amount of cut scenes (and transitions when you want Harry to go outside or to the Grand Staircase) was a problem while playing the game on my desktop computer, because they would take so long to load the scene or make the transition and then go back to the game. On my laptop, however, these things happen very quickly.

My favorite action sequence is the Aragog scene, where Harry has to fight off the family before he can get to the head honcho... the killing of the Basilisk at the end seemed easier in comparison.

Overall, my experience with Chamber of Secrets game has been very fun and I'm playing the game all the way through for a second time.
