3.0 out of 5 stars Fun puzzle adventure game, a little too easy, February 18, 2006

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Video Game)

I enjoyed this game, but it was very easy to master. There were enough puzzles to keep it interesting and I played it through a few times just for the fun of it. I liked the music at the Yule Ball.

*** May contain spoilers ***

The flaws are this:
1) Each character (Ron, Harry, Hermione) has it's own skill levels to start, but eventually after collecting/buying enough cards, they are basically the same, so alternating characters doesn't really do much.
2) The Yule Ball and the showdown with Voldemort are more of a test of how accurately you can press certain buttons as they appear in the center of the screen, for example (A B Up Left A B A Down). This was actually annoying.
3) Finding all of the cards involved a lot of repetition. You could not just jump to one particular scene and the game autosaves as predetermined points. The payoff for collecting the Triwizard shields and cards is unlocking the 'movie' parts of the game and still photos from the movie.

Fans of the movie should enjoy, but experienced gamers will get bored quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must for potter fans, November 24, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Video Game)

Game boy advance games always surprise me with good graphics and fun gameplay. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is no exception. This game allows you to control either Harry, Ron, or Hermione, each with their own strengths and weaknesses (harry is the strongest, ron's the fastest, hermione has the highest defense). This game has 11 levels ( isn't in the adventure style of its predesessors) from the Quidditch world cup campsite to a confrontation with You-Know-Who! There are wizard cards you can buy with bertie botts every flavor beans.

overall, its a fun game if you are a harry potter fan. if you aren't you'll still probably still like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Fun!, February 21, 2006

This review is from: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Video Game)

My seven-year-old is a huge Harry Potter fan. About this game, he says, "I like it. It's really fun. I haven't been to any parts I don't like. I like the part in the school because you have to fight lots of guys. I haven't seen the maze yet. It's a little bit hard."
My son has had the game for over a month and plays it often. It is challenging because he hasn't completed all the parts yet. He said the part fighting the dragon is "really hard". He has another Harry Potter gameboy game, "Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets" and he prefers this game.
I'm glad it's challenging enough that he hasn't finshed it yet and would be bored, but not so hard that he would be frustrated and not play it at all.
