Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Preview

Even though they were clearly aimed at children, the first Harry Potter games nevertheless managed to be quite good--an extraordinary feat considering that film-license games are usually awful. For this second crack at the gaming wand Harry moves to next-generation consoles too, and, from the two-level demo we played, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is looking even better than 2001's efforts.

Looking and playing similarly to Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda, the first level has you zapping gnomes with a stun spell and ejecting them from the garden they're roaming around in. Although simple in gameplay terms, this first little section allows you to get used to the pleasingly intuitive and flexible controls. A subsequent level is based on more traditional action set pieces, with you as Harry jumping about on platforms, avoiding elves, and using a magic spell to chop down ropes. It’s a real surprise to see a game this high profile, which would easily have sold a million if it’d been a blank disc with the Harry Potter logo, being made with such care and imagination. In fact, so good does it look so far that the old lie about nonfans of the movie/book being able to enjoy it might actually be true. --David Jenkins

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game, way better than the first!, November 11, 2002
By Michael T. Rognlien (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Picked up a copy of this game for PS2, and while I can't comment on the other platforms, I can say that this game is a lot of fun.

It does play similar to Legend of Zelda in that you acquire things and spells as you move through the game to help out.. lots of side games and other tasks included to give you a breather from regular gameplay and rack up points for Griffindor.

The only downside to this game (and the reason it gets 4 instead of 5 stars) is the frequent and lengthy load times as you move between parts of Hogwarts.. sometimes 15-20 seconds of loading for every couple minutes of moving around. A "warp" feature similar to Zelda would have helped out here and taken away the need to always go back and forth through frequently-used parts of the castle.

Great graphics, good level of difficulty and LOTS of fun.. highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely fun, nonviolent, and well-planned game, November 26, 2002
By David Traill (Stuart, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
OK, so Iam 31. But I did get this for myself and my nephew & niece to play together over Thanksgiving. I intended to play it for a little while, and ended up playing for hours over a few nights. The game itself unfolds well, with Ron Weasley or other chracters providing suggestions of things you need to do when you take too long exploring or doing things other than what you're supposed to. There are quite a lot of opporutnities to explore the world of Harry Potter, and although you might think it is nearing its end, it seems to find a new thing to challenge you with. Children and adults both will find it entertaining, graphically sharp, and interesting enough to keep them occupied for quite a while. You never see anyone die, only a character comes back to a previous starting point. In all, I would have no problems letting younger children play this game. The big test will be when I see my niece and nephew in a couple days, and then they will have to decide who gets to play and who gets to watch. In short, a very good game for anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Highs and Low's for HP2, May 13, 2003
After having played the Harry Potter games first on the computer, I have to say that the Gamecube/PS2 versions are SOOO much better - graphically, interaction and depth of interaction between Harry and everyone (or every monster) that he encounters.

As a novice gamer (I'm 24/female.. yeah, I know) - this game was great in difficulty and challenge. I would recommend it to any beginner/medium gamers or any kids/young teens. While a number of reviewers were upset that the storyline didn't totally follow the plot of the book, I don't think that is something to be expected. It's too difficult to make it a "choose your own adventure" and expect to follow a novel precisely. I definitely feel like I was experiencing Hogwarts throughout the gameplay.

Ok, now the Pros and Cons:

Pros:
- Amazing graphics, everything is stunning
- Seeing the Burrow and Diagon Alley (it's nice they included both of these places, although your interaction there is limited)
- You have access through most of Hogwarts and various parts of the grounds. This is more accessible if you win your Nimbus 2001..
- Free Broomstick flying/competitions and of course, Quidditch.
- Gnome Throwing Games (you get wizard cards for winning)
- Trade-in's using Bernie Botts beans at Fred & George's shop for tools like stink pellets to help you on your quest.
- Using of different spells to complete your tasks and challenges. This is fun since you have to figure out how to defeat certain monsters.
- Potion vials to increase stamina (get this the very 1st thing if you can at Fred & George's shop!!)
- Dueling (take that Draco!)

Cons:
- Camera angles. This drove me insane. The view would go in crazy angles at the slightest bit which can totally throw you off if you are jumping, fighting an opponent (to the point I can't even see where I'm shooting at) or trying to watch for Prefects!
- Yes, loading time... everyone else has mentioned it on here so I guess I should too. Well, at least you can take bathroom breaks in between.
- No skipping cut scenes. This is a pain, especially if you are starting over on a certain level.
- Only 6 days at Hogwarts? That's pretty short for a school year.
- Broomstick racing/Quidditch is too smooth/angular on screen, it doesn't really feel or look like you're flying. (the computer version was much better)
- Characters look nothing like the ones from the movies... but guess that's a trivial thing like the storyline.

This may be a silly thing to note but it's helpful - if you get hit during your tasks, you will lose a number of Beans and you WILL need them. I recommend getting the beans at the end of the day when you're back in the castle, then go to Fred & George's shop at night for your purchases.

Well, I rented this and loved the game so I do plan on buying it. Since I'm recommending this on Amazon.com, you will get it cheaper here than anywhere else.
