Adaptation of the airborne wizard soccer game featured in the Harry Potter books. Two teams comprised of seven players compete on broomsticks in the air. The quaffle, a floating sphere, acts as the equivalent to a soccer ball. Three "chasers" on each team offensively move the quaffle up and down the airborne stadium and attempt to hurl it through one of three existing goals. One "keeper," or goalie, on each end tries to block and return those attempts. Players must also watch o

5.0 out of 5 stars Harry Potter Fans Rejoice!, November 2, 2003
By skybird08 (In a chair reading, somewhere in the USA) - See all my reviews
At first I was skeptical of whether quidditch could be captured in a video game. Truth be told, I have not been blown away by the movie versions of the game. Even so, being a HP fanatic, and knowing that I have enjoyed the Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets XBOX game, I went and bought Qudditch World Cup the day it was released. What a pleasant surprise! The graphics are incredible--ok, they are not like Halo or Prince of Persia, but they are VERY impressive--and the gameplay is easy to pick up but challanging to perfect. It IS ridiculously easy to win the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup, but when you get to the World cup, you can choose the level of difficulty. If you choose to play on a Comet broomstick, the gameplay remains very similiar to that at Hogwarts. If you opt for a Nimbus 2000, the gameplay is much faster and much more difficult! As you progress through the game, you have the oppurtunity to unlock a Nimbus 2001 and, of course, the coveted Firebolt. I was amazed at the number of teams offered, and the different quidditch stadiums are a blast! Voice Acting is excellent. The music can be kind of annoying--it is way too dramatic--just imagine the mission impossible music, and you have a pretty good idea! They should at least have stuck with the music from the movies. Just don't expect anything like in the Lord of the Rings games, where the music is as much of a pleasure to listen to as the game is fun to play. Overall, an extremely entertaining game, and a must have for any Harry Potter fan. However, if you have any doubts, I recommend renting it first, as even the best game is not for everyone. ENJOY!

3.0 out of 5 stars Where do I start?, March 24, 2005
By M. Snow (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Okay, if you know the basics of Quidditch, I don't need to explain. To the review:
Graphics:
Definetly the game's strongest point. The players, the stadiums, everything looks beautiful. I love playing in the Japanese Quidditch stadium, because there's a big pond with a cool little bridge that just looks wicked. The little movies are fun to watch because everything looks fantastic.
Sound:
Also a strong point, but it really starts getting repetitive when you play your 5th match. Still, it at least sounds pretty acurate.
Gamplay:
THIS is the game's weakest point. For one, it's just way too easy to swamp the other team 360 points to nothing. When you're playing for the World Cup, it can get kinda boring.
Also, the idea of Quidditch seems too simplified. You can't fly wherever you wish, you don't have any vertical control...
It's still pretty fun, and you can get really wraped up in the game and forget it has anyting to do with 'harry potter' but it's almost just a kid game, which kinda ruins it.
The 2-Player match can help this, because if you play with someone who's just as good as you, then it gets real challenging and real fun.
So, it's all right for a kid's game, but rent it before you buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative gameplay, beautiful graphics., June 13, 2004
By R. Duterte "Ramon Duterte" (New Brunswick, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
As a fan of the books, I was determined to try to keep an unbiased view of the game before I played it, and I was pleasantly surprised at how unnecessary that was.

I was worried how the gameplay would work; it seemed impossible to program a fair computer Seeker, and since the difference between Chasers and Beaters were so big (Beaters don't even touch the ball) I was baffled as to how they'd keep a game with such separate elements cohesive and fair.

The game revolves primarily around the chasers, with the gameplay having the feel of a 3 on 3 hockey game. With features like "combos" you can even do what would be the equivalent of a slapshot. The shooting and passing are pretty intuitive.

What's very interesting is that you're rewarded for the complexity of your gameplay. "Combos" (kind of a long chain of assists), normal goals, and other touches you add to your style of play affect the "snitch" bar, which is how much boost your seeker gets. The way it works is, once two halves of the snitch bar meet, the game goes into "seeker" mode, which is a race between the two seekers to get the snitch. This race is affected by aforementioned boost, and some kind of snitch "slipstream" which makes you go faster. So, just like in "real" Quidditch, a deficit of 140 points can change with the catch of the snitch, but because of the way the game is designed, it's harder to catch the snitch if the other team has scored better or has more goals than you to begin with.

I was disappointed that you can't play as Ireland, which is one of the major teams in the book. Why this is, I have no idea. You can play as the one of the four houses at Hogwarts to win the house cup, and then win tickets to "attend" the World Cup, where you choose a World Cup team and play as them. The World cup mode is pretty exhausting, however, as it's 18 games long. What is also pretty cool is that your points are cumulative, so if you completely demolish one team (I beat Australia 400 to 0) it affects your rankings, and conversely, if you only lose by a little (say, 160 to 130), you don't go down in ranking as badly if you had been completely shut out.

There are some hangups with the game: the celebratory cut scenes and seeker catches have the same animations for each team, so after awhile you'll get tired of them. So far, I haven't found a way to change players, which is silly, but this oddly doesn't matter as much in the long run, as it changes them automatically based on ball proximity.

The graphics are great, the stadiums incredible, and you'll find yourself wishing you could watch a couple rounds of Quidditch on ESPN.

Also, I'd like to note that on this Amazon page, a lot of people gave favorable reviews then gave no stars. If you're interested in buying it I'd recommend it, but if the fact that it has a low ranking is bothering you, go through the reviews and see for yourself that the ranking should be higher.
