"Better than any other Harry Potter game!"

This is probably the best Harry Potter game ever! Everything is really good in this game. From the graphics to story, mostly every thing is good.

Gameplay
10/10
The gameplay for HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban is top notch. There are so many things to do and everything is fun. The best thing about the gameplay is that you can play as not just Harry, but as Hermione and Ron as well. This is one of the highest points of the game. And to change between Harry, Ron, and Hermione, you only need to press the B button. Easy and simple!

Graphics
8/10
The graphics for this game are pretty good, but not great. It seems EA didn't polish the graphics enough, but they still are pretty good. They aren't as good as the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets game graphics, but definitely are not as bad as the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone game graphics.

Story
10/10
Mostly everyone knows the story of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The game follows the book pretty good. It adds some stuff while it takes out stuff, but it all flows together.

Controls
9/10
The X and Y buttons are used to equip spells, the B button is used to switch between players, and the A button is used to do actions like opening doors or crawling. The controls aren't as good as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but they are still very good.

Sound
9/10
There isn't much to say about the sound quality. Most of the time it works, but very rarely people will say something but you won't hear anything.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of the best games I have played. Yes, it does have some glitches and it has it's problems, but there are many more good things than bad things about this game. Compared to other Harry Potter games, this is the most fun. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets had better graphics, but wasn't as much fun as HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

And about the load times. They are much better than Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The load times for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban are usually about 5-10 seconds. They are alot better than what they used to be.

If you are a Harry Potter fan, buy this game! If you are just a casual gamer, still buy it, because it is loads of fun!
