Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup

"Good but feel bored after a few matches"

I'm a harry potter fan, reading all the books, watching every movie and played almost every game so far. When I heard of this game, I went to get it because I thought that it would turned out as thrilling and exciting as it does in the stories and movies after I was a little disappointed as it gets tiring and repeative after 15+ matches.

Gameplay 7/10
The gameplay is quite alright after all. The controls aren't too hard to learn if you go through those challenges and the rules...well...if you are a harry potter fan like me, you don't even have to learn about the rules and you would already know them well already. As you get started, you play against others hogwarts teams and this is kind of a practice as they are so easy. I beat all of them without being scored at all and with a minimum score of around 400+++ and after you get to the world cup it starts to get a little more challenging. You can choose the difficulty level too.

Graphics 9/10
The graphics are great. The players like Harry Potter looked almost the same as the one in the movies.

Story ?/?
As there is NO story at all in this game i don't think there should be a story rating.

Replay Value 8/10
You can replay this game again and again to get those quidditch cards or play as others teams. You can also try others difficulty level.

Sound 6.5/10
The sound is okay and the harry potter voice did quite well.....well...nothing much on this part.

Overall 7.5/10
Actually I wanted to give it a 7.5/10 but as you cannot give a 0.5 on the scores I had to round it up to 8. This game is quite addictive, fun and all but as you play 10 matches and over you find that the matches almost feel the same.

Rent/buy
Rent first if you like it, buy. As this game can get real boring after some time I recommend you to rent it first if you still haven't get bored after returning the game, buy it if you like.

Changes I hope to have
I hope this game could add more skills and special moves to get and maybe add a story in it. I also hope that they might add more speed to the broom as I don't have the......the feeling you know? The only speed you can feel is when you are chasing the snitch, boasting all the way up.
