Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

"Game that would be better if it was longer"

This game was fun but too short. The graphics and sounds wre good but the game lacked replay value.

Graphics 9/10-I thought the game had great graphics and the spells look awesome when you cast them.The charecters look pretty realistic and the castle looks real.

Music 8/10- The music was great and the spells sounded cool. But the charecters lacked emotion when they talked which made it boring. The quidditch had great sounds that put you right in the game.

Gameplay 9/10-The game was great and it was real fun. But again it was way too short and I wish it was longer.

Replay Value 3/10- This game is boring after you beat it. The only thing left to do is collect all the wizard cards and play quidditch which gets boring. If you buy the game you'll get bored after one time through it. Dont lay it twice you'll get bored of it.

Side quests/Mini games 7/10- There are alot of mini games and sidequests like collecting all the cards and the gnome tossing game. They all get boring after a while exept the broom races around the hogwarts grounds. The gnome tossing is pretty fun and it gets rid of anger and you win bertie bots every flavor beans for it and wizard cards. The broom races cost beans but you get cards for each race you win. The races get harder as you go though (obviously).

Quidditch 9/10- Flying is definitly the best part of the game. You play matches to win the cup but you dont have to win it. But you feel a sense of accomplishment when you beat it though. You can replay the matches after the cup is over and you beat the game

Over All score 8/10- This game only deserves an 8 because it is too short of a game. If I were you I would rent it not buy it. You could probobly beat it in a day if you play a little while that day. So rent it and dont buy it and you'll get the full effect of the greatness of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Its a great game for Harry Potter fans world wide.
