"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, gba"

The game needs some work on it. It is ok, just needs to get some kinks out of it. When I play a certain character, the rest, for some reason, get in the way or they do something stupid like get themselves hurt while collecting the beans. I haven't tried to use the link and see what it is like to have two players. I hope that will be better.

I am looking forward to finishing it. I am hoping the next one will be better. The graphics are better than the last one. The game does give you the option to choose which character to play, which is a nice bonus. The only problem with that one, is you end up having the other characters do nothing or get in the way of what needs to be done.

The information booklet doesn't tell you a whole lot. You don't know what to do with the different items you come up to or face. For instance, I've stumbled on something, what looks like waving flags or tickets of some sort. At the end there is a chest. The game doesn't tell you what to do with the things that are waving at you.

It would be easier for them to have the option of one language with all the information you need to play the game, verses having it in two languages. It takes up the space that could be used for more information about the game.

The challenge to get to the next level gets harder each time. That makes it interesting to see how to get to the next level. The shield are hard to find them, which keeps me wanting to go over it again and search for them.

The beans, don't stay long enough for me to catch them since the rest of the characters like to be in the way. I would like to have had them wait to the side, unless I call for them to help. Sometimes I call for them and they just stand around and do nothing to help the situation out. That gets kind of frustrating trying to get them to help out. Sometimes they just stand there and stretch.

I hope they did a better job on the other versions of the game. (Pc, game cube, and etc.)
