Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Each Harry Potter game plays to the format's strengths and has different elements in the gameplay; the PC version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is no different. It follows the Jr wizard's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the focus is on the puzzle aspects of the game. The action begins in Diagon alley with our hero purchasing the supplies he needs to attend school, from then on it follows the storyline in the book pretty faithfully. Each level of the game concentrates on a different aspect of the story: attending classes (such as charms, herbology, defence against the dark arts, potions with the evil Snape); visiting Hagrid; having to collect Bertie Botts beans so that Fred & George Weasley will give you Wizard's cards which you need to beat He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named; win points for your house and, of course, learn and play Quidditch. The graphics look pretty good, but the real winner is the sound, the music is just perfect and the eerie sound effects makes you believe that you really are at Hogwarts School. The only criticism is that the game is very short and even younger kids will complete it relatively quickly. If you are a Harry P fan then you won't be disappointed, if you are looking for a challenging game action adventure game then you might want to look elsewhere. --Jenny Fisher Manufacturer's Description: Leave the nonmagical world behind and enroll in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for the PC. Be Harry Potter, wizard-in-training, learning to master all things magical in a world filled with adventure, fun, and danger. Encounter breathtaking challenges and unforgettable characters from J.K. Rowling's worldwide bestseller. Players take the role of Harry Potter as he enrolls in Hogwarts and embarks on a journey to unlock the secrets of his own magical abilities. Along the way, Harry will explore the halls of Hogwarts and its surrounding grounds, study to be a wizard, learn Quidditch, collect objects to solve puzzles, become skilled at spells and potions, discover secret passages and locations, and interact with memorable characters from J.K. Rowling's magical world. The PC version features an array of stealth-based gameplay as well as traditional encounters as players guide Harry through the halls of Hogwarts, sneaking around to avoid confrontations with nosey characters like Filch and Peeves. Many of the adventures in the PC version are dynamic, leading to environments that change over time, such as moving stairs and relocating classrooms. The PC version also features a fast, arcade-style Quidditch game to further immerse players in the magical world of Harry Potter. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will be developed for the PC with ease of play in mind. The simple interface will consist of just the mouse and one key on the keyboard. The required system specifications will be minimal, ensuring that Harry Potter's biggest fans can easily install and play his latest interactive adventure. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - A bit hard for kidsHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PC CD) Okay. Nice game. Graphics are okay, but I bit blocky and unrealistic. I thought that this game was a little hard for younger players (like my cousin) to deal with. Some of the levels were a bit challenging: sneaking part filtch and Mrs. Norris wearing the invisible cloak, and choosing the right potion near the end of the game (got progressively faster and faster, making my eyes go funny lol). I also didn't 'get' how to defeat Voldemort, which led me to be beaten by him several times before I won. I thought that was frustrating. The game, in my opinion, ran a little sloooowly and you couldn't skip cutsecenes (which was rather annoying) and so I had to turn ...

I'd bye it for myself again but as i have already played it i wanted a different game. Dis is so much betta and cheeper den the PS1 version (i cant qout d PS2 ver cuz i neva play it and dat wd be slander). Its story is more edventures and fun with betta quiditch but ma sis did sumat to it and we cd only cast spells wif ctrl :S o well i say its a must have if u want a modertly easy game but with a gr8 story line . i havent played it in 6 years and realy miss it :'( i hate my computer ... Read More: Rating: - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone PC CD-ROM ReviewThe PC game incorporates a lot from the playsatation game of the same title and a lot from the book that wasn't included in the movie. For example, in the game, you get to dispell Peaves, where as in the film the character is never even mentioned. This makes the game very well adapted because it is one of the few out there that tries to stay very closely acquitted to the book itself. The gameplay is fair and very fun. You mostly follow the on-screen challenges as you learn new spells in the various lessons you attend including charms and defense against the dark arts. Primarily, you act as Harry, exploring the castle when you get the chance and following the storyline from said book. It's pretty easy to master the controls. Along your journeys,you ...

MUST HAV Rating: - HP review t.w.rI enjoyed the game very much. my favourite part was the final duel as you had use mirrors to deflect voldemort's spells.(shame i don't have the game any more)I also loved the quidditch tournament(I always won it!)I suppose the game is pretty challenging but mostly i like the magic of it. A MUST HAVE! |
