Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Preview: Just as the Harry Potter movies seem to be getting better with each sequel, so to the games have been improving with every new release. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire shows every sign of being the best yet with a greater emphasis on playing all the characters and not just Harry.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all playable (and they look like the actors from the film too) and each has their own special abilities, strengths and weakness. These can be augmented by collecting and using Collector's and Creature Cards as well, almost like a proper role-playing game.
Perhaps the games greatest draw though, other than much improved graphics, is the co-operative mode which allows you to play all the way through the game with up to two friends joining in. There’ll be no arguments over who gets to be Harry either as everyone has to work together with the most powerful spells only being possible by everyone combining their powers. The spell casting itself works in a different way than before with the analogue controllers being used to move your wand around on screen--you can even feel it shake as the rumble pack of your controller kicks in.
Harry haters still won’t enjoy this on principle, and to be honest it’s neither the most original or difficult game ever made, but for fans of the films and books it looks absolutely wizard. -- Harrison Dent

I loved the previous Potter games for the many activities and the chance to do so much exploring around the brilliantly designed Hogwarts. Azkaban was the best yet for that and when the new game came out, I had hoped for more of the same. What a disappointment to find a clunky, old platform-style game with next to no skill or secrets involved. A complete waste of money. MAKE A BETTER ONE FOR PHOENIX! You got it right first time with the old format. stick to it! Please!!

I'm an avid harry potter fan & it's the harry games that first got me into the x-box, however I was SO disappointed when this game came out. My kids used to love running around hogwarts castle & collecting things while I did the harder challenges for them. They've got rid of hogwarts and there are only challenges to do in this game.
Please, please bring back hogwarts fort he next game!

the multiplayer idea is the only improvement on the 3rd game. its fun to play with friends but 1 player is rather dull; bad controls, bad gameplay, can't freely roam around areas without being attacked by lizard like things that sprout from the ground. tried to copy 'lord of the rings:return of the king' by listing how many good spells u casted at the end of each level but doesn't work very well on this game. i got so bored halfway into it, i just dont play it anymore.

The films in the series keep on getting better, as did the games - until this release that is.
As mentioned before, theres none of the fun from the first three of exploring Hogwarts - all you get is a level select screen, of which you need to keep selecting the same one till you have enough shields to unlock the next level.
Too short, rushed, and just generally not as fun as the first 3. Take heed EA!!!
