  • Summary: Harry, Ron, and Hermione are back in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire--a game based on J.K. Rowling's fourth book.

    A fine portable adventure game, and as licensed movie games go, it's downright remarkable. The game is on the easy side, but it's good fun even for advanced players; they'll just blow through it more quickly, that's all.

    The game doesn't include all of the additional features of the Nintendo DS version but includes enough to make it a worthwhile purchase if you don't own Nintendo's newer handheld.

    While the GBA title pushes the system and gives players a truly impressive one-player package mixed with a few multiplayer elements, the DS version only adds to the previous game with duel mode and a few mini-games.

    Most companies believe slapping a license is work enough, and while the Goblet of Fire isn't a terrible adventure, it's not nearly as compelling from a visual or gameplay standpoint than what you could pick up for your GameCube.

    Another liscensed game. Hoo boy. Usually, when a feature film is released, game designers hurry and stick some simple code and sprites, some movie stills, blah blah into a blank cartridge. Goblet of fire is like that. It has no interesting gameplay, the sound gets on your nerves after just a few tries and - most importantly- it's DULL. This game just places a few levels and forces you to use the same tactics that you used for level 1,2,3,4, hell the entire game, to see to the end of it. Its just quickly made, gameplay forgotten, and bam! Selling. Utterly annoying, repetitive and boring.… Expand

    It is incredibly repetitive and short. Not only that, but it has little content. You will find it boring. While it does have okay controls, it is overshadowed with a lot of problems… Expand
