90EA did a great job on this game capturing all of the looks and voices of the characters from the film and books, and a superb job capturing the environments that look almost identical, even if a tad scaled down, to the film.
-
84A very well done 3D adventure game filled with a fun quest, challenging puzzles and an intuitive control scheme and magic system.
-
Extra house points to the PS2 version for letting you zoom around campus willy-nilly on your Nimbus 2000. [15 Nov 2002, p.144]
-
80For Potter fans of all ages, Chamber of Secrets is a must-have.
-
May not be one of the longest lived, gameplay-wise; it may not offer the most sophisticated or mature battles but it is certainly one of the more visually accomplished games to have been developed recently.
-
It's incredible how accurately this game captures the look of the movies and the spirit of the books. [Dec 2002, p.204]
-
73Offering a polished mix of strong graphics and solid gameplay, Chamber of Secrets is a marked improvement over its predecessor.
-
The biggest deal is the opportunity to actually explore Hogwarts. [Jan 2003, p.124]
-
If not for the loading, HP is a near perfect film adaptation. [Dec 2002, p.78]
-
Easily recommended to fans, as the game looks great, is easy to control, and offers minimal frustration for those who just want to have fun traipsing around the world.
-
There is a glaring misbalance in the game progression, and additionally, the load times are almost grotesquely long, a fact that can lead to some unnecessary frustration.
-
60Another strange weakness is the storytelling, which glosses over key events and explains itself so poorly that if you don't know the story already, you might not figure it out. [Jan 2003, p.36]
-
60Not only did “The Chamber of Secrets” NOT turn me into a Harry Potter consumer (which I wasn’t prior to playing it), but it has made me shun away from playing any PS2 games aimed at children for a good long while.
-
It's boring. [Jan 2003, p.94]
-
60A too-straightforward, by-the-numbers Zelda-style action number that’s strictly for the younger Potter fan interested in playing an interactive storybook.
-
It plays like a cobbled together collection of repetitive, below-par sub-games. Quite simply, it’s extremely boring, and the sensation of fun never once makes its presence felt.

OprahW.3It is really boring. I got bored of it in about ten minutes.

MartinL.8This game is super fun. The loading can tick you of, especially for simple things, but it is very interesting and catchy.
