    I gave this game a 10 because I love the graphics and it followed the book pretty well and it is so much fun to play i can play it over and over and not get sick of it!

    I give this game a 6 becuase it is a bit disappointing. It is waaay to easy and even the first one on PS is harder! But there are the hard moments liek the libarry reading room at night, and Griffins and class challenges otherwise the loading is rubbish and the graphics are okay.

    My best game for my PS2 (apart from Ratchet and Clank) because it has cool graphics, great gameplay but is a bit too short, easy and loading screens are horribly long.

    I enjoyed this game enormously. The loading times are a pain, but you really feel like you're part of the movie, when you're at Hogwarts.

    I saw the movies and they were ok. I thought the game was gonna be decent, but it just made me want break the game in half. Harry Potter walk right for pete's sake. This game is only for dedicated fans. Really really really dedicated fans...

    Possibly the best book adapted game I've ever played! It really gives that feeling as if you're really at a school, and the new stealth sections are really fun, and I love being able to cast spells ON people! Only problem is the loading screens.

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

    I like it but the lessons are quite difficult. Especially Charms.

    its an excellent game and if it werent for the loading it would be perfect. i love it! it took me a little while to beat because of all the lessons to do. its challenging but not too challenging, and fun enough to play again.

    I loved this game. I gave it a 10, because the graphics, are great, the gameplay is great, the music is great, and the voices were great. Bad Things: Loading Time Short Easy Good Things: Fun It's more real(Day and Night) Quidditch Controls are Easy Overall, the game was much better than the first, but much easier than the first. I want to tell EA Games: Make the next Harry Potter Game more harder than the first and the second combined. Expand

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

    For Potter fans of all ages, Chamber of Secrets is a must-have.
  2. 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.
  3. Another 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]
