    The greatest test of a licensed game is to ask yourself if the game would still be compelling without the license and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban passes with flying colors.

    It entertains, it excites and it's easy to follow so no need for cheats, and sometimes that is all that matters.

    As a companion to the movie, it certainly serves its purpose. But as a game that sparks new magic in the genre? That might need to wait for the next film.

    A by-the-numbers movie-licensed game that makes pretty good use of its source material without really doing anything too surprising. It's perfect for kids.

    I like this game alot, I think the whole area of the grounds was so familiar to the movie. Like the Bridge, the clock tower, and riding bukbeak, it was fun. I can't wait for the Goblet of Fire, and hopfully you can switch between characters again!! =D… Expand

    Bonzer of a game with a fantastically neat touch with EyeToy. Look forward to some new innovation though for GOF - it's due.
