  • 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. The game follows Harry, the wizard-in-training, as he confronts a fire-breathing dragon, rescues friends from the icy depths of the Black Lake, and navigates the twisting corridors of a maze. As Harry, Ron, or Hermione, you can cast a variety of spells in both single-player and cooperative modes. Expand

  1. The game changes a few of the things Harry fans have come to expect from the games, and though aimed at a younger audience, Harry fans will find a lot to like in the game.
  2. The ingredients are there for something good, but they need more time in the cauldron before this game can bubble to the top.
  3. It's a worthwhile platforming experience for hardcore Potter fans, but some may be put off by all the collection quests and backtracking.

    The game's not perfect. There are some camera issues. Some AI issues. And I really would have preferred to have more control over spells. But it still arrives as a solid entry to the series. Kids will probably like it a lot.

    the game is actually pretty entertaining and like other people have said its not that easy to play overall its amazing.
  2. This game is god awful, one of the worst games i have ever played. The first 3 Harry Potter games are classics but then this game came out and destroyed the Harry Potter Game franchise. Expand
  3. Actually really boring. Its poorly broken up into sections when it would have been should you have been able to explore the world and not just parts of it. Decent graphics that feature little to no variety and no replay value at all. Also you have to be perfect on every level in order to unlock the next level - That sucks. Expand

    Level design is uninspired. Gameplay/puzzles are stale and lack any real quality design elements. Why can't they let the player instantly switch between playable characters like so many other multi-character games? Poor decision on their part. Expand
