Summary
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry is mysteriously selected as the fourth competitor in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament. Each contestant in this international competition must confront a fire-breathing dragon, rescue friends from the icy depths of the Black Lake, and navigate the twisting mysteries of a vast, dangerous maze. Players experience all the thrills of the movie - from the Quidditch World Cup campsite to a heart-stopping duel with Lord Voldemort himself. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all playable characters, modeled after their big-screen counterparts. In this game, an all-new spell-casting system allows players to feel the magic for the first time as the controller shakes and reacts with every flick of the wand. Players can also team up with friends in co-operative play to combine their magic and produce more powerful spells than ever before. [Electronic Arts]

PGNx Media
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.

Controlling with a gamepad is so much easier to move and aim spells. I would go as far as saying that it is a must.

Quotation forthcoming. [Mar 2006]
GameSpot
It's a worthwhile platforming experience for hardcore Potter fans, but some may be put off by all the collection quests and backtracking.
Read Full Review >IGN
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.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
The linear nature of the gameplay ensures that you will be forced into the various scenes as the director and developer intended. The puzzles and mini-games are fun but they are like eating candy floss; there's not much nourishment.
Read Full Review >Loaded Inc
It may have dumbed down the puzzles a bit, but what’s there is a solid lump of gameplay.
Read Full Review >PC Gameworld
A solid action game, however for the discerning gamer it's not something that really stands up next to it's film and book namesakes.
Read Full Review >Jolt Online Gaming UK
Somewhat annoyingly, the game often requires you to tackle each level a multiple number of times in order to collect items such as shields before the next area is unlocked.
Read Full Review >Sydney Morning Herald
The highlight is a brief but thrilling broomstick chase against a fire-breathing dragon. An underwater interlude is less successful, although it provides variety.
Read Full Review >G4 TV
A mostly average button masher that has the good luck of being associated with the hottest kids' property to come along in years.
Read Full Review >Computer Gaming World
Good for Potter addicts, but bad controls bog it down. [Jan 2005, p.103]
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
A remarkably solid and substantial game. Certainly no one should be ashamed of owning it or giving it as a gift this yuletide.
Read Full Review >AceGamez
Seasoned gamers will find very little of interest here, regardless of how massive a Harry Potter fan you are (personally I love the books and the films).
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
There is essentially nothing about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire that is any fun at all. I know this sounds harsh, but in my professional opinion, there is no excuse for a company like EA to have done such an uninspired and lackluster job with this franchise title.

Save your money, fellow muggles: it's best spent elsewhere. [Mar 2006, p.102]

PieCakes gave it a1:
Sorry for the low score but this game really deserves it. This is the fourth Harry Potter game to be released so you'd think EA would have realised they had a good game going. But no, They decided to change everything. You cannot change any graphics or screen resolutions. You cannot change any controls. In fact the only option in the "Options" panel is "Subtitles". This game is a real Console game. Nowhere near the great PC game it once was. The controls now consist of ONLY the keyboard. No mouse at all involved. The game overall is terrible. If you want a good game get one of the previous three. You'll like it better.
Alain H. gave it a0:
I hated the game because u cant change anything in it.. i have a 128 geforce 4 video card and the game resolution was so bad like playing an old dos game.. I wasted my money on nothing.. I didn't even finish the first level.
Mytir gave it a2:
Really a treeible thing, not bieng able to choose the resoloution or controls. Well the controls are fine by me (I learn fast !!!). But i really want to increase the resolution. I got a 7800GT and it really is a shame to be playing at 800 x 600. (looks more like 640 x 480) The Anti Alaising was fixed with the control center for ATI and nVidia so that isnt a problem. On the whole the game is crap because of the camera angels. I quit playing this game and switched back to Farcry for the time bieng.
Harry P. gave it an8:
I've played all the others in the past and expected this one to just the same as all the other potter game.. i was wrong this is by far the best release yet.. very enjoyable thanks to Deviance....
Michel K. gave it a0:
Totally dated. A straight console port! No way to change the resolution (it's 800x600)... A shame
