    It does feel a bit short, and some elements of the story are poorly told. But as simple, fundamental platform gaming, it's pleasant enough, and Harry's target lock is really very good. [Jan 2004, p.37]

    But the core still involves lots of non-skippable cinematic sequences, a fidgety camera (and finicky controls), overearnest voice acting, and tepid platform-style action (any game where the first true action sequence takes place in a room full of crates set up for jumping puzzles is trouble).
  3. GameZone

    Two words keep this from being a great-playing game: menial tasks. The puzzles aren't clever, they're just silly, and oftentimes confusing because of the clunky controls and the sub-par camera.
  4. GMR Magazine

    Isn't a remake of the PS1 game of the same name, but rather a conceptually similar reimagining. [Jan 2004, p.68]

    When you're not being underwhelmed by Sorcerer's Stone, you'll be infuriated by it.

    Unless you're six years old and a mad Potter fan (who didn't play this game on PSone), don't go anywhere near this one. [Jan 2004, p.134]
  7. Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
    30
    But most unbelievable is the fact that there's almost nothing here I would classify as fun. [Jan 2004, p.118]

Yes, the graphics and camera angles may be.......nasty at times, but still! The quests are wonderful! Though the potion ingrediants were hard to find. oh well! But if I were to give a description of it, I would say, two thumbs way up! BUY THIS GAME!… Expand

    I liked this game, I JUST bought it tonight. Yes, the camera is fidgety and a bit messed up when glitchs or corruption happens. But overall I liked this game, I JUST bought it tonight. Yes, the camera is fidgety and a bit messed up when glitchs or corruption happens. But overall this game is great for the kids and has imaging like the second PS2 game. Unlike the PS1 game, better graphics and more places to explore. Theyve been playing it for hours, so it makes a great gift for the holidays. Buy!… Expand
