4 stars (Not as fun as the others.) - Good: The character designs & textures were much better...& there were no glitches! Finally! The reward count is far more generous, & it's got Weasley Twins big time!As usual, the voices matched the movies vey well. Harry looks pretty bishie, but that's the deepest voice I've ever heard from a 13 year old. If you love video games & suck at them so bad that even a 5 year old can beat you, you will just barely manage to pass this game not cheating & only minor stress. (the Dementor part is a real pain in the fingers.)
Bad: The castle looked TOO different & was much smaller. No debug cheat to explore with....no cheats at ALL actually, not that the scheduling system the game runs on doesn't allow much for exploring. Too many locked door that never get unlocked, no Potions Class, no Hogsmede, No Snape >.< The main characters hair colors are incorect. If you're very good at games, this game will be a cakewalk & barely challenging. The feeling you get watching Ron accidently jump to his death durring a challenge is more impressive than the design for the dementors.
Overall, it's a piece of good fandom, a little eye candy, & something to hold you off untill you buy another PC game, you packrat gamer you ^_~
5 stars (A kid's review) - My 9 year old wants to let any compadres know that:
Compared to this game other games are like smelly feet. The reason I like it is because you can see where you're going, it rarely goes out of control, and it's fun, fun, fun!!!!!! I think it's beautiful and glorious. If I had a choice between this game and my brother I would choose this game.
The reason I like it is because the levels are great, the pictures are good, and there's this one level where you have to do this mirror thing where you connect the mirrors to a crystal ball.
So buy this game and if you don't you're just sick.
5 stars (Third time's the charm! POA great-) - After purchasing the other 2 Harry Potter games for PC I find the 3rd game to be the best. Issues such as difficulty saving games and very annoying chocolate frogs are solved in this game and small details like the ability to skip some cut scenes and a bonus bean room make Prisoner of Azkaban move quickly and with a great deal of fun.
There are joint spells, Fred and George's shop and a flying hippogriff challenge that, while fairly tough, is very enjoyable. The graphics move much more smoothly and EA Games seems to have mastered things like flowing robes and mouths that match words. All in all, very happy with this one.
