Harry Potter
is one of this year's biggest success stories after the four books that have
been released to date about the young boy's magical adventures, but bear in
mind that this review is being written by someone who doesn't know his Hagrid
from his Hogwart's.
Don't ask me exactly what you're meant to do, other than explore Hogwart's
School of Witchcraft, meet up with your friends Ron and Hermoine, beat the
school bully, Draco Malfoy, as well as his henchmen and get from A to B to do
what you have to in a game that amounts to an easy Tomb Raider style
3D platform adventure, presumably made easy because it'll be mostly kids who
play this and they don't want to have to faff around with pixel-perfect jumps.
The graphics are okay, but nothing special - about all we're going to get on
the Playstation for the rest of its lifetime, with its usual jagged edges
and clipping rearing their ugly head. Still, with the eerie sound of the wind
blowing in the background and an echoey appearance to everything that happens,
it strikes up a good atmosphere in general.
As for the gameplay, if you've played with Lara Croft - and who hasn't - then
you'll know what to expect, but on a far more simplified level. No particular
complaints, other than that the gaming world's moved on, but then EA
were hardly wanting to make their mark with a revolutionary one here.
Overall, this is one of those entertaining but specialist titles that'll only
appeal to those who either thoroughly enjoy reading the books, or at least
have the faintest idea what is going on - so that doesn't include me... on both
counts.
