a consistently alright game
User Rating: 8.4 | Harry Potter to Himitsu no Heya PS2
well Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets is a fun game for the first few hours but the game play feels stale after that and forced. The graphics are fairly good, the sound feels not very full at all, some ambient sounds would have greatly made this game feel more full of life. Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets follows Harry through his second year at Hogwarts, though the game is definatley more fun then the sorccers stone, it still feels a bit boring, but for the first 4-5 times through the game it was quite entertaining but after that it got very boring. The game is very easy because there aren't to many enemies to face, occasionally your going to be Draco Malfoy and his friends Crabbe and Goyle but their all 3 push overs. A few of the spells like Flipendo are made up but none the less are nice to have and Expelliarmous they made a mistake with and that is the fact it's a shield and it doesn't disarm the opponent like it does in the books or the movies, however EA games did get the spell right in the fifth game of the franchise Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoniex, and just for future reference, the proper incantation name for the shield charm is protago which they also got right in the order of the Phoniex but if you can get passed these few errors in the game it's definatley a good game to play. And Quidditch game play has been improved since the first game because you can now actually lose the game! Oh and one more thing, the camera is touchy at times.
