Review: I thought Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on the Sony PlayStation 2 was very enjoyable and would keep you hooked for hours! I would recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of Harry Potter. Play as Harry Ron or Hermione if all players are in the same room. Start of with the flippendo spell and further in the game get other spellbooks. Each player can do something different, Harry can jump and climb, Hermione can crawl and walk on frozen areas and Ron can open secret passages.Rooms Go through rooms like mazes to get further in the game. Some are very difficult in knowing what to do and get onto the next part of the game. I was stuck in one room for ages because I was trying to open a secret passage with Harry because I didn't know that Ron was the only person who could open secret passages. The marauders map The marauders map is found early on in the game and when found it is always in the corner of the screen. It shows the room you are in and if any others are in the room. The green blob is you and the blue blobs is anyone else in the room. The blue blobs can include suits of armour that can see you and can stop you getting any further in the game. lessons When you enter a lesson the teacher will give you a challenge to find a spellbook among rooms that are mazes. Once you have got the spellbook you must go back to the classroom which can be hard as there are other monsters to defeat. What to collect Collect Bertie Botts every flavour beans and get a collection Also collect wizard cards from treasure chests which you can find around Hogwarts. Also in treasure chests are missing pages from books. equip spells To equip spells press select then press R2 or L2 until you find a page with the spells you have got then highlight the spell you want to equip then press square or triangle to equip. If you press square to equip a spell you will have to press square to cast the spell. Two spells can be equipped at a time. Also on the select button On the select button there is also a page where you can read the books you have got. These will give you tips on how to defeat monsters or show the progress you have made. There is also a tasks list to show you what you need to do on that level. Mini games Play mini games like duelling, owl racing and hippogriff flying. The duelling is a good thing to have a go at if you only have a short amount of time. You can choose who you want to be to duel. There are three players in each team and you can swap which one of them you would like to duel with. The owl racing isn't very good. I can't find the finishing line. Other activities See pictures of characters and monsters in the gallery. See highlights of the film in the trailer. conclusion I think this game is very exciting and adventurous. I would give it a rating of 9/10. |
