I got this for the DS it is a lot of fun! My children play more games than I do but they decided to hook me up with this one because it doesn’t take great skill and it’s easy to follow. I really enjoyed myself and will play it again and again.
One of my favorite games when I was growing up! I recently bought this because I was feeling nostalgic (and I dumbly sold all my original XBOX games years ago). Other reviews have already stated the goal of this game, so I won’t speak to that. I will say that it is a blast, solo or co-op, and I still play it, even though I have newer games and an Xbox One. Go Gryffindor!
I thought this game was absoloutly sweet when i first played it at the pub we went to so i really wanted to get it but now i’m going to get the new harry potter game. but if i had a choice of getting another game i would get this one because i loved it. if your thinking of buying it your making a good choice so do bye from Reade Norman in Australia.
While I enjoy Quidditch World Cup, I must say that it falls short in some respects. As an EA sports game, I was expecting you would have a bit more control over changing dynamics in the game. There is no opportunity for substitutions, no injury, no changing the roster, no detailed player statistics, no variation of player performance. In short, this does not excel as a sports game.It does excel at capturing the feel of a frantic Quidditch match, for the most part. The game is divided in two parts. One takes part at Hogwarts, the other on the World Cup stage with different stadiums. I found the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup a bit too easy to win and unchallenging. There are also some training exercises you can go through, as taught by the roster of whichever team you choose: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin. One note to fans of the book: Despite this coming out after Order of Phoenix (which introduced a lot of new Quidditch players like Zacharias Smith), none of these new players are available. My best guess is that the rosters are those at the time of Prisoner of Azkhaban. Especially given the presence of a certain, achem, extinct character. I enjoyed finding the designers’ takes on the largely unexplored Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff team rosters.The Quidditch World Cup kicks things up a notch. The stadiums are absolutely fabulous and culturally spot-on. There is the stately Versailles-esque French stadium, the Outbackish Australian grounds, the mosaic-roofed Moorish Span.
My son is a huge Harry Potter fan and loved this game. He gets to play for 30 min after school if he does well.
I loved this game when I was a kid, due to my obsession with H.P. and all but the game is not backwards compatible with the modern XBOX360. So be aware.
My boyfriend and I played the first Harry Potter video game for the PC and really disliked it. It was obviously made for children, extremely simple, and the graphics were not very good (despite the fact it used the Unreal engine). I was a bit skeptical of Quidditch World Cup, but bought it anyways.And am I glad I did. The game is not overly simplified, but does take you through training very slowly so even beginning gamers can get the hang of it. I have a problem where 3D first-person or third-person games generally make me nauseous after playing a little while. This game provides a good perspective that doesn’t have this effect, which is great.The graphics are pretty good, but could be a little better. Given that this is for the Xbox, some use of pixel shaders or bump mapping would’ve been nice. Also, the victory moves after making a goal aren’t very plentiful and you’ll quickly tire of seeing them.
As a fan of the books, I was determined to try to keep an unbiased view of the game before I played it, and I was pleasantly surprised at how unnecessary that was.I was worried how the gameplay would work; it seemed impossible to program a fair computer Seeker, and since the difference between Chasers and Beaters were so big (Beaters don’t even touch the ball) I was baffled as to how they’d keep a game with such separate elements cohesive and fair.The game revolves primarily around the chasers, with the gameplay having the feel of a 3 on 3 hockey game. With features like "combos" you can even do what would be the equivalent of a slapshot. The shooting and passing are pretty intuitive.What’s very interesting is that you’re rewarded for the complexity of your gameplay. "Combos" (kind of a long chain of assists), normal goals, and other touches you add to your style of play affect the "snitch" bar, which is how much boost your seeker gets. The way it works is, once two halves of the snitch bar meet, the game goes into "seeker" mode, which is a race between the two seekers to get the snitch. This race is affected by aforementioned boost, and some kind of snitch "slipstream" which makes you go faster. So, just like in "real" Quidditch, a deficit of 140 points can change with the catch of the snitch, but because of the way the game is designed, it’s harder to catch the snitch if the other team has scored better or ha.
Very fun game though not worth the money unless cheap like how I bought my copy. Must have as Harry Potter collector and Original Xbox collector.
In my opionion, Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup is a great game, and a great buy. You can play all 7 positions on the team. I never get tired of this game; there are many teams from the Hogwarts 4 houses to Bulgaria, England, the U.S, France and many more. Level difficulty is decided upon by which broomstick selected. You can also try to accomplish certain goals set, which unlock cool moves and special quidditch fields, etc., by getting the quidditch card. The graphics are great, as is the gameplay. I would suggest it for all ages, even smaller children or older folk. It’s easy to learn and the difficulty is selected by you. I recently completed the game with Spain on the easiest setting. Now, I’m playing through with France on the next difficulty, which is quite a step up. It takes a long while to complete the game with one team; you must play each country twice or so, if I remember correctly, equaling about 32 games, take or add. Each country also has its own quidditch field, which actually is quite realistic to the real life countries feautured in the game. I do not believe this is a game you should rent before buying. I also don’t believe this is a game non Harry Potter games should stay away from. Even if you don’t like HP, I think you will love this game.
