| | |  GoF Video Game Trailer & Screenshots
The trailer for the ' Goblet of Fire' video game has now been put up on the Official Harry Potter website.
To watch the trailer go to this page then scroll down to the link for the video.
The game will be available in stores from November.
Source: The Leaky Cauldron
A brief review of the game can be read here based on a demo version of the final product. Quote:
There are around a dozen different creatures in the game, and each has four different types of jinxes it's vulnerable to. You and your friends can combine jinxes to create more powerful attacks.
Quote:
The basic gameplay shown to us in the demo consisted of Harry, Ron, and Hermione fighting off creatures while trying to run through some kind of gypsy camp.
Quote:
The models of the characters all showed a nice level of detail, and the various visual effects assigned to each spell were colorful, as well as plentiful.
Quote:
We did notice that the frame rate had a tendency to hitch up when too much was happening onscreen, but with several months between now and the game's release, we expect that those issues will be cleared up.
Quote:
The GBA game features simple real-time combat, whereas on the DS, when an enemy is presented, the screen cuts away to a turn-based battle, where you'll use the stylus in specific, rhythmic motions to conjure attack spells.
EDIT: IGN have also posted a small review based on the viewing of a demo. Quote:
In one mode, you're battling against a creature using Harry's wand, where you must draw specific symbols on the touch screen and direct the magic towards the hazardous beast.
Quote:
In the other, it's a virtual pet where you'll have to care for a weird little animal by feeding him magical treats. The feeding mini-game was a simple matter of sliding poisonous food off a treadmill before your creature gulps it down and gets sick.
EDIT #2: GameCube Europe has 2 new (but blurry) screenshots of Harry from the game, which can be seen here. EDIT #3: The trailer can be also be viewed on this page. Screenshots from the trailer can be seen below courtesy of Veritaserum.

The British site hasn't been updated so I can't see the trailer.

It looks great. Just another game for me to sit at my computer and play till I win. Took me 3 hours to win the PoA game. It was hard but bloody fun. I can't wait. *sits down and waits for the new game and movie...no need to wait for the book I pre-ordered this year*

Neat. It should be cool to play it with the dragon and the maze and all.
