Three different reviews have emerged based on the footage which was
previously released showing Harry flying away from a dragon in the first task of the Triwizard Tournament.
GameCube Advanced
"It hasn't quite gotten above mediocre yet."
"The series is enjoyable if uninspired."
"The chase is fun but not especially great, and very easy even for a demo."
"Another afterthought for serious game fans. If you're looking for a good adventure title and you're not a Potter nut, I would suggest looking elsewhere unless this game shapes up dramatically in the next few months."
Xbox IGN
"Gamers no longer attend classes at Hogwarts and puzzles are being de-emphasized in favor of more action-oriented spell fights."
"Raising objects into the air is entertaining because they can be manipulated and show real-time physics."
"While character models are impressively detailed and particle and lighting effects look solid, the game's backgrounds so far are relatively barren and the framerate needs considerable polishing."
"The simplified mechanics are sure to turn off players who adored the Zelda-inspired setup in previous Potter games. But younger gamers will undoubtedly find the context-sensitive spell system and focus on action over adventure much easier to handle."
Gamers Hell
"The graphics received an upgrade and the game mechanics have too."
"Instead of flying in a single area to get the dragon away from the egg you are thrown on your broom and must zoom through the forest to try to avoid the dragon."
"The cinematics look incredible and EA has done a wonderful job at creating such a fast paced flying level."
"The other level that I played was supposedly the very first level. It is right after the World Cup and drops you into the heat of battle in the forest outside of the stadium. There are Death Eaters around along with screams and chaos."
"At the very end of the level you meet up with a Death Eater and you make him apparate by moving the rocks he is standing on."
"I only hope that EA didn’t veer too far off the story because I am a dedicated fan and will be sad to something completely off tangent."
