| | |  Potter game gets mediocre review
Gamespot has given 'Find Scabbers' (a Harry Potter game for mobile phones) a mediocre review. Quote:
Find Scabbers just doesn't embody the creative spirit of the work on which it's based. Couldn't Warner Bros. have offered resourceful players alternatives to finding Ron's beleaguered pet? Harry could visit a pet shop, then produce an identical rat. Maybe he could ignore the quest entirely and steal Hermione from the aptly named Master Weasley. Of course, the game's title would have to be changed to "Harry Potter...Find Scabbers?" In short, almost anything would prove more entertaining than this maze-based game.
Screenshots from the game can be seen here.

| Pretty, pretty Princess EEP! Alert!
It is only a mobile phone game so I suppose it can't be too advanced but I can understand what the critic is saying, it does just look like a giant maze game.

Two words. Tacky merchandise. This is the type of stuff J.K.Rowling was probably scared of happening to her baby when it became a franchise.

Lol, I never knew that they had Harry Potter games for your phone either. That's pretty neat that they have them though. I usually just play snake on my phone. Very time consuming game. Still I wouldn't mind playing that Scabbers game. It sounds like fun^^

I've never heard of Harry Potter mobile phone games. But this game doesn't sound that great and I know that I will never play it. It doesn't seem that interesting to play on a phone.

It's just a phone game so it can't be fabulous - with amazing animation and stuff like that but still i wouldn't mind playing it - I'd only pay like 2 dollars to download it or whatever but still it would be neat to play instead of pool or the other games on my phone - does anyone have ANY clue as to what company is putting it out for their phones?

Well, It's just a cell phone game; it can't be that great can it? I would be happy to have any kind of Harry Potter game on my cell phone.

The pics look okay, but I'm not really into playing games on the cell when there's a perfectly good PC or PlayStation that I could play on instead.
