| | |  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.

 Okay, so I totally love you for that comment...but... Quote:

It's a blasted cell phone game. What next? A magazine called, Cell Phone Game Reviewer? I mean honestly people...just how ridiculous can our society get?  *nods head* Some people need to get their priorities straight...so when is GOF coming out again?

These gamers who make the reviews for magazines demand perfection even out of most cell phone games, especially one marketed by media giant Warner Brothers. They will make any attempt to judge and ridicule WB for a lackluster product... they almost deserve it.

I don't know what the reveiwer was expecting from a mobile phone game. Besides, it's just another one of those things Warner Brother's puts out during all that "pre-Harry Potter film release" hype so that they can make even more money. Meh, it's sure to occupy most people.
