User Reviews about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Out of all the Harry Potter games I've played (Game Boy Advance and DS games), this one is hands down my favorite. You have to go through the levels, completing different tasks, learning spells as you go and looking for treasure chests that contain collector cards. If you collect all the cards in a certain section, your power is increased. The objective in the game is to collect all the cards before your final showdown in the graveyard with Lord Voldemort. I like that you have to play some levels multiple times after you have unlocked certain spells......so you can unlock doors or unblock sections that were previously unavailable to you at your (then) skill level. My only complaint is that you have to complete the WHOLE level to be able to save your progress......there is no saving and returning midway thru a level.....so it can be time consuming. Overall....love the game!! -- Nintendo DS Harry Potter & Goblet of Fire review
This is a fun game, but was hard to figure out in the beginning. It's very realistic to actual movie. My 10 year old daughter owns it and this is her review. -- Good, but hard to figure out at first
This game is really fun, until you get to the final battle with Voldemort, then it starts to get annoying. First off, Voldemort is almost impossible to defeat,but it takes him about 2 hits to defeat Harry. Okay, let me make something clear. I have read all the Harry Potter books, and I know Voldemort is not supposed to be easy to defeat, but the makers of this game just made way to hard then it should have been. Second, this game is way too short. I could have beaten it in a day if it wasn't for that cheap final battle.
If you like Harry Potter you might like this game, but you should try renting it first. -- Fun for a while... (Some spoilers)
When it comes to this game, it's pretty obvious that Nintendo DS was pretty new. The graphics are not as good as they are on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and the player of the game, hardly uses the stylus. The only time the player uses the stylus is for fighting a creature. This is fun in prospective but when the player barely gets to use the stylus, it makes me wish I was playing Prisoner of Azkaban for GBA. At least the player gets to fight the creatures more offten and cast spells, even if the stylus isn't involved.
The most refreshing part about the game is the player gets to choose which Trio member they would like to play as. The player has the option of playing Harry, Ron, or Hermione throughout the whole game, except in the last task of the Triwizard Tournament and when fighting Voldemort since Harry obviously does those alone in the book and movie as well.
The most annoying part of the game was having to go back through levels to find badges because the player needed a certain spell in order to get to it. Some of the spells required to access this item, were not learned until later on. Also, some of the badges were hard to find and even the cards. I ended up turning to Fred and George to buy most of the cards because it seems like I didn't find that many.
Also, the individual games were pretty fun and interesting until the player gets to the Bertie Botts Bean Sorting. I found that one quite harder and was annoyed that there wasn't any check points until who knows when. Some of the individual games were too easy like the Candy Pairing, Feeding the Hippogriff, and Chocolate Frogs.
Overall, the game was pretty fun and time consuming. It kept me busy for a few hours but it's pretty obvious that it is an early DS game because of the graphics are like a GBA game and the stylus is rarely used. I'm not sure I quite liked the use of the spells either. It wasn't as fun as the Order of the Phoenix for DS. -- At Least I Don't Have to Play Harry
