Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (PC)

I thought this was an ok game, compared to other video games I've played. But looking at the graphics, they have really improved the strength and quality of the gaming. The movement of characters and the response time in various scenes are a bit slow, but this again may depend on my PC memory. The overall experience was great.

In my opinion, this is the best Harry Potter game ever released for PC/console (apart from the latest Lego game!), and I have played every single one of them.

This one is pure fun to play, controlling your character is easy and natural, you have free look etc, the game play isn't to easy and too hard either, making it fun and pleasure to play... Sadly EA decided to drop this approach in later HP games, making them either completely unplayable due to some crazy new character control system, or just simplifying the game play to the point when it isn't any fun to play any more.

Essentially every HP game after Prisoner of Azkaban was a disappointment and waste of money.

Summarizing : HP Prizoner of Azkaban is a great game, worth every penny, I keep coming back to this game every now an then, and I enjoy it every time :)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a big let-down due to how the first two games were both impressive and came with good graphics, while this one is poorly rendered. It can be fun collecting cards and sweets etc. and it's very good how you are able to play more than one character in this one, as apposed to the first and second games, in which you could only play Harry. The graphics, unlike the second game, are terrible! The screen freezes temporarily, but you still need to keep controlling it and that really aggrivates the player.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - I had problems getting my microsoft joystick to work with this game (on PC). So I contacted EA Games help. They told me that it is simply not compatible with game controllers on PCs. A bit pathetic I think. Particularly after the problems before with XP incompatibility with Philosopher's Stone and given the clear profits to be made with the Harry Potter games franchise, I think it's about time EA Games got their act together.
