Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

released on Nov 15, 2002

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the the second role-playing game for the Game Boy Color. It follows directly on from the first, with mostly the same game mechanics, controls and even some of the graphics. In this game, Harry is joined by Ron and Hermione in the battles. While Harry can use card combinations of Famous Witches and Wizards cards to produce special attacks and effects, his friends have special attacks unique to each other. To aid in finding one's way around Hogwarts, floor maps were added. Like the first game, this one also includes several mini-games, including Quidditch, that once found in the game can be accessed from the main menu.

One of the collectable cards in this game has the description of:
"Failed to persuade the Ministry of Magic to have all pixies humanely destroyed."
And like, having a Final Solution baseball card has to be the most british thing I've ever seen in a video game.

1 and 2 are sleeper hits for the Game Boy Color, glad I have had them as a kid. Full exploration of the castle, card collecting, plentiful mini games, faithful story retelling, these had it all.

apparently everyone loves every version of this game except the gbc one

A surprisingly nice turn-based RPG. And it's a tie-in based on one of the most overrated franchises of all times.
...the first GBC games felt really like a fever dream, but yeah, they did happened and do exist. Absurd.

Minigames (especially Quidditch) and some bosses (the giant spider of the forest can burn to hell) were slightly frustrating iirc.

Too bad you can't control Gilderoy, I was so curious to check his magics.

No está nada mal aunque tampoco nada bien. La banda sonora es lo más destacable y tampoco lo es tanto
