Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Two years after versions on other platforms, the then-current consoles got their own adaptation of the first Harry Potter book and film. Like in the computer and PlayStation versions, Harry Potter's first year at school of magic Hogwarts is presented as a 3D action-adventure title. The game is organized into distinct days and nights: days mostly consist of lessons where usually Harry will learn new spells, but the more interesting stuff happens at night when Harry sneaks around the castle to do things like meeting Draco Malfoy for a duel, fighting a troll in the dungeons and other important scenes from the film and book. Most tasks involve platform sections, where Harry has to jump over chasms and balance along edges. Often, creatures will be in the way that have to be fought using the correct spells, and magic must also be used to solve the occasional puzzle. At night, Harry must watch out for prefects patrolling the floors of the castle to avoid getting sent back to the common room. There's also broomstick flying in the game, including a Quidditch match against Slytherin.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Gamecube) offers a whimsical exploration of Hogwarts, letting players live out moments from the beloved book and film. You'll attend charming classes, learn iconic spells, and explore the castle's secrets. However, the gameplay feels dated with awkward controls and repetitive challenge types. While it captures the magic of the early Harry Potter world, the clunky execution and short length make it an experience primarily for die-hard fans looking for a dose of nostalgia.

não lembro tanto quanto gostaria, mas talvez seja melhor assim

I know that it's primarily directed towards children, but this is laughable at times.

The level design is annoying. Dialogue and cutscenes are unbearably slow, and unskippable. The controls are slow and clunky, and sometimes even unresponsive, with the gameplay almost constantly working against you. You spend most of the game picking up hundreds of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, and Harry tells you the flavor of each bean he picks up, and it gets annoying after three. There are big gaps in the story that wouldn't make sense to anyone if they haven't read the book or watched the movie that honestly didn't bother me because I just wanted it to end.

I played this game all the time as a kid (ALL THE TIME), and I can still see why, but this is not good. Fuck this game.

The game can crash sometimes and by that I don't mean "blacking out" but instead showing weird glitches on the TV. There was a time when I needed to hear Hermione speaking for 20 minutes or more. That wasn't pleasurable at all.

The camera is an absolute nightmare too!!

This is €120 to buy in cex

it's fine, but not as great as Chamber of Secrets
