Aged like milk. I have a lot of nostalgia for this game but I think even as a child I was aware of it's faults.

In the last year, I replayed the game with the intention of 100%ing it, with the main objective being to collect all the Famous Witches and Wizards cards. This game is devoid of any fun, and the controls are so poor that even the better designed mini games feel like exercises in anger management. The biggest issue I had with the game was it's missables (if you've played it you already know I mean the shambles that is Gringotts), with many areas being locked forever upon leaving which isn't ideal for a game of adventuring and exploring.

It doesn't even make a good companion piece to the book/film as the narrative differs in places.
