Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup brings you the complexity and challenge of the favorite sport in Harry Potter's world! The first multiplayer Harry Potter experience,where two players can play head-to-head

[...] It so how amazing how well they made quidditch a video game. Each team has it's special abilility (like griffindor has the wealsy wangler). They have all the teams including bulgaria except Ireland [...]. you play the hogwarts cup and the world cup until you win. You can also play 2-player. Best game ever. Hriday Kemburu

If you like a racing game or a high speed game this is for you. I don't actually think anyone will dilike this game because it is the best game ever!!!! I love playing this game every day trying to unloclk quiditch cards, stadiums, brooms, and teams. I think you should buy this game (...). Some matches can go from 5 minutes to an hour, because it depends how fast you git the snitch meter up. You also can do special moves such as the Wronski Feint and Wealsy Wangler. You should ask for this game or your parents should get it for your birthday or something. Hk

This game is probably the best game I ever bought. Even though I got the game two years (2005) after it came out(2003) I never get bored of playing it. You can choose difficulty levels by the type of broom. Comet 260-begginer, Nimbus 2000- a little harder, Nimbus 2001- hard, Firebolt-Expert. You also get to play in the Hogwarts cup and the quiditch world cup. Which is ver cool! I don't know why they didn't include ireland in the game but it is still good. At the begginging you have to do a 6 challenges and than you can start playing. You can also play in Exibition mode (2 player mode) Which is hard and fun if you are playing against someone who is just as good as you. P.S. I bought the game and didn.t open it yet but researched it and played it at my friends houses so much I know all this. P.S.S It is very cheap right now.

Okay, if you know the basics of Quidditch, I don't need to explain. To the review:
Graphics:
Definetly the game's strongest point. The players, the stadiums, everything looks beautiful. I love playing in the Japanese Quidditch stadium, because there's a big pond with a cool little bridge that just looks wicked. The little movies are fun to watch because everything looks fantastic.
Sound:
Also a strong point, but it really starts getting repetitive when you play your 5th match. Still, it at least sounds pretty acurate.
Gamplay:
THIS is the game's weakest point. For one, it's just way too easy to swamp the other team 360 points to nothing. When you're playing for the World Cup, it can get kinda boring.
Also, the idea of Quidditch seems too simplified. You can't fly wherever you wish, you don't have any vertical control...
It's still pretty fun, and you can get really wraped up in the game and forget it has anyting to do with 'harry potter' but it's almost just a kid game, which kinda ruins it.
The 2-Player match can help this, because if you play with someone who's just as good as you, then it gets real challenging and real fun.
So, it's all right for a kid's game, but rent it before you buy it.

GREAT GAME!!!
Needs more teams; the ability to play with linked gamecube/ps2/xbox so you can play with 14 players (each player controls one person.);
more than needs the real names of all the players; it should be more like ea sports games for injuries, stats, and substitutions; there should be a franchise mode and the ability to sign players coming from Hogwarts or other schools; there should also be a professional league containing chudley cannons, puddlemere united, etc.;
