Even though they were clearly aimed at children, the first Harry Potter
games nevertheless managed to be quite good--an extraordinary feat considering
that film-license games are usually awful. For this second crack at the
gaming wand Harry moves to next-generation consoles too, and, from the
two-level demo we played, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is looking
even better than 2001's efforts.
Looking and playing similarly to Nintendos The Legend of Zelda,
the first level has you zapping gnomes with a stun spell and ejecting
them from the garden they're roaming around in. Although simple in gameplay
terms, this first little section allows you to get used to the pleasingly
intuitive and flexible controls. A subsequent level is based on more traditional
action set pieces, with you as Harry jumping about on platforms, avoiding
elves, and using a magic spell to chop down ropes.
