An unusual sports game
Nov 3 2003
Quidditch World Cup is basically a sports game. This isn't my genre, but since I spent an extra 6 hours more than needed on Chamber of Secrets fooling around with Gnome-flinging, flying and Quidditch, I thought I'd give this a shot.
Now I find the game to be extremely addicting.
The basic gameplay is simple. It suits me just fine, although some sports genre enthusiasts might wish for more, such as vertical control. Perhaps in a sequel.
The International Teams are colorful and amusing. The first three offered up as a choice (US, England and Japan) are also the three countries with the biggest HP/videogame markets. The themes of the various fields reminds me of Disney World's Epcot World Showcase. Colonial for the US, Bavarian for Germany. However, given the castle and wizard theme of Harry Potter this doesn't seem out of order.
Scoring against the other teams is amazingly easy. Most players will find themselves with scores like 460 to 10. However, it'll be fun and the frustration level is low. Once the Comet 360 level is beaten a special 2-player level using the Hogwarts Teams called "Queerditch" will unlock. With another human player, the game stops being easy and scoring is low, making the dependance on the Snitch more like the books. This will satistfy those who get bored with easy wins.

AWESOME for fans!
Oct 29 2003
Well, here we are with the first Quidditch video game. I went out today (10.29.03) to get it as soon as it was released, and the reason i say first game is that this one has so much potential for more.
Don't get me wrong, this game is fantastic. But a warning to those skeptics out there: YOU WILL ONLY LIKE THIS GAME IF YOU ARE A TRUE POTTER FAN. It can get a bit repetitive, but to a true fan, who cares: it's quidditch!
The only other bad thing is that it could have so many more options, such as a dynasty mode similar to football video games or even a season mode. There's not much to this game; however....
The controls impress me. It's very easy as a beginner (you can't lose your first match unless youre absolutely horrible). It's very easy to catch on, and there are a few special moves that, alone, make this game worth getting. It also has multiplayer, so that's a plus. The stadiums are awesome (sadly, the american field is somewhat disappointing) but the rest (especially Japan) are excellent.
TO CONCLUDE: This title is worth buying if you're an extreme harry potter fan. Otherwise, i recommend renting it. I, being a true potter fan, LOVE THIS GAME.

Quidditch is Awesome!!!
Jun 15 2004
You don't have to be a Harry Potter fan to love this game! It is really fun and easy. I bought the game about a week ago and have already beaten it. You start out picking one of the four Hogwarts houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw)to competer to win the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup. When you win the Quidditch Cup, you can try for the World Quidditch Cup! You can play as any of the nine teams, including USA, and compete against the other countries in differing Quidditch fields! Its awesome! When you win the Quidditch Cup, you unlock the first ever Quidditch Field called Quidditch Marsh, where you can just play a regular game without trying to win a cup or anything, just a regualr game. Well, hope this helped you in making your decision on buying the game!
