Harry Potter 3 Game is Out Today
The Prisoner of Azkaban PS2 game is out today, and
we'll either be renting it or buying it soon. Sara and I both thoroughly
enjoyed playing through Harry
Potter 2 on the PS2; the puzzles were interesting and fun, and the
action thankfully errs on the side of being too easy, giving you just
enough challenge while not burning you out because you're stuck for
hours. Sara rarely hands me the controller in exasperation while playing
this series.
The games steal a lot from other 3rd person titles like Tomb Raider, Tenchu, and Metal Gear, but in doing so mix up the game play enough that you're entertained throughout, whereas you can tire easily of just creeping around all the time, or just blasting stuff while you run.
The new installment is getting decent reviews, and seems to be similar in play to the first two, although you can play as Ron and Hermione in this one, and there are more side games. New to this edition are 2 player mini-games like dueling club and "Flying Seahorse Fishing." For owners of the Eye-toy, there's also a set of HP themed games which you can play with up to 4 friends.
