- Graphics -
I'm not gonna lie: as bad as this game is overall, the graphics are actually pretty good for GBC; in fact, they've reached GBA level in terms of detail.
Graphics: 7/10
- Story -
Dear God... what? Aside from Harry going to his first year at Hogwarts, and fighting Voldemort at the end, NOTHING is even remotely similar to the book; The problem is, they actually -tried- to implement a story anyway. No. Just no.
Story: 1/10
- Gameplay -
I'm going to name one HUGE problem with this game right from the start: the New Game+ option. When used, Harry keeps ALL of his stats and (I believe) almost all of his items; he doesn't keep his spells, but those are easy to regain. However, here's the problem: NO enemies are any different. This means that on NG+, Voldemort is about as easy as the first rat you fought on your first game. Also, what's with all the randomly obtained items with NO PURPOSE? Why did the developers even bother? Some of them were mentioned in the book, but the majority were just there for the heck of it.
Gameplay: 3/10
- Music -
I only remember one theme from this game, and as I'm not planning to go back and play it, I don't see a reason to refresh my memory on the others. The only theme I remember is one of the battle themes, and the sad thing is that the fact I remember it means it was probably one of, if not the, best in the game, and it wasn't even that good.
Music: 2/10
Total Score: 3/10
Also available for ??? (Several consoles/handhelds have games with the same title, but as far as I know none are identical?)
