Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter is back again with his fourth game, the Goblet of Fire, and i have to say this. This game wasn't great but it didn't exactly stink either. One thing I really liked about it would have to be the option to play as any character you want. Ron, Hermione, or Harry are your choices and I think that's great because if your favorite character is Hermione and you were disappointed in the second and third games then you get to play as her. That aspect of the game is very appealing. Still Harry Potter has major flaws for a couple of reasons, the sounds stink. Ron doesn't sound like Ron and Harry doesn't sound like Harry, plus when you hear them talk in the gameplay it's usually some stupid meaningless phrase that's not funny at all and makes you think, why even have my volume turned up. The creatures make really annoying noises and sometimes even bizarre noises from nowhere stand out. The gameplay is so so but just doesn't feel good when playing. I felt the fun factor in this game was really downgraded, especially from the second game. I could sit and play the second game for hours and not get bored, but the Goblet of Fire just doesn't have that. The lighting and effects aren't intriguing at all and the menus are dark and boring. Ithink one more good point about the game before I close this review out is how good the game looks. The graphics are nice and correlate with the gameplay well on some levels but on others it doesn't. Harry looks good, Hermione looks good, and Ron looks good in this game, but you still don't get a realistic experience of playing them because of all the other negative factors in the game. Overall, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a game worth checking out, but don't spend your money on it. The game's gameplay is average and the graphics are good, but the game has so many other problems, the graphics are usually overlooked. Not worth buying.
