Amazon.co.uk Review
The game version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a clear step above its (still well regarded) forebears. Based on both the book and film of the same name, the game sticks close to the look and feel of the movie wherever it can, while filling in details from the book to ensure a longer playing time. The main difference between this game and the last, apart from the vastly improved graphics, is that you now get to play as Ron and Hermione as well as Harry. What's more, throughout most of the game you can switch between any of the three whenever you like, as the other two follow you around and help out with magic spells should you get into a fight. Each character has their own special abilities with Harry being a good all-rounder, Hermione being better at spells and Ron having the ability to detect hidden objects. You must decide which skill is most needed at any one time, adding a cool strategic element to the game. Together with the new graphics, which are far less cartoony than before and look just like the proper actors from the film, this is definitely the best Harry Potter game yet and is good enough to appeal even to those that don't usually like the little wizard--if such people actually exist. --David Jenkins

Wow February 15, 2007
It is a very good game. There are lots of things to do. The bonus activites are good. You have to be good at puzzles to play this game though. the spellls are absolute rubbish. However all the other people from Hogwarts are Scottish, American or Draco Malfoy-ish.
 Well well..... April 27, 2006
I had high expectations for this game, having been told by several people how excellent it was and that it was tailor made for an X-box virgin such as myself. I haven't played a video game in about ten years now, yet I completed this one in three days which is a little disappointing as I hoped it would be more of a challenge. Yes, the graphics are good and I enjoyed the extra quests but overall felt that this game was a bit of a let down even for someone with low expectations. Although I thought being able to use all the characters would be great, the constant badgering from the spare characters following you around with the most irritating voice over known to mankind gets very very tiresome within a short space of time, particularly when they are standing in your way and refusing to move at crucial points in the game....
Criticisms over, the enemies are very inventive and the game contains some neat little twists, turns and logic puzzles along the way, keeping it an interesting if brief game.
