You nailed it. COS on PC and Quidditch were peak HP gaming.

I played the PC version when I was a kid, I realised that the ai couldn't handle charged passes rather quickly and managed to charge through to the world cup, so I never knew the game had special moves as the charged passes managed to outpace the ai teams speed and coordination, also the lightning effect it had was cool

I missed these videos... Good job as always!

This is great timing ive been binging ur comparing the HP videos the last few days

First I will say, I always did find the game to be too easy (when playing against the computer, im sure when playing against friends its much tougher, but i never had any of those haha) but i definetly love the game, the fantasy of progressing through the quidditch trials, flying around on a broom, the visual, and then just playing through the quidditch world cup to victory. definetly a fun game. they should make more.

Fs! Another thing I'll give credit to the developers for is they made it so that both the chaser and seeker segment had importance. You'll notice in this video that the world cup and housecup standings are solely determined by points amassed. Not wins or losses. If all you do is catch the snitch and not score goals, you may not have enough points to be number one. Kudos to the developers for that implementation.

This brings back so many memories NGL.

Thank you for reminding me of Chad Ludo Bagman! This video itched a nostalgic scratch

This was a big part of my childhood, I played a couple of the movie tie in but this was the game I could play with ease. The mechanics are easy though repetitive at times and my only real big grip is the world cup felt a bit endless there seemed to be no real way to track your progress world cup felt like it took forever despite some really good gameplay.

I used to play this one a lot with my brother. I miss him so much. He graduated and moved out and we haven't talked much since. 😢

I've played a lot of Quidditch World Cup in my time, and I've been quite critical of it, but this review helped me reign that in. Most of my criticism comes from the repetitive gameplay, but that's largely because you need to win the world cup with EVERY team in order to unlock all of the cards. When I compare this to other sports games that I love (like NBA Street) it's not too different. Get the ball, score some points, opponent gets the ball, steal it from them, and repeat. I suppose there could be better balance in this game. It's far too easy to steal the quaffle, and scoring is very easy too. There's still a lot of room for improvement, I think, but what this game does well it does really well. The animations, are awesome, and the detail that went into all of the different stadiums is pretty incredible too.

@coachmcguirk6297

Жыл бұрын

Could the same not be said for racing games, fighting games, FPS, etc... these genres aren't about exploration and discovery, they're about mastery. Counter Strike doesn't care if you have seen the map 1000 times already, it only cares whether you are improving at the game. That's kinda the whole point is that nothing changes, you as the player need to improve rather than your character getting stronger. You have seen everything tetris has to offer within the first 15 seconds of gameplay, but I wouldn't consider that a problem that it suffers from. Harry Potter quidditch suffered from a lack of depth is all, had there been 1000s of small things to hone and improve built into the game, it would have a competitive scene and a thriving player base still. A good example of another GameCube game from the same time that did that successfully even though you get the jist of the gameplay very quickly is super smash bros melee. It doesn't suffer from being the same game every time you boot it up, that fact is a boon to the gameplay because it has such incredible mechanical depth.

Now we need all the Lego Harry Potter games!

This was my favourite game growing up! I think it was one of the first games I bought on ps2, or something like that.

Quidditch World Cup was a great time growing up. I definitely preferred the Prisoner of Askaban game, but this was a great alternative if I wanted to scratch that Potter itch. One thing you didn't mention that does slightly bring down the game imo is that the only apparent difference between teams is the potency of their special moves. Some only score 1 goal whereas others score 2 or more - I believe the highest is 4 iirc? This means certeain teams are just better than others, which isn't great for balance. Also, personally, whilst I agree that Queerditch Marsh isn't spectacular looking compared to some of the stadiums, I believe that's the point. It's the humble beginnings of the sport, and as a massive fan of the world back in the day it was a wonderful surprise to see it brought to life here. All in all a fun little time. Though no, I don't think it's the best HP game. It's up there though.

rumor is that Legacy opted out of quidditch in fear of the comparisons to this legend.

I loved this game. This and SSX (specifically, SSX Tricky) were my games when I was a kid. I always thought a more modern approach to a quidditch game would actually be good. Different players with different agility, strength, or flying scores. Brooms that actually changed the pacing of the game etc.

This game is unironically the best sports game of the 2000s. Maybe even the best sports game ever, seeing since this genre transformed into a yearly new released gambling casino.

I remember playing it with friends and taking turns it was so nice and exiting!

welp time to get addicted to this again, thanks a lot.

It is a great game to play with friends . They really tried their best , they could use quidditch segment from already existing games and simply add chareceters but fortunatly they didn't . Each team is unique with special movies and original charcters . Seems like they really enjoyed developing the game or at least were worried about quality .
