But it does show a certain "rough-around-the-edges" appearance, with strange, flicker effects for fire, explosions, and magical effects, and the scrolling isn't quite as quick or fluid as it could have been the camera has to chug around to follow Harry around.
#HARRY POTTER CHAMBER OF SECRETS PC GAME FIX MOVIE#
Chamber of Secret's graphic engine does its job pretty well with detailed artwork and decent renderings of all the familiar locations established in the movie and books. The controls can also be switched so that the up/down/left/right points on the D-pad are the on-screen, diagonal equivalent, so no worries there.Ībout 99% of the game takes place in a 3/4, isometric perspective, giving the game a more detailed look than the GBA version of Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. And besides, Harry's indestructible.even if you do take one too many hits, Harry will just restart at the closest save point in the area. The few-and-far-between platform levels don't suffer from the isometric perspective.jumping from platform to platform requires a confident control over the diagonal positions on the D-pad, but not once did I goof up a jump. The action portions are a little better, with decent auto-aiming controls on the standard Flipendo attack spell so players aren't fumbling over trying to hit an enemy on an awkward angle. If you see a switchblock on the floor, for example, there's always a cinder block elsewhere in the room to put there. After a few tasks grabbing certain items from Diagon Alley, it's off to Hogwarts where the rest of the story unfolds.Ĭhamber of Secrets is more of a "task" game than an "puzzle" game, as most of the puzzles in the different areas of Hogwarts are so straightforward and simple that it's just a matter of performing the obvious. Early in the game players will have to get some cash from Harry's vault at Gringotts Bank, which is a good first lesson in what to expect from the action and puzzles deeper into the game. The game actually doesn't start for the player until his accidental trip to Knock-turn Alley through the use of magical floo powder at the Weasley's place.
But all is not well, as he's warned by a house elf that he should not return to school because something terrible will happen to him if he does. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets basically puts players in the role of the powerful wizard-to-be as he returns to Hogwarts wizard school for his second year.
