Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets [NTSC-U] [1.59GB]*

[falinxx]

Offering a polished mix of strong graphics and solid gameplay, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a marked improvement over its predecessor.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets follows a pretty standard linear structure that suits the story well. The action is broken up into daylong increments. You'll be given objectives to complete at the start of each day, ranging from clearing gnomes out of a garden to attending class and learning a spell. You'll find that your to-do list will grow as you complete tasks, resulting in some long, adventure-filled days. While the game does take some dramatic license, fans of the movie and book will be pleased to be able to participate in many of the key action sequences integral to the story. Your time in the game will be nicely balanced between exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat. In addition to the main set of objectives you'll have to complete to progress through the game, you'll also find a meaty selection of minigames you can play, such as Quidditch, assorted gnome-centric diversions, broomstick races, and side quests to track down collectible wizard cards.

While the game offers a solid amount of gameplay variety, controlling Harry really isn't much of a problem, thanks to the game's accessible control scheme. You'll move Harry with the left analog stick and use the A button for a variety of context-sensitive actions. The B, X, and Y buttons can each have a spell assigned to them. Spellcasting has actually been given a twist to keep you on your toes when wielding Harry's magic. While you can simply cast a spell by pressing its assigned button, if you hold the button down and release it at the appropriate time, you'll be able to cast a "perfect" spell, which is usually far more powerful than a standard one. The select button calls up your remembral, which lists your tasks for that day and lets you examine your inventory of items. The left trigger centers the camera behind Harry and locks on to enemies, while the right analog stick switches you to a free-look mode. Although the game lacks a jump button, Harry automatically leaps when running toward a gap and will even catch ledges if possible. You'll also be able to shimmy against walls in stealth sequences, like in Metal Gear Solid 2, and fly a broom when needed.

In the end, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a marked improvement over the last Harry Potter game--it has a stronger game design and a lot more polish. The game's impressive visuals on the Xbox coupled with its rich gameplay definitely make it one of the better platform games on the system. Xbox owners looking for a solid platform experience will want to check out the game.
