Everyone looks like they made 7 Horcruxes in this game

Good to see that someone actually made a proper review of this game, instead of laughing at graphics and passing it off as a "critique".

I actually did a 100% run of this game just last week - I fucking love it, because it's harry potter and I'm nostalgic :')

Some things I'd like to point out: - The house points are somewhat useful, you need at least 300 (along with all Famous Witches and Wizards Cards) to get an alternate ending. - The Puffapod mechanic is used three times, not one. - The suits of armour attack the player as Peeves has enchanted them to do so. This explanation is given by an NPC in the Great Foyer.

This game was made by Argonaut, the original creators of Star Fox and Star Fox 2, so the best part of the game being the quidditch matches is no surprise to me.

I still don't understand why They Changed The it too Sorcerer's from Philosopher's

I absolutely love the first movies aura

I loved that you mentioned the slightly different continuities and universes of Harry Potter. You're not the only person who finds that interesting!

I envied my friend so much cuz he had a pc version of the game, and I had to play this crap instead on my ps1. From my modern perspective, I would say this game is not that bad. The pc version, of course, has better gameplay and graphics, but this one has better atmosphere; I was even scared to play this while my parents weren’t at home. I couldn’t enter the room with knights cuz I was frightened by the possibility of pissing my pants.

I'm a simple man. I see TGX release a video; I click.

That is the best review I've ever seen of this game. Really well done! The game has its flaws but I still love the ps1 Potter games. I spent hours playing them as a child and I still play through them like once a year for that sweet nostalgia. PS:Those mushrooms in the dungeons are called Puffapods :)

*THAT WAS GOOD* *EXCELLENT* *THAT WAS GOOD* *EXCELLENT*

I was really charmed by this game as a kid- the art, music, design, and as you say atmosphere- gives me all kinds of feels. I actually like the platforming and even the voice acting. I hope I can play it again

I have vague memories of playing the PC version of this as a kid, and the spell-learning bits, while still frustrating, were a lot less random. You basically had to draw the symbol for each spell five (I think?) times as assurately as possible while under a time limit. Which actually makes me wonder how the rest of the PC version would have compared to PS1.

I loved this game so much when it came out. I was desperate to play the PC version because it had better graphics and was a way different game but my late 90s pc could not support the graphical requirements so I had to settle for this version. I still enjoyed it because the first film had come out at this time and being a child growing up in UK, there was so much Harry Potter stuff being sold in shops, chocolate frogs and Bertie Botts beans. It made the game so much more magical.

The PC version was one of my favorite games of my childhood. It was the game to play at my daycare.

I always found The Mine Cart Challenge NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT!

Don't blame others for not liking this game but glad it is still in my life :) xD

Dude, are you okay? I hope you’re doing well. Will you return? If you do, I will watch. Despite what you’ve been trought, fight on!!!! You’ve got a fan in me.

Yeah, this game was something of a gate-keeper for me as a kid. It brought me in because I liked the Hairy Pooter movies, kept playing because the atmosphere was very pleasing, then promptly getting stuck on the first Broomstick training sequence. I ended up replaying the Hedwig portion of the game over and over again, because I genuinely loved playing it. Though, it was only 7 years afterwards that regained the interest to pick it off the shelf, get pass the training, then beating the game in... 4 days? 12 year old me then? Let's say that. It was then how much I've grown as a gamer (which is utterly meaningless irl)and what confidence it gave me to give things more opportunities in life, and I thank this game dearly for it.

Another PS1 game based on a movie Arganout (my spelling stinks) made was "The Emperor's New Groove".

You can see voldermort in the dungeon, if you go through the door at the top of stairs after first meeting peeves in the dungeon, he is on far ledge

I don't know, but I remember enjoying it as a kid. It had a certain charm to it that I can't explain

You brought back kirby right back at ya, you are a legend

Atmosphere in the 2 HP games for psx was thicc. It look janky nowadays, but it was legit magical in 2002.

I wonder how many people this video is going to trigger.

The reason why the narrator's voice stands out is problably because it's the guy that reads the UK audio book version. He's great!

Yeah the one great thing about the Harry Potter games has always been the atmosphere! It really feels like you’re at Hogwarts. Like you’re in a magical world.

Really good review and well presented. The storyline of this game is impossible to follow if you've never read the books or watched the film, which is super lazy. I feel sorry for anyone who played this before looking at what it was based on. I have fond memories of this game though. Your "British" accent impression was hilarious and sounded South African 😂

Yay! Another TGX video!

19:00 Harry's Arch Nemesis: Draco Malformed Do you plan on covering other games in the HP Series? I think I used to have some sequel or another. But I can't imagine there's much more to say about those that doesn't hold true for this game as well -- or at least not enough for its own fully-fledged review.

I actually feel that the Malfoy battle theme feels too threatening for a fight against against Malfoy.

OH HELL NO- PS1 version? Oh, I don't have any nostalgia for that. The PS1 potter games were pretty awkward, but the PS2 games? Damn, those felt good to play (...Except Goblet of Fire), especially since the first three were like Zelda-lite. They even accurately portrayed the absolute lack of safety regulations in Hogwarts. "What? You wanna learn a spell, you little shit? CRAWL INTO THE DARK DUNGEON AND FIGHT GARGOYLES! I wonder why our Student death rate is so high..."

The first game I played where the graphics were kinda poor was The Italian Job on ps1.

The Malfoy description from 18:51 is gold 😂

Did you know? This game sold 8 million copies on ps1 alone. It outsold Tomb raider!

Good review. Can't wait for the next one.

"Facial animation has at best 3 or 4 frames" Bro... a lot of ps1 games had no facial animation at all.

Im glad at least someone acknowledged how fucking hard part 3 of chess was. I never beat it as a kid and a year and a half ago I couldnt do it again without googling!

Guessing you're into Potter, you must have been born in "British" Columbia!

Props for using music from the Donkey Kong Country series for some parts of the video!

Those things to Throw at The Trolls are Puffapods

THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY WHEN YOU SAID BOTHER REPEATEDLY WHEN TALKING TO SNAPE

I once had a clay pot that I put all my hair from my haircuts in. Then one day I misplaced it. I have yet to find my Harry Pottery.... Love the Spyro music in there, btw

Now I’ve just got to buy this game and save that kitten lol

What is the name of the song in the background when ur talking

Flitch actually looks like Flitch did in The Movies

What Harry Potter OST is that one during 4:18

I’m not a Harry Potter fan but as an arganaut fan I definitely will try this. Even with it’s flaws it definitely looks to have the developers trademark charm

TGX, would you say that the graphics are on par with WCW Backstage Assault?

Claude was a mute in gta 3

True even as A Kid I always thought that The Graphics were Horrible

Would you mind comparing this game to the PC and PS2 versions? I really enjoyed this review and would love more Harry Potter game content

I loved the game as a kid and I know it has it's problems but still nostalgic for me as a 25 year old.

I mean, guns are very popular in Canada. Hunting is actually y’all’s most popular sport, even more than hockey. It’s just that unlike Americans you guys don’t shoot each other!

The last minute was my thought precisely, that I can take to face value.

This game and Chamber of Secrets on ps2 are my favourite Harry Potter games by far.

Why HAGRID went to The Pub instead of Helping Harry at Greengots SO THEY COULD DRAG THE GAME OUT FOR MORE HOURS OF GAMEPLAY!

It's Voldemort not Quirelldamort also The T in Voldemort isn't supposed to be pronounced according to J. K. Rowling but it doesn't make Him sound as Evil without The T being Pronounced

I'm curious to know why the UI seems to switch to French (?) during Quiddich matches. Is this a thing Canadian Playstations had to do back in the day or was your disc in just *that* bad of a shape?

I had a Chamber of Secrets game on GameCube as a kid that I played a bunch of. I found the Sorcerer's Stone GameCube game at a Half Price Books and bought it for shits and giggles. That shit was boring as hell. Everything from opening doors to grabbing objects took way too long, and it seems to share a voice cast with this game. Thankfully, the composer was the same, so it revels in a similar atmosphere and that glorious Hogwarts main theme. Oddly, the best HP game I played was probably the GBA Chamber of Secrets game, an isometric platformer I recall being quite decent. Now that I think about it, the Game Boy Color games were turn based RPGs. Don't know if they're any good, but that's not a bad way of converting the series spell reportoire to gameplay.

I had this game as a kid (still do) I never had a ps1 memory card as a kid. So I would try to beat it in 1 sitting but I would often get scared by the trolls. Then I got a memory card in 2016 and my god I did not enjoy it that much at all

Really Come on PEOPLE SPIDER-MAN CAME OUT ONE YEAR EARLIER AND THE GRAPHICS LOOK INCREDIBLE THE SAME THING WITH IT'S SEQUEL

Your British accent sounded like Ozzy Osbourne visiting Australia.

What does frying pan in the mush mean?

I played the PC, GBA and Game Boy Colour version of this game. I was a HUGE fan of Harry Potter growing up but I only read/saw the first four books and films and half of the fifth one before I lost interest and started to read the A Series of Unfortunate Events series. I wasn't that good at video games as a kid too. When I was 5 in the late 90's I couldn't beat the original Pokémon games (The closest I got was the Gary fight at the Elite Four) and I couldn't get past the Great Deku Tree. I was that pathetic

How tf can't you understand a British accent

Yaknow I have never played this game as far as I know Yet I remember having a dream when I was super young about the troll chase scene and at the end I reached the grand staircase and jumped off Upon hitting the ground I woke up but how is it I can have a dream about a game I had never played nor seen before at the time

No Thanks People We don't need Anymore Darth Vader's as Voice Actors

This was my first video game ever. I got it the same day as I got my PS1, and it honestly stressed me out so bad. I thought it was just bad at video games because some of it was so monotonous and some of it was downright hard! I didn’t play video games again until Animal Crossing on the Switch last year. Thanks Harry Potter and the Audacity of This Bitch. ❤️

I ALWAYS FOUND THE 3RD CHESS PUZZLE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT THE 2ND IS ALSO REALLY HARD!

Hey, are you gonna review spiderman ps4? Specialy seeing that game doesnt have anithyng from your old critics against insomniac games.

Planing to do the other Harry Potter Games ?

I have played Chamber of Secret's for the Gamecube not Philosopher(Sorcerer's) stone sadly

SNAPE IS TERRIFYING IN THIS GAME AND IT'S SEQUEL BUT HE WAS PROBABLY THE BEST ACTOR IN THIS GAME!

I’d say those graphics are average for a PS1 game.

betides the pathetic graphics, the one thing I do not like about this game is that Harry Potter himself is basically a crash bandicoot mute for the entire game. the only exception is when he's saying a password to get through a door or saying a spell. I'm sorry I just had to say it!!

It's not a bad game at all in my opinion, one of the best on the PS1, but I agree the minigames are way too hard.

I absolutely love it, and I found the art style kinda charming.

Daniel Radcliffe was Great in The First Movie The same thing with Rupert Grint and Everyone Else but They do get so much better in The Sequels

I have a better title for this review: Harry & Ron: The Gryffindor Legacy.

Why does nobody talk about the PC version tho'?

I HATED THE VAULT PUZZLES!

They totally ruined The Troll and Voldemort in The Game They weren't Scary at all

Oh man, this is such a legendary game with finnish dubs! 6/10! I want to cosplay PS1 Hagrid some day. Or PS1 Ron.

Argonaut hey, guys that made Star Fox, and Croc! Decent.

04:00 hey it came out on my birthday

wdym this game's a modern masterpiece, 8th wonder of the world

What's with the super noisy footage? Copyright strike avoidance?

Star Wars used to have that magic : '(

And much better than you would think. =)

If You think that Learning The Spells and using Them is Hard try Playing The Computer Game

I like The Second Play Station One Game Much better than The First One

harry potter i did not grow up with around my family cause i was not allowed to watch it but i kinda did with my friends all the time. i remember how huge it was at the time. i did not get into the books or movies till 2012 when i got deathly hallows part 2 on cable and i was hooked to the movies i knew i had to watch all of them. then my mom and i became huge potter fans. tho her show she loved back in the day was doctor who and i was so stoked for the new season and the new doctor but good god is it mostly un watchable i was so sad when i found out episode by episode how shit it is man jeez.

If You think The Camera is bad in this Game try playing Catwoman 2004 THE CONTROLS ARE GOD AWFUL THE GRAPHICS ARE TERRIBLE!

Avifors not Appleforks

This is a game that's so bad good. I love it.

Favorite PJO book?

this game is a masterpiece the 2nd game too

If I may say. The finnish dub is too so horrible and legendary among collectors here in Finland.
