An iBOCK3 Review
Game Boy Color; the little handheld system that could--- and did. GB and GBC were the two first portable systems to have successful sales unit-wise and game-wise.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was one of the last games to be created for the Game Boy.
As a movie game, this game finally broke the mold and made movie games seem to have hope. With its unique Role-Playing game engine--- Yes, it's the first Movie Game to be a full-fledged RPG--- it makes the game lengthy without having that "movie game" repetitive vibe to it.
CHARACTERS
This game revolves around Dobby, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and the famous Harry Potter. It's another year at Hogwarts and it ISN'T boring.
GAME PLAY
Mini-games, battles, spell-wielding, collectible cards, bonus quests--- this little game packs a powerful punch.
There's a lot of things to do in this game seeing as it's below 2 megabytes in size--- which is an amazing feat.
Every battle in the game is fun because it doesn't seem like you're TASKED to do it. That's a plus seeing as it's a movie game and an RPG.
Mini Games include Quidditch, dancing, pixie-catching, and many more.
GRAPHICS
Have you played a Game Boy Advance game where the characters only have a few universal animations that can be repeated? And you know how they don't really move their arms with enthusiasm in battle? In this little Game Boy Color game the characters move smoothly and move as realistic as they can for a little hand held system.
However the graphics can hurt your eyes if you're not a retro gamer... Because they're not amazing.
CONTENT
This tiny cartridge sports a ton of content, so much content for a little game boy pak that it almost seems like full console title. It's epic in size for such a small handheld game.
However, if you're not a fan of Harry Potter, then you won't like it.
It's for fans and curious gamers alike, and it's got a charming little story. It's really fun if you're playing it on a rainy weekend and are stuck in the house, or you can enjoy it if you like to reminisce.
Here's the rating!
Summary: This game is charming and very faithful to the novel. It's almost as if J.K. Rowling herself made it with her own two hands. Masterful for a movie game and great for one based on a novel.
It's only $3, too, so why miss out on the opportunity for such a great game?
