The Harry Potter Games -- Which Versions to Play

[Pez]

Era, there were a ton of different Harry Potter games back in the day. Which ones were the best for each film/book?

I was thinking of returning to these, but only want to play one version of each.

The GBC games were great turn based RPGs.
Think there were only ones for Philosophers Stone and Chamber of Secrets though.

None, play games based on the works of someone who isn't spreading hate

 

[Turnscr3w]

No

There's a Lego collection for all the years but it is an older Lego game so could be with bugs and reckon the one that is to be released this year will be the better even though it stands more as a spin-off.

I mean, she's not getting any revenue off years old games. I still fucking hate her but there are some enjoyable HP games, like 1 and 2 for the GBC which are little RPGs. 1 and 2 for PS1 are also enjoyable.

Lego games are solid, if you like lego games that is

1 and 2 for PS1 and PS2(IIRC they were different versions) were really fun. 3 for PS2 was okay, and so was 5.

While I don't think there are any older HP games on sale in a way that will benefit JK, there are better games out there anyway so you might as well skip them

Yeah, there's no way this thread was made in good faith.

The KnowWonder PC trilogy is really good. They are the sort of "third person platformer built on an FPS engine" that was pretty popular back in the day. The second one especially has a really good explorable Hogwarts.

But between the J.K. Rowling shit that has been going on for years and the games' fantastic soundtracks being done by Jeremy Soule, it's hard to fault anyone who is unwilling to experience them.

They have a space on my shelf and I generally prefer to separate art from the artist, so it's fine for me, but if anyone's interested in picking them up, just consider the fact that there are some horrid people attached to these games.

yes, first three games ON PC are the best

if you want more, you can also check out the console versions of these (PS2 gen). they are completely different, have fancy graphics and explorable Hogwarts, but aren't as good in terms of gameplay (you don't even have a dedicated jump button).

the next and last good one appears to be the one for Order of the Phoenix, but I've never played it
