Easily one of the best movie-based games I've played in a while Score: 8.4/10
User Rating: 8.5 | Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban XBOX
Based on the third Harry Potter movie, the Prisoner of Azkaban, this game ties in with the movie very well. It's a fun little adventure from start to finish, leaving you satisfied with a great Harry Potter game. The plot is based off of the movie's: It's Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts and Sirius Black, who escaped from Azkaban, is after Harry. The voice work is very well done for the most part, along with the actual sound during gameplay. Adding to the audio is the visuals, which look pretty good for a game made in 2004. Character models actually look somewhat like themselves. The gameplay is very fun. There are a variety of different spells to cast and places to explore. Despite being a short game, it's fun while it lasts. There are a few mini-games added to keep you interested, and I enjoyed dueling 3 on 3 with others. Overall, this is a great action adventure title for anyone who's interested in Harry Potter.
