I don’t know who in the right mind would give this game less than 10. it was AMAZING 2002. Yeah, it had so many bugs. So like most games back then, it was a part of experience

I have some nostalgia for this, as a kid I thought it was a great game. Flying around hogwarts on the broomstick was awesome. As an adult though this game is so rough to play lol the controls are abysmal. I know it's a ps2 game but there are some ps2 and even ps1 games that I can still play and enjoy and this isn't one of them. Jeremy Soule's music is phenomenal in this game though.

I have no idea if this game is good, I meant to review the movie. So if this isn't an accurate reflection I'm not sorry

J'en ai vu des purges mais alors celle là... Par tous les saints le jeu se joue principalement sur émulateur ce qui veut dire que pour souffrir il faut le vouloir mais comment par la barbe de merlin il peut avoir un score de 71 alors qu'il pue objectivement la merde ? Il est vide sans le moindre intérêt, on spam les allez retours chiant au possible dans un château ultra grand et vide. La narration est aux fraises à croire que Disney a écrit le script. Hallucinant, le premier du nom techniquement plus pourrave avait plus d’intérêt que ce serpent noyé dans une chambre tout autant submergé que le Titanic, si ce n'est plus. On touche le fond, les abysses et le fun coule dans une implosion de frustration issus de notre frustration créant un océan de larme. Vous voulez souffrir ou gâcher vos souvenir d'enfance ? Rejouez a ce jeu et vous aurez une idée de ce que représente une session de BDSM non consentie.

The secret is: it was voldemort all along! A surprisingly strong follow up to the playstation 1 game, expanding hogwarts and the spells you can learn whilst having far superior character models and graphics thanks to the new ps2 hardware. You can actually lose the house cup in this game and quidditch feels like it's own thing in this game as apposed to flying through hoops. Harry potter snd the chamber of secrets for thenplaystation 2 also has the return of everyone's favourite spell, flippendo.

Better then a PC game. The graphic at that time was pretty nice. Finished game on the PS2 emulator on android

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is an enchanting adventure game that takes you through the iconic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The game follows the storyline of the second book in the series, where Harry Potter and his friends face the mysterious and dangerous Chamber of Secrets. The game's graphics and sound design are impressive, immersing you in the magical world of Hogwarts. The characters' voices are spot on, and the game's music perfectly captures the whimsical and adventurous tone of the story. The gameplay is a mix of puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat, and it is well-executed. The puzzles are challenging but not overly difficult, and they keep the game interesting and engaging. The combat mechanics are simple, but they get the job done. One of the game's biggest strengths is the attention to detail put into the environment. Every nook and cranny of Hogwarts is beautifully crafted and bursting with secrets to discover. The game also features a robust collectibles system, which adds to the replay value. However, the game does have some flaws. The camera angles can be frustrating at times, and the loading times are a bit long. Also, some of the side missions feel repetitive and add little to the overall story. Overall, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a fantastic adventure game that is sure to delight fans of the series. Despite its flaws, it offers a charming and immersive journey through Hogwarts that will keep you captivated from start to finish.

A big request to the developers (if they still remain) to make a Russian translation of the game (text and voice-over)! I really like the game, but it's very uncomfortable to play without Russian translation.

What do you get when you combine fighting-against-the-controls style difficulty with easy-to-cheat-by-spamming-X style gameplay? One of the most pathetic, awfully designed Potter games there are. Just wretched.

Compared to the "Philosophers's Stone" for PS2, this one has definitely improved gameplay. Harry Potter fans will most probably enjoy it but both "Philosopher's Stone" and "Chamber of Sercrets" have a mess of a story line. Developers shortened it and skipped the parts that makes this game very difficult to follow if you haven't read the books.

The atmosphere is the best thing about this game, but the rest is just a very mediocre game. The gameplay and spells are soooo situational some of them feel extremley usless(unlike flipendo which is really overused) the map is really big but it feels really empty, there isn't much to discover and the story is a mess. It's a harmless but bad game.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a game that tends to be left by the wayside in discussions about great movie licensed games. This is fairly unfortunate given the fact that it's actually quite excellent and despite being a tie-in to a film it manages to feel like its own entity, borrowing content from both the film and the book the film is based on. The cartoonish graphics and playful atmosphere really makes this title feel distinct from its source material. Gameplay-wise you're given a lot to do and a lot of variety. Hogwarts is more or less fully explorable, there are secrets to be found, side missions to complete and items to collect and the school's grounds feel open and expansive and even years later it's fun just to explore and play around in it. The story missions tend to be more action based, the game's combat and spell systems are perfectly serviceable but in most parts of the game outside the story they take an appropriate backseat to exploration. Story missions also often include a surprising amount of stealth-centered gameplay and although it's no Metal Gear Solid, it's fun and rewarding and adds a degree of challenge and variety to the game. There are some light puzzles as well, though they aren't particularity challenging they effectively shake things up from time to time. Quidditch matches happen occasionally throughout the game as well and they offer a fun departure from the regular gameplay and flying with your broomstick around the grounds is a really fun feature that makes exploration more engaging and rewarding. Ultimately this is a really great gem in the PS2's library and fans of Harry Potter as well as fans of more open-ended gameplay with a fun fantasy theme will find a lot of enjoyment here, there's also a great amount of secrets and items for completionists to sink their teeth into. I still maintain that this is the very best Harry Potter video game and still feels fresh and fun 15 years after its initial release.

Empiezo valorando la serie potteresca videojueguil, en este caso toca "Potter y la cámara secreta" donde deberá cursar su segundo año esta vez. El videojuego en sí deja un sabor de boca de "nostamal" con cosas negativas, como a la hora de conjurar hechizos algo torpes, pero por lo menos valoran la habilidad del jugador al poder aumentar su potencia debiendo dominar los tiempos y con penalización incluida si sale rana, cosa que hecho en falta en los demás juegos de este encantador mago. Los gráficos son buenos teniendo en cuenta la época (una cuyo los fps y el HD no importaban), tampoco los youtubers y demás ralea... ya paro que me emociono.

My actual score is 7.9/10. The game is good not just for a licensed game, but a video game in general. The graphics are great, the music is terryifing like it should be, the story isn´t bad. And the gameplay is fun. Though the `ps2 has more flaws than the GC and Xbox versions. It has long loading times, controls worse, and looks duller so I give the Gamecube versión an 8/10 and the Xbox a 8.2/10. But the ps2 versión is still good. A game I could recommend to anyone, not just Harry Potter fans.

Decent adventure with some frustrating platforming and short length. Hogwards seems much bigger than it actually is and exploration isn't satisfying. A few fun levels where you learn and master your spells but they also don't have a final dungeon to fully test you with all your spells. Right when progression his getting it's stride the final disappointing boos happens and it's over. The shining spots are the house points which actually matter and they can be earned and lost optionally. So winning the house cup at the end of the game is optional and must be earned. The collectibles are also fun with them being 100 hundred wizard cards with a simple illustrations and a small sentences of who they are. The biggest flaws are the load times. Dear good they are long and consistent. 1/5 of my playtime was probably load times. the stealth sections will also angry some as getting caught actually costs you 5 house points which can quickly go up.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Not just a great licensed game, but a great game on its own. Each part of the game is fun to play and even replay. Going in the different classes to get new spells never gets boring and neither does exploring the open world. 9.5/10 Probably my favourite movie licensed game I've ever played.

this game is actually one of the best games based on a movie. It delivers well in making you feel like you are in the harry potter universe, and as far as content, there is tons to explore in the halls and Hogwarts castle. I really enjoy this game, maybe more than I should. and also, this game does an awesome job at making fun and challenging puzzles. the controls and what not can be somewhat clunky, but if you enjoy harry potter, you will probably like the game too. the third game is probably my favorite, and the rest after it kind of ****.

It's a great game, I love it. Governs climate, humor and of course magic. We can cast spells, potions and fight weigh the known from books and movies characters. Glad that the game is designed not only for children. You have to play it in the end is a real miracle - dominate the great visuals, gameplay, music and .. everything! I recommend!

The Harry Potter movies have not gotten the treatment they deserve the world of video games. Both Deathly Hallow games were overwhelming failures, and the rest of the series seems to be characterized by subpar gameplay and an overall mediocre experience. That is, except for one. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the best Harry Potter game ever made, as well as possibly one of the greatest movie licensed games ever produced. But how could a video game series that seemed to have no ambition or critical success produce this PS2 masterpiece? For starters, the game plays like Zelda. You target object to and enemies with a button and then pick one of three spells to cast, with a grand total of around ten that can be swapped interchangeably. Using a Zelda formula is a fantastic idea and pays off when Harry is exploring Hogwarts and conquering dungeons that lie within certain classes. Unlike other games in the series, Chamber of Secrets has great gameplay and a fluid control system. In addition, the castle is, for an early 2000s game, enormous. This is the definitive video game Hogwarts, featuring all seven floors with secret passages, flying books, and an endless amount of secrets. The magical world feels alive just like the movie and there's always something to do when you're exploring the castle for quest items or lost belongings of your fellow Gryffindors. Even the dungeons are incorporated nicely, putting a Harry Potter spin on a typical Zelda level, lending itself to some engaging spell fighting (even though it is kind of horrific to think that a school forces children to go through a deadly catacombs full of evil creatures, gigantic spiked balls, and pits of fire just to complete a 2nd grade class). I also loved how detailed the game was, from complete texts to read in the library to 101 wizard cards to collect and trade, allowing for a lot of replayabilty once the main storyline is finally completed. Couple this all with some colorful graphics, a beautiful soundtrack, and an amazing sense of magical realism, and you have yourself a stellar experience. However, there are some flaws spread throughout the game but don't hinder the experience too much. For instance, jumping feels extremely awkward when in the middle of a dungeon. Like Zelda, when you reach the edge of a platform you automatically leap in that direction. However, this becomes frustrating when you're trying to get your bearings in a tight room and you end up falling from a ledge to either a health-depleting drop or back to the start of the level, forcing you to start all over again. In addition, there are so many loading screens in this game that it almost takes you out of the amazing Hogwarts atmosphere. I promise you that you will be met with a loading screen after you open a maximum of two doors in succession. I know it's a limitation of early PS2 technology, but it ruins the feeling of being a wizard in J.K. Rowling's universe. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a fantastic game that should serve as a benchmark for all movie-licensed games to come. The atmosphere is incredible, the gameplay is fun and relevant to the magical world, and every aspect of the game is almost perfect. Despite a few minor complaints, this game will forever be one of my PS2 classics, and is a must buy for anyone looking to relive that sense of nostalgia that only a good Harry Potter game can provide. 9.2/10 Follow me on twitter. @cbeers2513

Well, this is the worst console version of the game. The Xbox/Gamecube version has better controls, better targeting system, better graphics, and better voice acting. This one is okay, but I definitely recommend that you play the Xbox/Gamecube version instead.

A disappointment compared to the PC version of the game. Still somewhat worthwhile, but there's really no point in getting it when the PC game is also available.
