Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire for the
PlayStation Portable (PSP) was shown at the Electronic Entertainment
Expo (E3) to waiting fans of the Harry Potter phenomenon, in
its present state I would actually consider it to be a bit of a
disappointment.
The
level which I played was set where the book started at the Quidditch
world tournament, I could tell with the tents, where it all goes
awry and Voldemorts followers start causing chaos.
You
play as Harry and have two other characters with you, following you
with on-screen avatars. Unfortunately the characters appear so small
on the screen I often couldn’t tell who was who. The screen was
also very dark, ok the level I played happened at night, but things
were quite indistinguishable and I felt I should be squinting at the
screen (it didn’t help) which didn’t make towards a decent
gaming experience, as so with the frustrating camera system, which
seemed to find you eventually but it doesn’t
seem to follow your movements at best. One can only hope these
issues will be rectified for final presentation of the game.
The
button configuration was confusing to say the least. Pressing a
button to perform a certain action may result in something
completely different on a second press. I would like to try playing
this game again at some point, just because I feel the version shown
in its current state needed a
lot of work to it and don’t feel it gave justice to what may
turn out in the finished title.
