- Throwing away the tried and tested adventuring style of the previous games, EA took Goblet of Fire in a new direction, but was it any good? ... :)

If you played as Hermione, youâre gay now đ
or trans đłïžâđ
True, I can attest to that. I just felt like a baddie playing as Hermione
I came here for a good time and honestly I feel so attacked
Nah because she's my crush đ„°
Omg this is so accurate njlkslç,njwhh
Nothing hurt me more growing up then picking this game up when it first came out. I saved my money and picked it up expecting it to be like the first 3 games. This game couldâve been absolutely incredible if they took the Goblet of Fire story and made it in the same style of the first 3. I still hate this game to this day and have never beaten it.
I remember the disappointment of getting this for christmas and it being nothing like the 3 games prior to it :(
Yeah I know this pain.
Dude youâre spot on
Yeaah I was the same :D The worst part was, that I could not speak English at the time, so I tried really hard to set it to "normal" view mode as the previous ones. Never understood the cards, and could not get what is this combo thing. I was very angry to press buttons so many times, but had fun anyway.
This was a big disappointment
@@misikeggg1 What language do you speak? I always remembered EA Games having loads of different language options in their games. They still do.
3:14 I think Harry and Hermione need to stage an intervention for Ron's bean addiction. It's going to be the end of him.
"Your face looks like beans, Harry..."
"RON! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HARRY?! I'M CALLING THE POLICE!"
7:57 I never realized until now after all these years. It's a joke that you'd get if you watch the movie before playing. Rita tried to make Harry and Hermione into a couple with Victor to make the rumor of a love triangle. In the book I think it was partly because Rita hated Hermione.. or something
they clearly tried to do something like EA's Lord of the Rings games from 2002 and 2003, but unfortunately the movie isn't about combat and big wars, it's about exploration. They did try to emphasize exploration with the Tri-Wizard shields but it didn't work out. Fortunately they did learn from this mistake and delivered a wonderful exploratory game in Order of the Phoenix in 2007. I actually have a lot of good memories playing this game in multiplayer, but as a single player experience, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. EDIT: also, Ron always going on about beans still makes me laugh
YES I was thinking it was trying to be similar to the lord of the rings PS2 games! I haven't played those in agesss
Why would you want local co-op in _this_ game? And besides, who'd want to go through the effort of needing Hamachi or servers like it were the previous three Harry Potter games? Goblet of Fire switches from the Unreal Engine to something else, namely RenderWare (which admittedly was used well in Prisoner of Azkaban's home console adaptation).
It'd be much easier to add the co-op mode to the first two, kind of.
imo Order of the Phoenix was the most boring HP game I ever played
I remember playing this game a lot when I was growing up and hating it. Just realised watching this video that I never even made it past the second level. I loved the 2nd and 3rd PC games and I had Order of the Phoenix for Nintendo DS and loved that, they bring back the castle exploring!
I played this game and hated it. I wanted it to be something similar to first 3 games.
I hated this game so much after playing the first 3. I bought it on the Gamecube expecting something similar to 1-3, imagine my disappointment.
I've never finished this one. I got stuck in the maze level. I didn't know how to deal with those giant fire crab-like things without Ron and Hermione.
From the exploration perspective, Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince get better. I'd really love to see your reviews for them as well. Good luck with your channel!
Yeah but stuff from 1,2,3 is so much better than stuff from the Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince. You collect rewards like cards, beans, and other sweets. And in Order its fixing Hogwarts and getting XP. In Half Blood Prince collecting shields. But yes exploration around movie Hogwarts is awesome.
I'm hoping Hogwarts Legacy catches the same magical exploration the early HP PC games give!
@@PhilOfGlimmer I hope that this game will be packed with detail as games like Skyrim or Witcher
I wish that in Harry Potter games we saw more on lessons in Hogwarts for example. But studio was hurrying towards a premiere so I doubt how well they were tested
Order of the Phoenix is definitely better, although I kinda missed the more colorful and charming atmosphere of the first 3 games. OttP is more gray and even collectibles aren't that much fun. Also the controls were kinda bad, not unplayable but definitely something to get used to.
I got this game and tried to play it when it came out... I was completely and utterly lost the entire time and I don't think I ever made it past the greenhouse. I gave up. I tried to play it again a couple years ago to see if age and development as a gamer would have improved the experience... it did not. I didn't even make it to the Portkey that time before shutting off and uninstalling it. I hated it and never got another HP PC game. I'll stick with the first three!
I remember playing this with my brother as a kid and it was a lot of fun. Though I seemingly recall never being able to figure out some stuff or not being able to access some areas that I thought should be accessible. I do know that we spent a long time trying to figure out how to make progress in the prefects bathroom.
Moody: "Ah yes, I think you'll find this next creature "interesting."
Ron: "Interesting? INTERESTING? There's no way that can be good."
This game is so forgettable I can't remember whether I played it or not. The lily pads are the only thing I remember about the game, so I think I played it once. No clue though.
I remember salamanders in this game. And that's about it.
I remember my mom putting it on layaway for me... I was crazy about the first 3. I took such special care of the 3rd game. I don't remember a single second of this 4th game... I remember getting it, I remember going to play it, but I literally don't remember ANYTHING else. I know I didn't get more than an hour in.
Haha the only good thing I remember from this one is playing co-op and trying to crush each other with boulders đ
The only thing I know about this game other than the fact that it's kind of bullshit, is that Ron talking about beans is such a great meme
I played this game as a kid long before seeing Goblet of Fire and I didn't speak English at the time. I had NO IDEA what was going on, but it was fun... except the moth thingies in the greenhouse...
Those "vampyr mosps" were so irritating.Man, the just get in your way and stop you from doing your task.
the game was exactly the same on the psp as the pc if that tells you anything abt this game
They cut the Green house level on the psp version.
I found your channel while searching for clips of my favorite of the HP PC games, the Chamber of Secrets...and then ended up binge watching all your Harry Potter game reviews ! :D Your vids are amazing!! Love your editing style, the way you review & you have some great comedic timing. This really satisfied my nostalgia for these games. Keep up the great work.
I played all the HP games up to Order of the Phoenix, and would have to say Goblet of Fire was my least favorite. As a kid the most enjoyable part about these games was getting to explore the grounds of Hogwarts, unlocking mysteries & solving puzzles of sorts along the way. GoF was gloomy, creepy, lacked exploration of an open world and had some really difficult mechanics for me as a kid. Especially when I was playing alone trying to get those AI to cooperate and cast the spells with me đ.
Although I do think GoF was a step down in the franchise, I urge you to check out the next installation in the series, the Order of the Phoenix. I remember Order of the Phoenix being a step up in quality and way more memorable to me than GoF as they once again added castle exploration & secrets that you could collect, this time on a larger scale than ever before. You can access pretty much any part of Hogwarts imaginable with great accuracy to what they show in the films and it makes the game very immersive. Order of the Phoenix was kind of like the best of both worlds for me, bringing together the best parts of their new game design with the most beloved features of the older ones. I highly recommend you check out the Order of the Phoenix if you're bored! (of course nothing can beat the original trio of games tho ! )
B E A N S!
You should review the rest of the HP games, Order of Phoenix was pretty good imo
I have very fond memories of this game, especially of the artwork and music. Though I suppose I would have less patience with having to repeat the levels over and over if I tried to replay it now.
As a child, those wasps that suddenly showed up in herbology level because of the camera would scare me, and beat the shit out of me. I HATED this game.
Just like Chronicles of Narnia, you can join the adventure with your friend or sibling. With your loved one in Goblet of Fire as a third wheel in your wheel barow of fun. Perfect to spend time together with someone who loves franchise just like you do
I remember reading gaming magazines at the time prior to this games release. They were hyping up how this would be the first game to use to movie actors likenesses and it would be co op. The screenshots blew my mind. Like many others I was really disappointed by the change of gameplay, also turns out the graphics aged worse. This to me is when the harry potter games became bad movie games, I think of 1-3 more book based games so they avoid the bad movie game curse. If that makes sense
When I played this game, I had two overlapping screens. ie 2 harries, 2 everybody and everything. No idea how that happened and no idea how to fix it. The dragon level was so confusing cause of this. Needless to say I finished it and was awarded the Nobel prize for pro gamer
This game was SUFFERING, especially because I was poor when I got it, so I had to 100% it just to have something to do for my money's worth.
I remember getting this game as a kid and being really angry that there was no exploration of the castle or open world. I also remember that I tried looking for a open world version of the game in the menu becuase I just couldn't believe that the game was all individual levels. I thought I was playing mini-games and not the actual game hahah.
Man i played this when I was 7 years old, I struggled too much to reach the Voldemortâs level... it took me like 3 months to finish... & every single time I reached another level, it felt like a huge achievement. + My favorite part is the Black Lake level, stunning how the âUnderwater Worldâ moves.
u finished this???? i could never get past the 4th or 5th level
And this was the point I quit Potter-games until the Lego ones were released. Such a *HUGE* disappointment! We all loved CoS, why not learn from that?
Im never gonna play this again BUT I had such a blast with this game together with my little brother, i loved the locations and we made it fun together by goofing around, this game is as special to me as for others the first game
I'm replaying all the film pc ports leading up to Hogworts Legacy. This game consistently crashed loading the third stage no matter what I tried . No big loss
13:10 why does Harry sound like Cedric while Cedric sounds like Harry?
I played this game on the original Xbox when I was in sixth grade. I was extremely disappointed with it and I thought the potential was wasted. I had way more fun with the first three movie games on PC and original Xbox because they let me explore the castle and do various activities.
As much as I loved playing the original 3 at home, the 4th game was available on a PC at my school. And we all shared a save.
Yes, it's tremendously fun to walk around the castle, but this level selection menu was a godsend for us. Because we could pick up wherever each of us had left off.
At 7:45, me and my sister always used to hear that too and say it was the Irkling (idk if that's spelt right) Queen
Dude... you have the best reviews... love your channel! I found it yday, and binged ALL vids...you def need more subs... quality 10000000000000000/10
Oh, this is one of the games I actually have some memories about. But that's because it is meant to be played together (best with 3 players). The graphics can be quite buggy, so exploring and playing around with it was great fun (e.g. when done right, you don't need to know the growing spell to cross lilypads, you can jump to high places etc.). Also, it came out at a time where a friend of mine started to get into modding, so I have memories about the modded game. A real shame they didn't keep the multiplayer mode later (in open world).
I remember getting a demo for the game, played it mostly to chuck rocks at Ron because I loved the physics of knocking him over.
I couldn't fathom that they'd make the game completely instanced and linear, with no free roaming, so imagine my shock and sadness at 8 years old when I bought it. I played it one time, finished the first two levels, closed the game and never played it ever again.
I canât get over âFlipendo my drag!â đ
I had the ps2 version and while being disappointed that it wasnt like the previous ones, it was a nice couch coop title.
Iâm surprised somebody hasnât tried to make a goblet of fire game in the style of the first three though mods yet.
From what I saw, HP modding community is rather small and mostly focused on creating custom levels and restoring unused content.
oh god going back into the older levels and getting all the damn shields was so annoying
the card system was pretty cool tho
the game isn't telling you on the PC version that its even playable with more than one player
Man, I remember getting this game to work was a pain, because I don't think my PC had the keys required to actually get past the start of the game. When I finally did, oh surprise, it's nothing like the others. I remember enjoying the greenhouse level quite a bit, I liked Herbivicus and the level design, but I don't think I even got to the second trial before dropping the game.
I really, really enjoyed your Harry Potter reviews! I hope there's more to come! In the meantime I'll leave a sub :)
I enjoy the games you review. If you played it I would love your thoughts on medieval for the ps1.
A small bit of constructive crisism when you speak it very much feels like you are reading from a document. feels a bit too scripted but for a new youtuber I am very impressed with how well put together your videos are. Great job cant wait to see more
I've never actually played MediEvil, was one I'd always wanted to try though! (Although atm I'm just playing games I can get directly for PC as it's a lot easier but if I was to branch out it would be a contender!)
Thanks for your criticism also, that's useful to know, definitely will try to be more animated with my voice when doing the voiceovers in the future! â€ïž
I always though this one had the better level design of all classy hp games... sadly it lacked a lot on story and Hogwarts free exploration :(
i loved playing this as a kid on the ps2 :) i always chose Ron when i could
I had this on both GBA and PC as a kid and Iâd have to say itâs the only time an HP game was better on the GBA than PC
I just wanna say that i can really tell you love the COS game above the rest. That's kinda the feeling I have for the COS movie above the rest of the HP movies, let me give an explanation: Chris Columbus was the director who kept the movies most like the books. So HP1 was great, but COS was even better, it was still like the book and it was upgraded to an even better movie, the actors evolved as well in the second movie adding to why it was better. That is why I like it above all other HP films đđ
Man I remember not liking this game even as a kid but I had to co-op it because my older brother got it.
For Order of the Phoenix you should try the Wii version that has different movements for all the spells. It's at least something different.
Yeah I saw that! I started the PC version and it was so clearly designed for movement controls. Unfortunately the PC version has a crashing bug at a certain location so I didn't get very far but I will do an emulated version at some point!
I got the PC version for Christmas and installed it on a Sony Vaio laptop from around that time.
For some reason the game had the worst input lag I've ever experienced in a video game, which is weird because the game itself was running at a decent framerate.
My parents gave my sister a PSP with the respective version of the game that same Christmas and we were very dissapointed that it was the same game but with worse graphics but I could actually control it this time.
Then a year later my parents bought me the GBA version when it was going on clearance.
That version was actually a very good game and was the version I should have asked for from the start.
I used to played the game boy advance version a long time ago and as of right now I play the ps2 version like all the Harry Potter games and other ps2 games I still play them to this day...
Goblet of Fire in my opinion is like an arcade style of a Harry Potter game without a time limit till game over...
3:49
If anyone else played Pathologic 2 that dude voiced one of the pantomime demon birds.
I hate the controls
I never made it past the first event of the Triwizard Tournament. That damn dragon burnt me to a crisp over and over. I remember screaming and crying it was so frustrating. I was like 7
Im so glad you made these videos, chamber of secrets was absolutely fantastic! Just watching these videos I got a warm glow! Keep up the good work man! Great videos!
Why do they ALWAYS have to change things that work WELL?
Your reviews just keep getting better and better. I also loved the Drag Race references. Gaymers unite! â€đâđ
This game was great.
It made a real change from the open world ones which, really, were pretty hollow. And we mostly only got to explore the castle. Here, we got all sorts of locations normally unavailable, and it was less repetitive in terms of gameplay.
I'm hoping Hogwarts Legacy, with much greater development time and the added power of newer tech, will be the open world Hogwarts game that should always have been.
Hermione in books and movies: *smartest person in the trio, knows many spells and use them perfectly*
Hermione in-game: 14:33
I remember getting this game. It didn't take long for me to be disappointed. At first I thought it was limitations from the GameCube but no, literally all versions of the game are like this. Everything that I loved about the games prior to this one are all gone.
This game should be thrown in the same mirror just like the Sisters of Fate in GOW2, being smashed and erased from existence.
I never played this one. Thus far, I had played 1 through 3, most of 5 and 7 part 1. I recently got ahold of the 4th one and was so excited. I thought it would be as exciting as the 5th one. I was like.... Wtf???????
Needless to say, I never thought I would be disappointed by anything Harry Potter that came out in the 2000s.
Man, these videos are a trip down memory lane. Can't wait for you to review 5 and 6 ha ha ha, I promise they're better than this one.
Ron yelling âbeansâ makes this game more bearable
I feel like I was one of the only people who liked the action style of the game. I collected everything with the help of one buddy. This is definitely the most hated game out of them, it seems. đ€Ł 5 and 6 were perfect though.
As someone that absolutely love the first 3 games to death, I hate this game with a passion. I remember being so disappointed in this when I was a kid back in the day and played this shit for the first time. I also always loved how every platform got its own version. Like the PC and console versions of these games where nothing alike. But now they were just all the same game. This was just non-stop action and the worst part is is that this book and film lends itself so well for a game with all the Trails. But they just turned does into shitty mini like games. The 5th and 6th game where a bit better (still bad, but at least it was free roam again, and it was cool that they fully remade Hogwarts to explore) and the 4th game is still waaaaay better than the 7th and 6th game, but it still sucks imo. I would love it btw if you did a review for the console version of the first 3 games. The 3th game on the ps2 is my fav or these.
PS: the music in these games are one of my fav game scores ever.
Don't worry, I'm planning on going through some of the console versions of the other games in the future! đ„ł
@@PhilOfGlimmer Awesome! Can't wait â
Drag race reference = subscribe + now I have a crush
fun fact: on the night of August 11, 2014, 2 German youtubers named HandofBlood and tinNendo played the game under #ichhasseharry (#ihateharry) through the night under the influence of insomnia and 7 cans of Red Bull, it ended in anarchy, a whole recording crazy French and downright tourette and that the cover of the game was destroyed. Originally the plan was to enhance the game through entertainment, but then the AI ââgave birth to the # I hate Harry because they didn't want to offend the developers, but in the end they actually hated Harry because the AI ââcouldn't figure anything out.
I remember I was so excited to get this game since Goblet of Fire was my favorite HP movie at the time. After playing it, I felt it was a huge downgrade compared to Prisoner Of Azkaban prior. A lot of the story elements from the book and film were missing completely and it was lame asf. Back in 2019 was the first time I've played the game in a while. I made a HP Video Game Movie series on my channel which is basically me playing through all the HP games on console and turning them into CZcams Movies. I try to add in some story elements that were missing in the Goblet of Fire game but I did the best I could đ€Ł
This game was so funny to play with my brother, but so annoying to play it alone. Nice try anyway, although we know which game is the best ;)
This game wouldn't even be good if there were 2 or 3 people sitting and playing. I only got as far as the Forbidden Forest.
dude please review the order of the phoenix and the half blood prince game i beg!!
Now come to think of it I can't believe I actually spent time in those repetitive level back then.
I loved playing all these games, but they were all SO different! Why the fuck did they do that??
Also, they got Ralph Fiennes to voice Voldemort.
I played every single Harry Potter PC game when I was younger and this one was by far the worst. I think I got to the second task and then stopped and switched discs back to Chamber of Secrets.
Honestly it only got worse from there so you did the right thing!
@@PhilOfGlimmer subscribed and looking forward to more of your reviews! The frustrated gameplay bites at the end are hilarious, also died at left field Kennedy Davenport fuck my drag right lol
This game looks like the Return of the King video-game.
This game is more like a Lego game than anything- in my opinion
Oh my god you're so right. The way all the beans get collected is just like collecting stuff the Lego games!!!!
I was so sad when playing it. The third was the last good one hopefully legacy will redeem
Excellent content! Please do the whole series! Nostalgia overflow đ€Ł
Thanks haha, I did actually try playing HP5 the other day but it just keeps crashing at one particular location so this might have to be the last Harry potter one for a bit I'm afraid đ„
@@PhilOfGlimmer Yeah, other titles tend to be quite buggy and "crashy" sort to say, especially Hp5 and 6. Hp7 part 1 and 2 are basically Call of Duty Wizard Warfare which is pretty lame to say the least. Nevermind, keep up with nostalgia filled reviews. These are the best!
@@glutkar95 Call of Duty Wizard Warfare lollll why does that sound both trashy and amazing to me
@@PhilOfGlimmer if you want you can play the ps2 version with a emulator pcsx2 or the wii version with dolphin, the graphics are a little worst than the pc version but the game is the same (not like hp 1 to 3)
@@SheriffArthurMorgan ooh ok, thank you, i may check that out in the future :D
Even though it felt like hell to play through some parts, I still recall this game being fun
I think you will enjoy Order of the Phoenix. I did not grew up with that and played it only a year ago, but I really like the many minigames, the explorability of Hogwarts and the many, many, many easter-eggs. The camera can suck a lot, but it is forgivable. Half Blood Prince had a very nice castle as well and a better camera/gameplay, but zero to none explorability, which did suck. After that, the games became FPSrs. Lol.
Order of the Phoenix had minigames? Do you mean the card and gobstones that I never really looked into?
I agree that the castle itself was way better for exploration in OTP cause of the discovery points mechanic, but I liked the introduction of duelling, potions and, for all that it was dumbed down more than ever, Quidditch in HBP.
@@jamma.77 Gobstones was pretty fun, as well as actual wizard's chess. The castle was also better to explore. I liked potions and quidditch in HBP, but the shields were a bit lazy, and when collecting them all on the PC there was no gratifying reward in the end, or any special area to reveal. The game felt empty compared to OotP.
@@Jiskpirate I could never beat the AI - I mean, Ravenclaw champion at chess in OTP. And yeah, the castle feels mostly empty in both games to me. Also, the free-flight Quidditch in Philosopher's Stone makes it impossible for me to enjoy any other iteration of where you're just locked onto following it; just feels mindless in comparison.
@@jamma.77 Ye, though quidditch was never really done that well. Fixed routes suck, but I do remember that I ragequit often when almost but not entirely catching the snitch in the first game.
@@Jiskpirate Yeah, I used to hate it in Philosopher's Stone as well, but playing it again more recently, I really appreciate the challenge of having to chase it down yourself - same reason I have a much better time with the levels sneaking past Filch now than I did when I was younger, which I genuinely used to be too scared to play (I was about 8 at the time).
How surprising. The worst Harry Potter movie gets the worst Harry Potter game.
I am little late, but...
Thank you for the video.
Although the game is very disappointing, it isn't completely awful. You were really fair with your points.
It is always nice to hear someone talk about HP games, be it the good or the bad ones, so once again, thank you! :)
Keep up the good work!
I actually enjoyed this as a kid⊠oh boy
Though I remember hating this game upon first getting it, so much that I never completed and returned it, this review does make it look kind of fun. Maybe I will subject myself to it sometimes. Absolutely does not belong in the same class as the HP1-3 boxset though. Just why would you think removing the Hogwarts exploration element could be a good thing?
This was my first Harry Potter game and it was also my last. Maybe I should of tried the other ones going of the comments.(Canât wait for Hogwarts Legacy)
GIT TO THE PORTKEY is the Harry Potter equivalent of Get to da choppah!
Iâm so glad I only played the demo đ
Approx 5:20 Mooooooody đđ
I'm glad you liked the game đđ«Ą
watching the first 5 minutes up to the level selection, i think you can really tell that EA was the developer, just by looking at how similar it is to the return of the king game by EA. really feels like the same game in a different IP
Yeah I still liked the game the camera and computer AI sucked though, the gameplay is only good if you play with Friends so you donât have dumb AI
I wish all Harry Potter games was made by know wonder studio to make it easy and all
That game disappointed me so much. I wanted so much more after Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. This game is wasted potential.
A BEAN!
Also harry didn't know that was voldemorts logo
Ah, Mario 64 but without Peach's Castle.
It is sad that it was not as enjoyable as the other games.
