i like the PC version lol, Which one is your favorite?

[@KirkukisTurkmen]

PC

[@KirkukisTurkmen]

And xbox too

[@BitsBeats]

Always the PC version 😁👌

[@karinamoreno1708]

PS2👹

On GBA it was a turn based RPG, It´s actually inspired by a GameBoy Advance game called Golden Sun that was popular at the time. On consoles it was a 3D Zelda clone. On PC it was an open world adventure game, with platforming, puzzle solving and shooting it kind of feels like 2000´s Tomb Raider. I´d say that if you are a Harry Potter fan you should try any version or maybe the version whose core gameplay appeals the most to you.

[@draganivanisevic5182]

Imagine if argonaut games made this game also for PS1 PSOne, how different would be from PC and Ps2? How it would be?

[@Lion09887]

Fun fact the gba version also had a new game + which was very rare at that time with the new game +you could carry over your levels spells and wizard cards not only that you can also go back to certain areas to get the wizard cards that you had to miss when switching characters

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

The GBA version was made by the same people who made the Gameboy Color versions of Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, that were also RPG's, and there's even a debug mode with the GBC Harry Potter sprite.

[@SammEater]

I never understood why early 2000's PC games were so different from consoles, this one and Spiderman 2 are basically another game entirely.

[@reniferZiolo]

maybe the risc processors were holding up much better against the intels?

[@SammEater]

@@reniferZiolo This could be the case, but then you look at the Spiderman 2 game and the PC version is subpar compared to the console release.

[@reniferZiolo]

@@SammEater no idea, but the ps2 spidey looks ugly considering how other ps2 titles aged to this Day so maybe it just wasnt a good game in general. First 3 hp games were massive sellers i cannot imagine them making a shitty port on purpose. The largest difference is not only poly count but textures.. In ps2 there are prerendered baked textures imitating lights on the pc there are tiled small chunks. I guess the pc s back then Kinda sucked for gaming hah.

[@SammEater]

@@reniferZiolo Graphics were better on Pc, but gameplay wise the PS2 Spiderman was miles ahead of the PC version, I really don't get how inferior it is considering the more powerful platform.

[@leanalighieri6586]

Because keybord and mouse... Controllers on pc was not officialy supported until 2007

[@Barrie96]

I think not only is the ps2 version the best, but it’s probably my favorite Harry Potter game of all time.

[@cattowers5636]

Amen

[@dealeral-ahmar8075]

Your opinion is biased as hell. The Xbox has exactly the same gameplay as the PS2 but slightly better graphic and lightning. This is probably due to your obsession with the PS2.

[@Phantron]

I have both Gamecube and PC versions, as they are different games :) PC version is very overlooked and underrated!

[@lucaspereirahmj]

Gba version = RPG, Consoles version = Zelda-like, PC Version = Platformer 3D

[@HuigbertsGamed]

Pc for me. Loved the transfiguration parts. Such a shame these were the last games in this almost legend of zelda like style

[@ahmedalkhatib4406]

I like the console version of the game the most because it has puzzles and there are more stuff to do than the PC and gba versions.

[@guitarfan7025]

Thanks man! I remember... I was playing this Harry Potter‘s game for PS2 and I was crying with joy! Thanks!

[@hitbm4755]

The console versions were so much more authentic towards the vibe of the movie in my opinion. Sadly, I only own the PC versions but remember enjoying to watch my best friend play the PS2 version. There is some nostalgia to the PC versions, but they do not have the same cinematic quality during gameplay and cutscenes as console, when comparing the dementor scenes and supposedly scary creatures you have to fight.

[@gabrielcaro]

You forgot about the GameCube version. The controls are better feeling in the hands.

[@Guilkwe]

But the games are the same. Any difference? The difference is in the GBA version which is really another game.

[@kitsunekid16]

@@Guilkwe prisoner for gba seemed like a step backwards compared to chamber of secrets for it since it was a lot slower and just seemed all around sluggish and lower graphically

[@Altmaass]

Falto la versión de GAMECUBE. Las versiones de XBOX, PS2 y NGC son mas largas en historia que su versión de PC. Por ultimo la versión de XBOX es la que tiene una diferencia que es el autoguardado y algunos añadidos de sombras

[@spacepirate9882]

The rendering of the PC version is obviously sharper but look so flat. There is zero atmospheric/ambiant lighting. Console versions looks more "cinematic" With emulation, you can now make the console versions to look way better than PC by increasing internal resolution, add texture filtering, etc.

[@gex581990]

Were you emulating the PS2 version or playing the PAL version or something? It’s way slower than it should be

[@danielantoniiomoralesvizca3717]

The xbox and play version are incredible

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

The PC Version looks clearer, but it lacks post processing polish. You can tell it was still made on the same foundation as the previous two games, which were brought over from the Ps1.

[@NiwaFlan]

Gba version forever

[@Berat-Hatipoglu]

Wut

[@Delerou]

The PC Versions of Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets were the superior versions, but when it came to Prisoner of Azkaban it was the console version that was better.

[@Zaanse_Mayo]

I really don't like that weird jumping animation whenever Harry uses a spell in the ps2 game

[@niki75]

I grew up with the Ps2 version of the game. And while it's not as good as Chamber of Secrets it's still way better than the PC version. Infact I've almost always preferred console versions to the PC variants when it comes to the Harry potter games. Prisoner of Azkaban especially as it took me barely 5 hours to 100% the PC game. Now I admit I did play the PC game at the age of 25, well past the recommended age but I have a feeling that even as a 12/13 year old I would've cleared the PC game far faster than it's superior console variant.

i remember in the ps2 version you had a fight against malfoy on the train and when you faced the dementor you had to carry harry up to a certain point

Ps2 is at 30fps and xbox is at 60fps, right ?

[@ErickGamer-gw9jw]

I like the XBOX version.

[@hillineta9999]

I got the game a few days ago (the Xbox classics disc) but I have Xbox 360 and it won’t work on that console. does anyone have any idea on how to make it work somehow? or it’s useless

[@SpiritDetectiveCarter]

you must have a xbox 360 that doesn't have full backwards compatibility unfortunately. You have to buy the right xbox 360 to play every og xbox game. Usually the newer models work

until now. i still not undestand why they make different game for pc and console?

different developers (PC version was made by Know Software; PS2 / Xbox was made by EA internal studio).

[@GabePickles3837]

PS2 and PC for me.

[@tunod-]

My favourite is the PS2 version. It's definitely superior compared to PC. PC ports were shit back in the day (often still are now lol) and for some reason it feels more like a platformer while PS2 really engaged you in a great story

[@fogdropmusic]

PC Version is my favorite

[@kevinnfs2192]

I think you forgot the gamecube version

[@KronosTL]

While the console version seems to be more polished in graphic its kinda bugy and boring in the sense of the gameplay. The PC version is moderate in both but still not very amusing. The GBA version is just a "sequel" to GBC version which utilise RPG style gameplay. I like all version because of their unique gameplay but I prefer more PC and GBA version.

[@rileyburnett720]

The one i like the GBA version is it follows the book more closely. Things that were cut out of the movie are in there.

[@ohajohaha]

PC is the worst version?! It has awful lighting, has the worst effects, is on UE like the older games (the older games on PC were decent but they were their own thing, this one seems unnecessary, it's so similar to the console versions they could have just ported the xbox version), has worse models, worse animations, less content, less variety of environments.

[@mohammed_K1]

The pc version is a completely different version. It is much better too. I will not speak on the technical side, but in terms of the type of villains I see better than the rest of the copies 🙂✌ pc win this time

[@reniferZiolo]

pc is so ugly compared to console versions was really jelous as a kid as I got my first ps2 quiet late

[@chrisfarleyshrek4347]

GBA - Interesting version of the game. Xbox - Best graphics for a console. PC - The game looking at it's best! best version of the game. PS2 - Doesn't even bother. Worst version of the game.

[@KingCobra2287-r1j]

What about the GameCube version? That one has the best looking controls of all console versions

[@federalboobieinspector]

I think in first level in that train the ps2 and xbox gives a better wizard world atmosphere and the perspective/camera is at good angle too but overall pc version is best
