EA today revealde their line-up of Harry Potter games based on the upcoming feature-length film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Leave the nonmagical world behind and enroll in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Harry Potter and The Philosopherâs Stoneä for the Game Boy Color. Be Harry Potter, learning to master all things magical in a world filled with wizardry, fun, and danger. Overcome adversity and challenges and encounter unforgettable characters from J.K. Rowlingâs worldwide bestseller.
Gameboy Advance
As Harry Potter, players will hone their magical skills and advance through Harryâs first year at Hogwarts. Players will be challenged to meet a number of objectives, such as collecting and mixing potions with Professor Snape or piloting a flying broom through the Forbidden Forest in search of Neville Longbottomâs Remembrall. In order to pass the first year of study, players must complete over twenty different objectives, while avoiding enemies and obstacles.
The Game Boy Advance version will take advantage of the enhanced portable console to provide action-driven puzzles that promise to capture the daring and adventurous spirit of Harry Potter. Players will experience Harry Potterâs world through an isometric 2D perspective with fantastic 3D rendered sprites, including top-down Quidditch and broomstick flying sequences that deliver the speed and excitement of competition. Scenarios such as learning to cast spells, searching for spell ingredients in Hagrids Garden and sneaking past the school Prefects at night will add challenges and while remaining true to the bookâs story line.
Harry Potter and the Philosopherâs Stone features more than twenty characters from the novel, including Harryâs friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley and Hogwarts professors, Dumbledore and Snape. Just as Harry did, players will experience the adventure that is life at Hogwarts along with the challenge of finding the Philosopherâs Stone.
Gameboy Colour
Players will take the role of Harry Potter as he enrolls in Hogwarts and embarks on a journey to unlock the secrets of his own magical abilities. Harry will have to complete and solve tasks and puzzles, learn how to use spells, gather potions and collect items in order to wear down the stamina of his opponents and defeat them, as well as battle creatures and occasionally face off against evil characters. As the player gains information and successfully completes confrontations, they will receive Experience Points (EXP). As the player collects EXP, Harry will effectively increase in strength and abilities and will be able to upgrade spells he has learned and engage in more physical challenges.
The Game Boy Color version will also feature the use of Famous Witches and Wizards Cards as specific items. The player will be able to acquire these throughout the game and trade them, both with characters in the game and with their friends as well. (Trading with friends is made possible by connecting two Game Boys together by means of Infrared or the Game Link Cable, a standard peripheral for the Game Boy). Because the player will have to make choices throughout gameplay that will change what cards are available, it will not be possible to collect all the Famous Witches and Wizards Cards within a single game. By trading and collecting cards, players will be able to open extra rewards within the game.
