This Was Frustrating... Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban PS2/Xbox/GC Game - Nostalgia Review

- Absolutely a fan favourite, HP3 on the consoles was a game I'd never played (😉), and so what was my impression going in with fresh eyes? Well, let's just say it wasn't all positive...

I adored this game growing up. My favorite part was that Ron sounded like he had a cold the whole time
Omg he does
So sad to hear about the death of Robbie Coltrane. He will always be remembered by those who grew up watching him play our favourite giant, (PS1) Hagrid. Do leave any comments of your favourite Hagrid moments, either film, book or games ❤
this should be pinned.
"Ain't a soul knows how, 'cept for me an' Dumbledore!... I shouldn't have told yeh that."
“There’s no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid.” [Harry in Cos movie]
"As unsuspecting muggles slept, a huge motorbike with a giant astride it tumbeld down from the darkness. The giant, named Hagrid, left a blanket-wrapped bundle on the doorstep of number four Privet Drive. Nestled in the bundle was a baby... Harry Potter... The Boy Who Lived". [Intro from Philosopher Stone PC game]
"I shouldn't have told you that" [Rubeus - "I would trust Hagrid with my life" cit. Dumbledore - Hagrid]
A lot of the Harry Potter film cast are sadly going slowly. 😢
Half-Giant* but yeah. 😢
i guess i got this game during that sweet spot growing up. the creepy mood music, the long dungeons, the (really) nice graphics for the time.
Learning to fly that griffon is one of my favorite ps2 memories. Cheers for reminding me.
That intro was great 😂 Literally my childhood coming to haunt me
Also, Snape's cough is absolutely hilarious when he catches you towards the end of the Marauders Map tutorial mission. xD
He also has another voice clip if dungbombed/stinkpelleted, doesn't he? Hexing him in the English dub makes him speak a Cadogan line
Cadogan? @@TheBreakingBenny
@@xXLunatikxXlul Hammy guy in portrait in the hallway, and temporarily substitutes Fat Lady until he reveals that he let Sirius Black into the Gryffindor Tower
@@TheBreakingBenny OH! Sorry, I completely forgot about that xD
The comedic talent of this man is on point.
As a kid I could never get past the section where you fight the ghosts or whatever they were right after you get Lumos. Haven't played this game in well over a decade, probably could do it now, if I can find it. I don't think I've gotten rid of it.
That bit was so difficult it took me so long
I completed the game as a child and tried picking it up and playing it again a few times over the years. Always gave up at that part, I must have had more patience as a kid
@@PC.NickRowan Feels good to hear others also struggling there. It's not just that I was a dumb kid.
I got stuck there for a while too because of how BADLY the game explains how to defeat Hinkypunks.
I was too scared of those ghosts and stopped playing as a kid
Love all your videos on the old HP games, I remember this one very well. The character animation was waaaay ahead of its time, its crazy how good it looks even today.
With those acting chops, I look forward to the one man recreation of all 8 HP films
Omg should i
Yass it could only be a good use of time. I’ll whistle the entire soundtrack
After spending all day writing an assignment, this was the perfect way to end the day. Thanks Phil!
My disk got scratched. The furthest I got in this game was when you are fighting off the Dementors by the lake.
I do like that the games tend to follow the books more than the movies did.
You pretty much finished it after that it's just cutscenes lol
@@RetroSmooand that's fine tbh 😅
Absolutely adore this game! I swear though, Ron and Hermione's incessant prompting is like a visual representation of the crippling urge to say sod the day and return to the haven of bed...... I do NOT need any encouragement to return to my duvet and listen to a Harry Potter audiobook 🥱
You can make characters turn blue if you use Glacias on them. I remember doing that to Malfoy when I was a kidXD Also I loved your humor, I enjoyed the vid. You have a new subscriber:)
4:08 There is a video on TH-cam in which the developers explain the reason why each character gets their individual abilities. In my opinion it makes sense. Ron can see secret passageways because he is a Weasley, and has grown up in a family of wizards. Hermione is smaller and agile, so she can fit underneath small gaps. Harry is athletic owing to his prowess in Quidditch, and therefore can make greater leaps across platforms. I would say that Hermione's is the one that perhaps has the weakest foundation, but she does learn the most spells at least which makes sense given her character.
Do you have the link or title of the video?
Man I love your channel so much, it gives me so much nostalgia with these Harry Potter game reviews :) Are you doing to play Legacy when it comes out?
Yeah I definitely wanna see what it's like!
The first three harry Potter games were the best. I loved this game so much. I used to love sneaking around on the night missions.
Great video as usual! That beginning bit is too accurate lol
Another great video, Phil! And you look great with this HD camera, keep slaying, gorge 👍👍
Thanks babe, I think it really shows off how high quality those wigs are ❤️
The comedy type and timing definitely slay and served Exquisite.
Hermoine for Ms. Skinny Legend UK 2022 ⏳🇬🇧
My favorite part about this game were the EyeToy minigames. Used to play them so often with my friends. Always got a laugh from the Sorting Hat :)
4:18 In the books, Ron has street smarts, so it makes sense... As for movie Ron...yeah it doesn't makes sense but whatev
Love the fact to control those 3 at the time ! Harry Ron Hermione were Mickael Franklin and Trevor 10 year before 🤣
Oh my god I just found you and I love this!!! Such a good video. Loved it
Thank you so much for the video. I used to play that Harry Potter game non stop, without the memory card, because it was very difficult to get it in my country, , so i remember when i had to leave ps2 turned on whenever I had to sleep. Sweet and magical times.
You really deserve more views Phil, you're a comedic genius. Not even that, but the reviews are on point as well! Love the irritation of Ron and Hermione harassing you for exploring
All my memories are flooding back too… I remember switching to hermione whenever I could because as a homosexual I just wanted to be a female in all video games. I honestly don’t think I ever beat this game though. I remember getting the freezing spell and flying around on buckbeak a bit but nothing past that.
Your skit at the start of this video is so accurate its frightening
The soundtrack is absolutely incredible
I'm pretty sure that the special Weasley touch is why Hermione fell in love with Ron.
This is probably my third favourite game in the series. Just below the 6th gen console versions of the first two games. Yes, Philosopher's Stone was remade on PS2, GCN and Xbox in 2003, and yes, most of the assets are just reused from Chamber of Secrets, but it's still a fun game. Really enjoyed this review. Now I'm curious whether or not you have any plans to review the Half-Blood Prince game.
I do, next on my list!
You have a very entertaining review format :) keep up!
ps. you...look a bit like Pewdiepie back in 2010s.
I watched the whole thing and then immediately hit Replay just to watch the beginning bit again. Legend.
These games are my childhood how have I JUST seen these videos in my recommended? This is great 😂I had the pc version and that ‘I’ve been poisoned’ bit gets stuck in my head randomly from time to time and I have no idea why lol
Thanks for putting that noiseclip back in my head
@@PhilOfGlimmer you’re welcome 😂 join my curse
I used to play this game so much back in the day. I've played it recently and it's just as good as I remember it to have been. What I will say is that the graphics whilst using an emulator on the PC makes this game look really good. This game certainly holds up. The only real negative as you mentioned is the fact that you only have two buttons to equip spells and potions. But everything else is great. Listening to the soundtrack, in particular the snowy music gives me such nostalgia.
hey, great review! will you be doing harry potter 2 for the ps1? its like extra content for the first game
Yesss just taking a while to get there!
Say what you want, but Jeremy Soule's soundtrack is sooo good
"The music of section is sparkly and cool"
'GRANNNIIE, I GOT THE JOB! Oh how WONDERFUL!'
TH-cam ads always happen at the worst times
These harry potter games have good moments but I've never been blown away by them, they just have good nostalgic value. On the thumbnail about the plot it dosent help the film dosent really work well for a game as nothing happens until the shreaking shack. Nice video enjoyed the analysis as there was some things i didnt even consider until you mentioned them. Probably my favourite out of the 3 on the ps2 but i much prefer the gba advance version as that is fun with turn based combat and each character being distinct enough.
really good Video :)
Still have to Play the console versions, only played the PC versions so far
I played it on Gamecube but I think it was the same version as for PS2. Back then I did enjoy this game. The animation was refreshing, the switching between characters was an interesting mechanic and exploring the castle and it‘s grounds felt like the biggest open world game to me 😂
Compared to the first two games (PC) I think it aged the worst though. Like the controls e.g. But I still enjoy playing it once in a while ^-^
Loved this game growing up! Watching this was really entertaining, good job ❤
i remember playing this game and I didn't know you could press and hold the Glacius spell so I could never defeat the salamanders
omg, I love how you edited this. very funny 👍🏻
Gosh, I love your Harry Potter nostalgia review videos. Don't ever stop!
And do be sure to cover Hogwarts Legacy when it releases!
Lmao didn’t expect that rose tyler’s clip
I just suddenly remembered playing this as a kid.... but i have about 0 clue of it over all. The outside and weird robot boss w Lupin was a sudden wait a minute i played this- moment
Hey, just saw your video on how to get the old HP pc games working on modern computer. I wanted to know if that method still works, can it be used on Windows 11? Can you guide me? I also wanted to say if I could rate it, I would rate it 5 stars. Amazing job.
To be honest I have not played them on Windows 11 so I don't know if it works, but it might do!
want to try it, would you be able to help me set it up
Did it ever work?
I have fond memories of this whole game series. Can’t wait for Legacy.
The same level you said brought back memories of the game is the only level I remember in this game use to rent it a lot from blockbuster
You call it Prisoner of Azkaban, I call it "Go to bed prompted by Ron simulator." Seriously don't get the constant reference to going to bed in the early HP games. The buggers go to one class, leave at 10 am and they're already talking about bed!
Those wigs were FRIED
I think you should make videos about comparing the first three games between pc and counsels 🔥❤️👍🏻
I agree!
Dude I loved that sketch at the start 😂😂
Hey! Love the video! Can we play this ported on the pc?😊
Not ported, only on an emulator, but it runs pretty well. The PC had its own version
To be fair, you'd probably be tired at the end of the day.....if your day of magical education consisted of as many physical challenges as Harry, Ron and Hermione's.
* clocking into work *
Me: “Time to end the day!”
A bit of constructive criticism if you don't mind - most people don't find distortion meme sound effect funny but rather annoying, was contemplating switching off the video when these came up.
hey you, never watched videos or give a shit about harry potter, but I just wanted to tell you that you have a pretty good beard, keep it up my man
Lol my 1 week stubble, thank you aha 😅😅😅
NOW I FIND OUT YOU CAN USE THE DUNGBOMBS FOR THE TROFEES?! 😭
Edit: yes those invisible buggers are the most annoying enemies on the planet, 0/10
12:34 WAIT, that was Daniel Redcliff voicing Hagrid? 0_0
Sure it's not perfect but it's not bad
Hmm, I never knew that
4:33 Omg ps1 Asterix and Obelix xD So nostalgic. Good old PS1 games just like HP1 and 2
🤣😂 so funny and so relatable. I got all the games when they came out. I know what you mean about how annoying Ron and Hermione can be. They aren't as bad in the pc game though. 1 and 2 are the best on pc. 3rd not so much but better graphically. I just wish it could be extended. I always wanted larger grounds on the pc game like the ps2 had.
Drink game: Take a shot every time that picture of him appears.
How did the fire in Glacius even appear? I don’t get it.
Magic babe x
Freeze Hells Over
@@PhilOfGlimmer I guess. I hoped one day the lava would spread around the school, litterly firing Professor Lupin.
6:22 LMAO HOLY SHIT. I never picked up on that.
This was a great video, Phil, but it's time to end the day.
is that a threat
@@PhilOfGlimmer I just can't think of anything else to do, maybe we should turn in.
Ah the intro was perfect 🤣.
They *really* wasted the character-swap system in this game. They use it for such weird and nonsensical things.
Why does Hermione need Harry and Ron to physically lift heavy gates and cauldrons and things when they learnt a spell in their FIRST YEAR for situations exactly like this??
Why is Harry the only one who can *j u m p ?*
Slightly better implementation than the PC game at least 😅
@@PhilOfGlimmer Maybe, but it seems much more annoying in general than the PC game.
It just occurred to me but aren't these charavter models just Sims 2 models?
So lucky to have one mint Asian English PS2 version of this, which is actually very rare.
Wot?
Oh my, who would’ve thought we’d see Rose Tyler here heh
Great video like always! The game looks pretty cool, and I didn’t even know of it’s existence. Gives off some cozy vibes
Lololol I was like "should I put this in? Is anyone gonna get it???"
Looking forward to see how you react to my favourite harry potter game which is philosophers stone for ps2. Try to look past the fact your spending £50 on a glorified re skin of cos
I played both versions when I was a kid. Love both. The xbox/ps2 version had more freedom, graphics were better. Pc had its own uniqueness!
This game may have had mechanics and animations that were an improvement on the PC version. But I definitely prefer everything else about the PC version, just a much more fun and satisfying game with more to do, plenty of challenges and sodequests, fun mechanics and better exploration imo. I had the PC and game cube version as a kid, the game cube version is the same as PS2 and it pissed me off so much.
The only things the PC version did better were the portrait secret rooms, a few more spells and some cutscenes. But PoA PC is mid as hell. No Quidditch, no duels, crappy Buckbeak sections. And the "plenty of sidequests" are just some glorified enemy waves. It's decent, but the console version is just better.
@@yrooxrksvi7142 Agree to disagree. I respect your points/arguement but my main point was that the PC version was a much more "fun" game imo, and still maintained a greater sense of the exploration, challenges and secrets that made the original HP PC games so good.
@@PC.NickRowan Better exploration, yes. But the console version is still a better package overall.
Still don’t get why both Chamber and the “remake” of Philosopher’s run at 60 frames on the GameCube and Xbox but this one runs at 30 on all consoles so unless you played the first 2 on PS2, it’s really jarring to make the switch to this game, it’s the same engine but it runs significantly worse 😢
It's a different engine actually. And yes while the textures and character models look better, the colours, the lighting and the general attention to detail are worse compared to the previous games. And that it runs at half the frames is the cherry on top.
If you want to play it today there is a 60 fps code for the PCSX2, works rather well. Dolphin is usually a better choice but this game runs terrible on it for some reason.
We’re not having plot.
what. the 3rd game is the best game by a wide margin.
oh and dark riders are and dementors are very different. they could be considered to look a bit simler.
Love the Harry Potter content keep it up
Great video Phil! I can't think of anything else to do! There's nothing to do! I'm so tired! I'm off to bed! Let's go to bed! Let's end the day! End the day Phil! Phil.... end the day..... please for the love of god Phil end it
Have on PC and PS2
Gotta love your HP videos!!
My favourite game of the early ones, and favourite movie
TH-cam algorithms working hard on me after I've listened to 40 hours worth of Prisoner of Azkaban PS2 soundtrack.
I loved PoA on PS2, but really didn't like the PC version
Same. Tbh some of the PC versions aged pretty poorly, same goes for the PS1 games.
Uhm Game. Doxys are venomous not poisonous…..
The wigs are sending me! 🤣🤣🤣
They're so bad aha
@@PhilOfGlimmer And somehow so effective. 😂
HoGgY wAtTy HoGwArTs- Dumbledore ps1
its not about being realistic, its fantasy
wait it's made by EA and they look like sims?!?
love your humor
can you help
Best Versions of this game
Will you play Hogwarts Legacy??
Never heard of it x
Just kidding yep
I like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Wait…. Why was the PS version so much better than the PC? 😂
PC game was much better in my opinion
SKINNY LEGEND😂❤
whipped back 20 years?! calm down darling the game(and the film) isn't that old yet... almost but not quite
*18 years, my mistake 😂😂😂😝😝😝
Well it is now!
Where's the plot? I don't know, maybe in the book?
You’re really hot , such a handsome guy , 😉
