Harry Potter is, in recent times, unavoidable. We have movies of the books, games of the movies and now there is a game based on a sport in the books - Quidditch. One would assume this game would be a waste of time for anyone older than 12, or anyone that is not a fan, but surprisingly enough, it is actually quite fun.
The sport is a mixture between football and rugby, and is played in the air on broomsticks. There are plenty of teams (International and Houses) to choose from, with many familiar faces from the Potter milieu and many features that can be unlocked by winning matches and challenges.
The game is easy to master, as it is obviously intended for a younger audience and you will destroy your opponents without any difficulty. There are seven different keys for different moves but, in the end, it all comes down to bashing two of them.
The gameplay seems to be more suited to a console than a PC. This is evident when playing multi-player on the same keyboard, as keys occasionally lock while frantically hitting buttons.
If you crave fun arcade-style action and are bored with typical sport games, give it a go. Potterheads will especially enjoy Quidditch World Cup. If you crave a challenge, however, give it a miss.
