Harry potter sorcerers stone pc game download free

Now, you can vote for your favorite games and allow them to have their moment of glory. You attend classes as a first-year student at Hogwarts, and take part in a series of adventures. I have to admit, being able to explore the Hogwarts grounds is a real treat.

The result is a game that will make fans of the series squeal in joy. You use one button to jump and one button to cast spells, and you move around the same way you would in any other third-person game — minus side-stepping.

The controls, however, are pretty broken, seemingly yanked straight out of console land with little regard to PC specifics. Now I've read all the books twice disguised under a Will Self hardback jacket if the reading was done in public and am firmly under the spell of Rowling.

But let's get one thing straight: no matter how much the critics rave, the film adaptation is merely competent. They've taken the Star Wars feel of the novels and turned it into a big budget version of the Famous Five, which will only satisfy kids. The curious thing is, that while the game is still aimed squarely at children, it's also rather good. All credit must go to EA for not turning this into the shameless moneymaking coaster it could have been.

When you consider that a PSOne version was released simultaneously, it's amazing that this is a great looking PC title which, though it does have strong console roots, has been developed as a separate product. The mere fact that you can redefine your keys and use the mouse lets you know right from the start this is not just a console port. The core of the gameplay is a sort of stripped down Tomb Raider, combining platform jumping, elemental puzzles and a few sub games to keep things interesting.

While the plot follows that of the book, most of the game is structured around learning spells and putting them into practice. You attend classes, "learn" the spells by tracing their symbols with your mouse and complete an obstacle course challenge after each lesson.

It doesn't sound like groundbreaking entertainment, but two things elevate it above the standard platform game: the recreation of Hogwarts and quidditch. You can read more about the recreation of the wizard sport in the side panel, but it's the school environments lifted out of Rowling's pages that catch your immediate attention.

The game has been developed with inside knowledge of the film, and so most characters look and even sound like the actors who portray them, but Hogwarts seems to come alive much more clearly here. The excellent graphics help, of course, and remind me of the kind of sumptuous interiors to be found in Clive Barker's Undying. We'd give you more info but we missed the secret area in the Quidditch lesson - bah!

This brings us neatly to the flying broomstick game. Starting with a quick lesson with Zoe Wannamaker or rather, her digital equivalent , you're quickly spotted as a star Quidditch player, and promoted to the house team! Through this convenient plot device, you're propelled into an all-star match against the other houses. As the seeker, your task is to zoom around the pitch and pick up the snitch, a tiny golden ball with wings, to clinch the match.

In fact, it's probably the trickiest part of the game, and certainly the most fun, which is why the title includes a separate Quidditch league where the enlightened player can zoom and swoop to their heart's content to build their way up the league. You can even have private tuition with the Quidditch teacher to improve your lacking broomstick skills. Control has been simplified to appeal to all ages, but this leaves you feeling a little bit clumsy.

You can move back and forwards, turn left and right, jump, and use a spell, with the mouse being indicated as the sensible way to look around.

However mouse control is incredibly awkward, so we ended up moving around with the arrow keys - the lack of a strafe only causing occasional annoyance. Much of the game is platform-style, not dissimilar to a certain Ms Croft's escapades. The way Harry grabs the edge of blocks and bookcases and hauls himself up with a grunt is a dead ringer for the anatomically impossible heroine. What's a bit silly is that the game includes the ability to enable an 'autojump' function.

Yes, that's just what it sounds like - we heartily recommend people leave it off since it not only takes away any difficulty from the platform sections, but also reduces the fun quota to near zero. The game has its fair share of puzzles, although they're not overly taxing, being aimed at an age group with a large span of years. They're made with style, however, as is much of the game itself. Graphically, it's a feast for the eyes, with convincing representations of the film's heroes, heroines, villains and bit-parts all reproduced.

Hogwarts itself looks wonderful, just the sort of place to make kids and adults alike wish that they'd been the ones who'd been picked for wizard school. Likewise, the voices are excellently done. Mimicking the film's cast to perfection, the game is truly immersive - sadly this just heightens the disappointment when you reach the game's ending so quickly.

For a film conversion, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone manages, thankfully, to live up to the hype. It's an excellent title for kids of all ages yes, even the grown up ones , with a fantastic mixture of gaming genres contained within. Alas, a slightly ropy control system, and disappointing length let us down on what is otherwise a truly enjoyable experience.

There isn't a second disc, that is only an error. S 0 point. Not sure if anybody still looks at this page Salu 2 points. Future Readers: It is recommended to use the newer, improved no-cd crack instead of the legacy, older 'scene crack', as the newer crack contains improvements from both the OldUnreal Forums and Harry Potter Modding Discord communities. There is a readme. But for use of the improved crack, the newer HP. Some background on the improved HP.

With this new hp. Furthermore, the improved selection menu is from the standard Unreal Engine Launcher. Since this version allows for other render devices, it makes sense to ask the user. The legacy or historic no-cd crack is also archived for data preservation and for integrity of the history of these games and their continued accessibility. The Harry Potter Games Archive Project exists to prevent software obsolescence and to allow digital preservation of culturally significant works of art and media to be indefinitely accessible, the basis to any flourishing and informed society.

JENK4 - did you correctly copy the crack to where the retail. I'd recommend joining the Archive Project server on Discord if you have any further questions.
