After months of waiting the official Quidditch games have been released. For the past year and a half I've satisfied my Quidditch cravings by playing an array of unofficial amateurish quidditch games which frankly, haven't been all that good. So! At last we have the real thing. The annoying thing is that EA didn't announce the NA release date before hand, just using the ambiguous 'Q4' (for those of you who don't know, this means Quarter 4, i.e. Quarter 4 of the year). So here I was, expecting it to be released after the EU version, and then BAM! Anyway, enough of the riff-raff, what about the game? Well, to be honest, most of the practices are very easy. However the actual gameplay is quite good. The game system is very similar to most soccer games - you control the 3 chasers (if you have no idea what a 'chaser' is, read the Dummies Guide to Quidditch below) passing the quaffle around and scoring goals. Once the two snitch halves meet at the top (see the Gameplay Screen), the game shifts to a 'capture-the-snitch' phase. You control the seeker, trying to catch the snitch (duh!). Eventually, someone will get the snitch and the game will end. To start off with, you play as one of the Hogwarts house teams - Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin. Once you win the Quidditch Cup you get to play in the ultimate - the World Cup! -=-= The Dummies Guide to Quidditch =-=- So, never heard of quidditch before? Where have you been? Don't tell me you haven't read the books! Anyway... Quidditch is the sport of witches and wizard. It is played on a Quidditch pitch and the players are mounted on broomsticks. A Quidditch team is made up of 7 players, they are: 3 Chasers 2 Beaters 1 Keeper 1 Seeker Chasers ======= The goal of chasers is to score goals. There are three goals at each end of the field. The chasers pass the quaffle (a red leather ball, about the size of a soccer ball/football with pockmarks in it) and try to throw it through the goals. Each goal is worth 10 points. Beaters ======= These two players fly around the field holding clubs. Their job is to hit bludgers (medium sized black balls which try to knock players off their brooms) at the opposition players or stop them from hitting their own players. Keeper ====== Each team has 1 keeper, whose job it is to prevent the chasers from scoring goals. They hang around the goals their trying to defend and block shots with their bodies. Seeker ====== The seeker has got probably the most important job in the team. His/her job is to catch the snitch (a tiny gold ball with wings that flies around REALLY quickly). When the seeker catches the snitch they gain 150 points for their team and the game immediately ends. Well that's about all you need to know, for more information, READ THE BOOKS!!! -=-= A Bit About Me =-=- If you are reading this then you have too much time on your hands. Anyway, I’m a 15 year old and live in New Zealand. That’s near Australia for those of you who aren’t familiar with South-Western- Pacific Geography. I enjoy using computers and am especially into ‘video games’ (who isn’t?) Apart from gaming I maintain my own website, write computer programs (yup, including games), and Code Hack (there are people out there that have to find all the codes for the cheaters :D ) Then there’s school and I enjoy playing cricket and soccer. -=-=Apologies=-=- I would like to apologise for: - Mis-information (unintentionally of course) given here. Especially when people contribute tips etc, I don’t have time to check up on all of them - Other mistakes - Dull attempts at humour - My poor artistic talents - The graphical incapabilities of text files - Anything I have forgotten to apologise for Now might be a good time to sneak in a little confession and hope you don’t notice it :). I have used an emulator to play this game, for the sole reason that emulators are a lot easier to use. For example I can make as many save states as I like whenever I like and and I don’t have to reload the game every time I stuff up (a frequent occurence. It's also kind of a habit as all Code Hackers use emulators. Using an emu is exactly the same as using, the real thing, just that it’s not :) Don’t call me a cheapo because of this, it just makes things a lot easier (and I've bought all the rest of the HP paraphernalia so it's not like I'm damaging anyones pocket). _____________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ __________ _____________/ \ / \_____________ / ___________________________________ \ __ /__ / ============================ \ __\ __ \ \-----/ /__ 3 REVIEW 3 __\ \-----/ / \ \ /__ / \ __\ / / \_\----/ /==============================\ \----/_/ |/ \ / \ / \| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ\/ \/ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This section coming soon (once I can be bothered writing a review or find someone to do it for me). _____________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ __________ _____________/ \ / \_____________ / ___________________________________ \ __ /__ / \ __\ __ \ \-----/ /__============================__\ \-----/ / \ \ /__ / 4 COPYRIGHT NOTICE 4 \ __\ / / \_\----/ /==============================\ \----/_/ |/ \ / \ / \| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ\/ \/ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ FAQ İ Copyright 2003 Qi-Shan Lim .

Get ready to learn some basic Chaser techniques" Instructions: To test the accuracy of your passing, throw the quaffle through as many tubes as you can. Throwing the Quaffle harder will reduce your target by two tubes. Controls: Pad - Direction of Throw - Launch Quaffle Target: Bronze - 10pts Silver - 20pts Gold - 30pts Time: Bronze - 100s Silver - 100s Gold - 60s Strategy: This is a very easy challenge. This is my basic strategy which is guaranteed to work. Hold down (just before or after the tube appears). When the tube appears, press the corresponding directional button then release . Easy! Reward: Bronze - Gryffindor Chasers Silver - Hufflepuff Chasers Gold - Ravenclaw Chasers For Experts: Try beat my highscore (quite easy really) - 33s "Congratulations! You have mastered the art of passing. This technique is very useful because passing increases your Power Bar. This bar allows you to use Special Moves and contributes towards the release of the Snitch. -=-= Tackling =-=- "On your toes! It's time for a Chaser challenge." Instructions: For this challenge, you have to win the Quaffle from ghost of an ex-Quidditch player, Edgar Cloggs. Once you have the Quaffle, you must return it to the Quidditch ball box. Controls: Pad - Fly - Tackle Edgar - Dodge Edgar Target: Get the Quaffle into the ball box Time: 60 seconds. Strategy: Another quite simple challenge. Fly to the semi-ellipse line and Edgar should fly out. Turn around and chase him then tackle him and get the ball. For the Bronze level you should just be able to fly away from him. For the other levels, throw the quaffle towards the box, pick it up, then throw it into the box. NOTE: Time starts once Edgar flies out of the box. Also, when you go to tackle Edgar, it helps if you're on the left of him, that way you can quickly throw the quaffle and chase it. Reward: Bronze - Edgar Cloggs Silver - Slytherin Chasers Gold - Hogwarts Stadium (Summer) For Experts: Try beat my highscore - 9 seconds! "Excellent, Well Done! You've learned how to tackle and dodge. -=-= Shooting =-=- "You are now going to take the shooting challenge." Instructions: You must attempt to shoot past the Keeper, Madam Hooch, and score 40 points within the allotted time. Controls: Pad - Goal Selection - Shoot at Goal - Dodge Madam Hooch. Target: 40pts Time: Bronze - 60s Silver - 60s Gold - 50s Strategy: This one is even easier than the last! Grab the Quaffle when Hooch throws it to you (this is probably the hardest part of the challenge), then fly towards the goals, a little to one side. When you get close, hold , press one of the directionals (aim for one of the hoops that Mme Hooch ISN'T blocking, not that it really matters...) and release . If you miss, you're an idiot :) Tip: Don't be too close when you're shooting, but not too far :P Reward: Bronze - Gryffindor Keeper Silver - Madam Hooch Gold - Hufflepuff Keeper, Ravenclaw Keeper, Slytherin Keeper For Experts: Try beat my highscore, a rather crap 20 seconds. "Excellent, Well Done! You have now learned how to score goals. In a match, scoring a goal gives your team 10 points" -=-= Beaters =-=- "Time now for a Beater challenge. I know you can do it!" Instructions: In this challenge, you must protect a Chaser from Bludgers by using the Beaters. The Chaser must reach the Bludger box on the far side of the lake within the time limit. Controls: Pad - Fly - Call in Beater Target: Ensure the Chaser reaches the Bludger Box. Time: Bronze - 44s Silver - 60s Gold - 66s Strategy: Basically, you need fast reactions. As soon as you see the beater appear at the top right of the screen press . Also there will be minor obstacles that you have to dodge. Shouldn't be a problem. Reward: Bronze - Gryffindor Beaters Silver - Hufflepuff Beaters Gold - Ravenclaw Beaters, Slytherin Beaters For Experts: Try beat my highscore, an average 57 seconds. "Excellent, Well Done! You have mastered the art of using the Beater to defend the Chaser. To make a beater defend, press ; to attack and opponent's Chaser, press . Beware! Attacking a Chaser with a Beater will drain vital power from your Power Bar" -=-= Seeker =-=- "Let's have a go at the Seeker challenge. I hope you're ready!" Instructions: Hagrid has sighted a Golden Snidget in the grounds. The school's Seekers need to catch it so that it can be safely returned to a Snidget Sanctuary. Following the trail left behind by the Snidget will increase your speed. Picking up the globes on either side of the trail will increase your power bar. Controls: Pad - Fly - Use Boost Target: Catch the Snidget. Time: 60s Strategy: This is the hardest challenge of them all, waaaay harder than all the others put together. I haven't really got a good strategy for this one but generally, I pick up a lot of boosts at the start to increase my boost capacity, while still staying a little bit behind the opposition. Then you have to use your boosts up and catch the snitch. It is REALLY important to pick up boosts especially when you're right behind the Snitch as in the Gold level that's the only way you can catch up to it. Reward: Bronze - Gryffindor Seeker Silver - Hufflepuff Seeker Gold - Ravenclaw Seeker, Slytherin Seeker For Experts: Try beat my highscore, 48 seconds. "Excellent, Well Done! You have now learnt how to catch the Snitch. The seeker who catches the Snitch gains 150 points for their team and also ends the match" _____________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 1 exhibition match 2 practice game 6 Practice Mode: Ravenclaw 8 Practice mode: slytherin 12 quidditch cup 15 Special tackle - guarantee
