The Bottom Line:

"Almost, but not quite"

HP and the Chamber of Secrets roughly follows the basic story of the second Harry Potter book and movie. In stead of copying directly from the book or movie, it kind of just borrows from it. Using the underlying plot as a way to move through the castle and explore.

You are again asked to collect Every Flavor Beans and Hollow Cards scattered around the Castle and surrounding area's, but this time it's not just for fun. You are to use these items as a currency or to unlock more health bars or area's. So this time, you actually have to work for something, not just for Fred and George trying to flood Snape's office with beans.

The graphics is pretty much the same, except for some movement improvements and animation. Character design is somewhat better than the first, though the acting still suck!

This time there is also more complex puzzles that need solving. nothing that will keep you busy for too long though.

As I said, I think they are heading in the right general direction, I just wish they would start moving away from the Kindergarten style, and aim for an older audience.
