Electronic Arts have just announced that their upcoming Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban game will be the first third-party title to fully utilize the EyeToy technology for the PlayStation 2. For the first time in the series gamers will also play as friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as well as Harry Potter, switching between characters and utilizing their key attributes and skills to resolve challenges and overcome enemies. Harry and his school chums will have to unravel the mystery surrounding Sirius Black - and his escape from the infamous wizard prison Azkaban.
Gamers will encounter a host of new characters and creatures in this new Harry Potter adventure and also engage in a variety of sub-quests, fly on a Hippogriff, reveal the secrets of the Marauder's Map, and take on their friends in multiple two-player challenges.
Now this time with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, PlayStation 2 and EyeToy owners will get to see their image on the television screen via the EyeToy camera, enabling them to actually participate in the Mini-Games themselves. Up to four players can compete in a series of Harry Potter themed games as well as donning the Sorting Hat as they are sorted into their respective Hogwarts house. The Mini-Games include:
Chocolate Frogs:
Clap your hands together to catch a Chocolate Frog and make a nice, chocolaty mess!
Exploding Snap:
A popular pursuit of Hogwarts pupils, Exploding Snap requires players to match their cards with the snap card to create explosions and increase their score. Chaining correct matches together produces even more explosions!
Seeker Practice:
Now everyone can improve his or her seeker skills by attempting to catch the ever-elusive Golden Snitch - just watch out for the Bludger!
Zonko's Joke Shop:
There's only one way to stop Dungbombs! Use Frog Spawn Soap to explode all Dungbombs onscreen; Hiccough Sweets causes them to jump and Stink Pellets slow them down.
We will keep you up to date with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - stay tuned to Silicon Fusion.
