According to
this press release, Electronic Arts and Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment are set to confirm on Tuesday an upcoming video game counterpart
to "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Both the game and the Warner
Bros. Pictures feature film based on J.K. Rowling's fourth "Potter" book are
scheduled for release in November. Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe),
Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Grange (Emma Watson) are all playable
characters in the game and will look the same in both media. Players also will
notice two new game features. When casting a spell, players will "feel the
magic" as the controller shakes in reaction to the wand's motion. Also,
co-operative modes allow players to join forces to combine their skills and
power. The game will be released for PSP, PS2, Xbox, GC, NDS, GBA and PC.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry is mysteriously selected as the fourth competitor in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament. Each contestant in this international competition must confront a fire-breathing dragon, rescue friends from the icy depths of the Black Lake, and navigate the twisting mysteries of a vast, dangerous maze. Players will experience all the thrills of the movie - from the Quidditch World Cup campsite to a heart-stopping duel with Lord Voldemort himself!
Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all playable characters, modeled after their big-screen counterparts. In this game, an all-new spell-casting system allows players to feel the magic for the first time as the controller shakes and reacts with every flick of the wand. Players can also team up with friends in co-operative play to combine their magic and produce more powerful spells than ever before!
