Puzzle Quest

This game is a lot of fun to play. It's an easy game to pick up on. My only issue with it is the graphics. The game is on the Wii, so I didn't expect too much out of it, but there is a fair amount of reading in the game and the words are hard to make out. My TV is a 32" High definition Flat screen and the words can be fuzzy, almost to the point of being unreadable.

I love this game

I dont know why this game is getting such bad reviews, me and my husband LOVE it. The controls are not bad as others have said; you just have to be careful when you point the wii remote as it should be. As for the game cheating, LOL I think all games cheat some when I'm losing but what fun would a game be if you won every battle or finished the game in 3 hours. Then people would be screaming it was too easy and where would the challenge be. The only thing wrong with this game is it keeps me up too late doing 'just one more quest'. Out of all our wii games, and yes we have lots, this is one of our favorites and the replay value is awesome. No two battles are the same, how many other games can say that.

Thoroughly addictive, with minor flaws

My wife and I both find this game completely addictive. We play on a 42" LCD that does a good job of up-converting (many TVs don't), and while the graphics and text are definitely not hi-def they're more than good enough. The storyline lets you take different tracks through, and consequences vary based on the decisions one makes - from the initial definition of the avatar on. The puzzles are challenging enough to make you think, easy enough - once you figure out the 'rules' - that you can do it as a relaxing mental exercise. But one with enough challenge to keep you involved.

There are sometimes problems with the control, where the system reads a minor twitch as a move, that can result in pretty bad consequences when the move you were trying to make goes wrong. But you know what? That's part of the game. You do that once, and you remember for a long time to be very careful how you move. Besides, the only consequence is that you may lose a particular battle and have to play it again, it's not like you were sent all the way back to the beginning of the game.

It is possible - in fact, probably even likely - to get access to a very difficult match when you don't yet have the points to succeed. This makes you have to come back and try again after doing some less difficult matches to build up your points, and probably helps to stay involved with the game.

Sometimes playing feels repetitive, and we take a break for a little while. But when we come back to it it's fresh again. My most advanced avatar is at level 42 right now - I recommend creating multiple different avatars so you can play it through in different ways.

It's not for finger-twitchers, gore-lovers, or probably even most devotees of FPSs. But if you like puzzle-solving in an interesting mythical world you'll probably enjoy this.

It's okay.

This game does nothing but cheat. The game consistently strings multiple turns for itself, bashing in your hitpoints like a barbarian at the gates of... some place they ransacked, I dunno. I got up, made a sandwich, came back, and it still wasn't my turn.

Oh, wait, let me explain this game for you. It's "Bejeweled." With magic. You cast a spell and ding the enemy and then it casts a hundred spells and you die. And then you repeat. And sometimes you're unfortunate enough to win and continue the horrible plot, which only forces you to play more matching games against the computer.

It's so hood.

If you're really in the mood for a good puzzle game, get something else. I highly recommend "Guess Who."

Puzzle Lover!

I hve no idea what all the negative reviews are about! I got this game and have been hooked since. It's full screen on a 56" HDTV, the graphics are perfect, I can read the words just fine. I'm already addicted and I LOVE IT!

Don't get for Wii unless TV is HUGE

This game is pretty fun.. It's very similar to Bejeweled but with a little twist. The only issue is that if you get this game for Wii, the text on a majority of the screens is physically impossible to read. I'm not sure how it works on other systems. I had a 27" TV and could NOT read the words. I recently upgraded to a 50" flat screen and it's still not the easiest read in the world, but it's legible now. If you like Bejeweled with a plot, this game is for you.

worst game ever

OMG! What a horrible game! I wish Amazon would allow a score of 0. Where to start? First the graphics just plain suck. Very difficult to read. Controllers, sucky again. The game does not use the Wii remote properly, difficult to move around the game and difficult to make moves in the short games. Why bother making a game for the Wii if you don't take advantage of the technology the system has to offer. Music, thankfully it can be turned off! Horrible port waste of money. I feel very ripped off and am taking the game to a used game store after owning it for less than 24 hours. Wish I would have read the reviews here and not been attracted to it at Best Buy.

Truly awful. Why didn't I check the Amazon reviews?

This weekend I was feeling like I needed a new game for my wii that is one player. I had a couple other accessories to buy, so I headed on over to my local video game purveyor and looked around. Puzzle Quest looked like fun from the box, but it is not. I thought you would be able to explore the map and solve different types of puzzles to advance. You don't. The puzzle solving part is just a screen where you line up colored rocks to make lines of three. If you do this better than your automated opponent then you win a battle.

Obviously I didn't understand what the game was before I bought it. Besides the fact that it is no fun and boring, the controls are awful as well. I'll reiterate some of the complaints of others:
YOU CAN'T READ THE WORDS ON THE SCREEN. They are too small. Did anyone at the game company try playing this on a wii themselves?
You have to press up or down to select letters instead of pointing at a keyboard. And it's harder to do than if you were using an old school console.
The controls are hard to use and you will often make wrong moves because of the imprecision.

It's true, I didn't play this game for very long. After ten minutes I knew I would never play it again. I think I want to write the company and try to get my money back, after all, you can't even read the words on screen.

I won't buy any games without looking on Amazon again or without trying them first!

Looks worse than the other version, and if you have an Xbox 360 you can get a better looking version of the same exact game for only $10. This version is really a joke. The control setup is totally messed up as well. Don't waste your money....

I'm guilty of playing with this many hours a day!

It's a Puzzle game with a touch of roleplaying in it. I didn't know it was that kind of game when I purchased it on Amazon since it was on sale. I bought almost every game that was on sale at Amazon for the Wii. When I open it, start playing with it and see what happens, I was surprised that it was not just a puzzle game. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Both my friend and I are addicted to this game on the Wii AND on the DS.
