This game is OK! The story is weird and the adventure mode stinks! The classic mode is so much better! The only things wrong with this game is that controlling Q-bert is so hard and it is sort of boring. There just isn't much to do.

Oh for a 2600-style joystick

The classic version would be great, if only I could substitute the shoddy PS controller for a real Joystick. As for the 3D adventure version, I find the perspective really wacky. It's sometimes really difficult to guess which way you're supposed to jump. Maybe I'm just less tolerant than I used to be.

EXCELLENT GAME!

Q*BERT shows why some of the orignal video games are still the best. Its the gameplay that sets them apart. Q*Bert wont dazzle you with graphics or music, but it will have you hooked with its great gameplay. The first night I fired this game up I couldn't quit playing it for 2 hours. It is easily addictive as Tetris, and that is a great thing. There is a little learning curve as the control can be a little tricky, however if you are using a Dual Shock controller, the analog pads are the way to go. I highly recommend picking this game up, it is a must own!

Guilty pleasure

When I first got this game, I thought it stunk! The graphics are not all that good in the first level of the game, the movement is hard to figure out, and it looked nothing like the old school Q*Bert that I use to play when I was a kid. But I kept at it, and the game really grew on me. After the first level, the game gets better and better. You have to jump in 3D all over Q*Bert land. If you like cheesy games that remind you of your childhood, then this game is kinda cool.

Love the Orange Ball guy!

Back in the "day" of the arcade, which was for me in the early 80's there was a little game called Q*bert stuck between Moonpatrol and Joust at my local arcade. Although, I was barely old enough to reach the controls and see the screen at the same time I can recall dumping quarters into the machine trying to change the color of the squares while evading the bad guys and failing miserably every time. While many other arcade classics have been remade in the past, as far as I know this is a first for Q*bert. This new version maintains the feel of the original game but, also includes many innovative updates. The controls on Playstation can be a bit quirky because of the angles but the basic setup can be changed and either analog stick can be used as well as the digital pad and the L/R buttons. In the adventure mode it can sometimes be a challenge to keep track of Q*bert on some of the more intricate boards but the good use of color in the game makes it manageable. The head-to-head game is a nice plus but I wish a random level generator would have been included to extend gameplay. Overall I would give Q*bert a B+ and think it will become one of my favorite puzzle games of all time along with Tetirs and Lode Runner.

remember when

If you are like me I played the old one and stank. But the new one seems eaiser to me, or maybe it is because I am about 12 years older. I like the fact that you can play against others to see how it is done first if you are not very good. It is very addicting. You will have fun playing it for hours and the new size, colors, and puzzles are cool

The Orange Guy is back!

After much anticipation I recieved this game, and it's the bestversion of Q*bert since his arcade release. The graphics are just amazing, the game play stays true to the original. If you buy one classic this year make it Q*bert for pc, or Playstation. You won't be sorry.

He's Back!

My life hasn't really been complete since 1992, the year I got rid of the old Commodore 64, and lost access to Q-Bert. Having Q-Bert back is great. This offering brings back the classic edition, just like we all remember it. Loads of fun - You need to get this game today...

It's pretty good.

A flashback to the past. Pretty interesting game, but hard (for me anyway) to figure out which way to jump at times. Then again, I'm just not very good at it. It you liked the old arcade game, you like this one.
