    Puzzle Quest could have been just as big - if not bigger - than casual hits such as Peggle and Bejeweled. Great art, great music, and hey, it even has a story. Unfortunately, all of the good is countered by one very serious problem: the game suffers from the worst game balance I have ever experienced.

Great art, great music, and hey, it even has a story. Unfortunately, all of the good is countered by one very serious problem: the game suffers from the worst game balance I have ever experienced. It does not play nor feel like a modern video game title, the difficulty ramp up is the stuff of late 90s JRPG developers with too much testosterone and too little supervision. Do not buy this game if you want a fun and casual experience.… Expand

    Es una pena la verdad... Y eso que la primera vez que jugué lo estaba disfrutando bastante, pero después leyendo mas comentarios de Metacritic y experimentado por mi mismo me di cuenta de la verdad... La IA hace trampas... ademas de que el juego se hace repetitivo, esta muy desbalanceado, subir de nivel es tedioso (ademas de que la IA escala niveles por lo que subir de nivel es inútil eEs una pena la verdad... Y eso que la primera vez que jugué lo estaba disfrutando bastante, pero después leyendo mas comentarios de Metacritic y experimentado por mi mismo me di cuenta de la verdad... La IA hace trampas... ademas de que el juego se hace repetitivo, esta muy desbalanceado, subir de nivel es tedioso (ademas de que la IA escala niveles por lo que subir de nivel es inútil e incluso apenas sube las stats por lo que uno de nivel 2 puede vencer a uno de nivel 10) y la historia es muy mala, cliché y sobre todo olvidable. La música no esta mal, pero hay pocos temas y la jugabilidad si bien es innovadora, necesita muchos arreglos. El juego es frustrante y aburrido con el paso del tiempo, hasta llegado un momento en el que te dan ganas de borrarlo... No lo recomiendo. La idea era buena... por lo que si hacen un combina 3 RPG mejorado a este... lo "compraré"… Expand

    The unlikely marriage of puzzle gameplay with RPG mechanics makes for one of the most addictive experiences available to gamers today.

    One of the most fun puzzle games since "Bookworm Adventures." [Jan 2008, p.74]

    The minute-to-minute gameplay is tried and true, and when you factor in the long-tailed character progression, well, let's just say it's a wrap. Puzzle Quest's designers are certainly onto something here.
