    It just isn't much fun. While the concepts lay the groundwork for another fun and innovative title, the execution is totally botched, leaving you with a game that makes you tense and angry nearly every time you play it.

    Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is a vastly inferior sequel to the amazing Challenge of the Warlords, and manages to alter several feature for the worse. The most disappointing things are that the tempo is much lower, the gameplay seems more haphazard and the hexagonal shapes detract from the strategic gameplay. Fun for newcomers perhaps, but the original is much more recommended.

HEY i said freek it I want them anyway today..LIKE WOW...bad graphics? boring? dudes did they issue a patch while u slept??? SORRY I AM LUVN THIS...IT IS STAR TREK PUZZLE GAMED OUT!!! I DONT KNOW ... maybe u see somethin i dont im jumping through leapgates tracking down this thing that escaped. im battlin aliens, running errands for the federations, helping people, the graphics are like bejeweled2 or blur in that they are crsp and pop...eye candy...it plays like bejeweled2 or puzzle quest except its an octogon and the pieces dont move unless u match em and then some slide in to take there place. theres 50 or 60 hours of play here. and different modes of play. mining, battles, and hacking leapgates all play different so u dont get bored. there is a ton to explore and a few trophies utimately this is a puzzle game...however modern warefare, bad comany, and medal of honor are all first person shooters done by different comanys but play pretty much the same...at least with quest, galactrix and chronicles they play wildly different...chronicles will make u say wtf? as it is sideways. if u are a trekkie who likes puzzle games this is it but the nature of the game is on both...be curious and explore...… Full Review »
