    Only the original CQ will do; accept no other substitutes!

    Although not up to the caliber of say, Hexic HD, Crystal Quest has fun, fast paced gameplay, and a fun bonus in the form of the a playable version of the original CQ.

  1. A solid game that could have used some better presentational aspects. When put up against the surprisingly deep competition for this style of game on Xbox Live Arcade, it falls a little flat.

    Crystal Quest's issue is that it never manages to absorb all your attention and mental focus like "Smash TV," "Robotron 2084" or "Geometry Wars."
  3. Crystal Quest tries its hardest to bring a slower variation of the style and substance that Geometry Wars so expertly crafted but it falls short of delivering the overall fun factor that other XBLA games have.
