I had trouble with this game because of the lack of the difficulty settings. With the original, I set the difficulty to easy until I was able to gain some levels without dying after almost every match. Personally I think that game was easier, even at normal, than this one is. Some of the mini games seem impossible without alot of practice and, unlike battle boards, you don't gain any experience for losing. I also preferred the midievil setting of the original to this space-age one. It's worth playing if you really like puzzle games, though.

the battles were entirely random. there was no strategy involved just pure luck. i liked the idea, it just didn't pan out.

Lost Interest

I was completely addicted to Puzzle Quest for the Wii. When I heard this game was coming out, I thought I'd be just as happy with it, but it just didn't hold my interest. The storyline was very slow paced, the characters weren't very likable, and frankly I was just at a loss of what to do at some points.

As with the Wii version, the gameplay was incredibly easy until certain points in the game where you suddenly came across an almost impossible to pass task. This makes for aggravation rather than fun strategizing.

There is no choice on what type of character you want to be to have different strengths. I thought this was a loss. The gameplay style is different in this game, and it's much harder to actually plan your strategy. I felt more like I was hoping to luckily have the pieces fall into line rather than planning a strategy.

Overall, this game just failed to capture my attention, unlike it's predecessor. I kept it around to give it more chances, but I finally returned it to Gamefly just because it was collecting dust more than anything.
