 Puzzle Quest August 18, 2008
This game is a lot of fun to play. It's an easy game to pick up on. My only issue with it is the graphics. The game is on the Wii, so I didn't expect too much out of it, but there is a fair amount of reading in the game and the words are hard to make out. My TV is a 32" High definition Flat screen and the words can be fuzzy, almost to the point of being unreadable.
 I love this game May 15, 2008

I dont know why this game is getting such bad reviews, me and my husband LOVE it. The controls are not bad as others have said; you just have to be careful when you point the wii remote as it should be. As for the game cheating, LOL I think all games cheat some when I'm losing but what fun would a game be if you won every battle or finished the game in 3 hours. Then people would be screaming it was too easy and where would the challenge be. The only thing wrong with this game is it keeps me up too late doing 'just one more quest'. Out of all our wii games, and yes we have lots, this is one of our favorites and the replay value is awesome. No two battles are the same, how many other games can say that.
Thoroughly addictive, with minor flaws April 4, 2008

My wife and I both find this game completely addictive. We play on a 42" LCD that does a good job of up-converting (many TVs don't), and while the graphics and text are definitely not hi-def they're more than good enough. The storyline lets you take different tracks through, and consequences vary based on the decisions one makes - from the initial definition of the avatar on. The puzzles are challenging enough to make you think, easy enough - once you figure out the 'rules' - that you can do it as a relaxing mental exercise. But one with enough challenge to keep you involved.
There are sometimes problems with the control, where the system reads a minor twitch as a move, that can result in pretty bad consequences when the move you were trying to make goes wrong. But you know what? That's part of the game. You do that once, and you remember for a long time to be very careful how you move. Besides, the only consequence is that you may lose a particular battle and have to play it again, it's not like you were sent all the way back to the beginning of the game.
It is possible - in fact, probably even likely - to get access to a very difficult match when you don't yet have the points to succeed. This makes you have to come back and try again after doing some less difficult matches to build up your points, and probably helps to stay involved with the game.
Sometimes playing feels repetitive, and we take a break for a little while. But when we come back to it it's fresh again. My most advanced avatar is at level 42 right now - I recommend creating multiple different avatars so you can play it through in different ways.
It's not for finger-twitchers, gore-lovers, or probably even most devotees of FPSs. But if you like puzzle-solving in an interesting mythical world you'll probably enjoy this.
 It's okay. March 20, 2008

This game does nothing but cheat. The game consistently strings multiple turns for itself, bashing in your hitpoints like a barbarian at the gates of... some place they ransacked, I dunno. I got up, made a sandwich, came back, and it still wasn't my turn.
Oh, wait, let me explain this game for you. It's "Bejeweled." With magic. You cast a spell and ding the enemy and then it casts a hundred spells and you die. And then you repeat. And sometimes you're unfortunate enough to win and continue the horrible plot, which only forces you to play more matching games against the computer.
It's so hood.
If you're really in the mood for a good puzzle game, get something else. I highly recommend "Guess Who."

I hve no idea what all the negative reviews are about! I got this game and have been hooked since. It's full screen on a 56" HDTV, the graphics are perfect, I can read the words just fine. I'm already addicted and I LOVE IT!
