 Teeny Tiny Type only problem Feb 01, 2008
By Arthur Kimes
(note - 3rd update at end of this review has a fix!)
As mentioned in other reviews, when playing on a TV set the type is too damn small. I use a 19" screen and the game is playable but I had to use the (downloadable) manual to figure out some details.
Now the game is great. You can tell the AI is not just making moves, it's trying to frustrate your plans and lay traps for you. And, although there is a primary series of quests you have to do that lead to the endgame, you can just blow them off and engage in sidequests or one-off combats against the monster of your choice to while away a few minutes.
The manual that comes with the game is nearly useless. There's a very good manual at the companies website - they call it a walk-though on web page but the first paragraph says it includes an extended manual.
You can play the game without the manual. The tutorial hints are good but if your using the TV some of the icons in the game are too small to decipher but you can figure out what's going on if you use the downloaded manual.
If I had my PS2 hooked up to a hi-res TV or a computer monitor then I'd be giving this a 5-star rating.
---------
Update: Checked it out on a 37" plasma HDTV. The text is easily readable but the little icons (disease, enrage - things like that) are still too difficult to distinguish. Perhaps with an S-Video or Component cable those details would stand out - I was using the regular RCA cable.
You can still play the game and use the "view" button to tell you what those icons are. It could hurt in a timed game.
---------
2nd Update:
While playing the game, most of the time will be spent with the puzzle game screen displayed. Beware of burn-in (if you have the type of TV susceptible to that)
---------
3rd Update: (july)
Recently got a 19" LCD HDTV and the tiny type was still horrible. Then I got an S-Video cable and BAM! now it's legible! Still tiny but perfectly clear and readable. So if you're playing this on an HDTV you HAVE to get an S-Video (or better) cable and you'll have full enjoyment of this game.
With the right combination of TV and Cable I'll upgrade my rating of this game to 5 stars!

A fun and unique puzzle game Feb 05, 2008
By MiloJRT
"milojrt"
When I first saw this game I thought the graphics were cheesy and I wondered what I had spent my money on. But once I started to play, I realized that the Japanese animation style graphics really don't matter much for overall gameplay. The game is essentially a puzzle game like BeJeweled, where you are matching rows of gems and coins. But each game you play is a "battle" between you and an enemy opponent from the game. It is essentially a role playing game, where you are the warrior traveling the board, but your battles are puzzles instead of anything truly violent or stressful. My biggest gripe about this game is like everyone else on here: the font is waaaaay too small and actually hurts your eyes when you are trying to read it. Some people also mentioned that the game manual is kind of sparse and it is hard to figure out where to go in the game based on what you read in the manual. A hugely useful tip is that there is an extended manual available in PDF format on the game maker's website (www.d3publisher.us). You have to click on game support, then game guides (or walkthroughs) and then choose your platform and game. This is a MUST HAVE when playing this PuzzleQuest. Also, parents can rest assured that it is a pretty clean game for kids (there is no real violence or anything inappropriate) but it might be confusing for some kids. If your child is over the age of 11 and enjoys these types of challenging puzzle games, they might like PuzzleQuest. Most of the people I have encountered who play it are adults.

 Fun, but hard to read Jul 29, 2008
By Sara F
"Ouisie"
Fun game, the only bad thing is that it is hard to read what is happening on screen. And the directions are no help at all.

 Puzzle + RPG Jan 23, 2008
By Kevin D. Furlow
"Toph The Earthbender"
Great game. Blends both puzzle and RPG elements to create an experience nothing short of amazing. Who knew that a puzzle game could be so much fun? If you like Bejeweled, and RPG's, you'll absolutely love this game.

The handheld smash comes to the PS2 Jan 03, 2008
By N. Durham
"Big Evil"
Perhaps you've heard of Puzzle Quest? A unique blend of RPG and puzzle game elements, Puzzle Quest became a bit of a smash on handhelds not to long ago, and now it's made it's way to home consoles, including the PS2. For those who have never played it before, Puzzle Quest puts you in the shoes of a young warrior, and the usual RPG story and gameplay elements are pretty much applied afterwards as well. However, you don't engage in turn based or real time combat per se', but instead battle it out in a Bejeweled-style puzzle battle. What would normally get boring is spiced up with the injection of other RPG elements straight into the puzzle gameplay, making it all the more strategic, as well as addictive. What hurts Puzzle Quest, particularly the PS2 version, is what others have complained about thus far as well: the presentation is very cramped. Reading text is incredibly difficult as the font size is quite small to say the least, which can be quite a detraction from the gameplay experience. Otherwise, for veterans of Puzzle Quest, you'll find that nothing else has changed, but there isn't anything new either. Online play would have been more than welcome, but there is none to be found. That aside, Puzzle Quest for the PS2 is still worth picking up for RPG and/or puzzle fans looking for something different, and the bargain price tag doesn't hurt either.
