This is an excellent game for both lovers of deep and rich RPGs and simple games like Bejewelled. In fact you could call this Bejewelled RPG. It has an incredibly deep RPG system that will keep you occupied for hours together and a simple gameplay that is easy for anyone to pick up. Dont get put off by the occasionally difficult opponents because the longer you play, the better you get and learn to advance. Picking the right skills, mounts, spells and companions makes a big difference.
All in all, this game along with Lumines and WipeOut makes my PSP get much of the gaming action at home.

This game is a great way to pass the time on trips. It's a more in-depth Bejeweled type game where you have a hero you level up while playing. If you enjoy games like Lumines or puzzle games in general you may like this game.

The only thing I don't like about this game are a few bugs I have run into. They are minor performance problems were the game may slow down after defeating an opponent, but these can be overlooked and are nothing major.

Challengingly bland...

fun?! ZERO is what I should be allowed to give this!

Since I can't properly rate this, I'll have to rate it here in the commentary.

How much fun is this game?.......... ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO
How do you rate this game overall? ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO

How I can count the ways on how freakin' awful this game really is. Maybe for the puzzle twitch junkie this will get their buzz on. But for me, it's so bad I can't describe the hate I have for this turd.

puzzle quest not as good as it sounds

I wanted to surprise my son (15) for Easter so I didn't ask him for the name of a new game. This was in the 2007 list of best games and sounded good. However, upon loading it, the writing is very tiny, even for his eyes, and the game not very challenging. He played it about four times and now is back using old games he had.

Difficult Quest, but addictive

I happen to have the PS2 version of this game, and when i purchased my PSP, this game was at the top of the list. It's just plain addictive, even with the slowdown and load times.

It's easy enough to pick up and play, and even though you will cringe at how the enemy "seems" to know what's coming down, (hence the difficulty) even though you can't see it, when you hit you first epic combo, you'll be caught.

Pros:
Charm
Ease of play
Addictive gameplay
Difficult but excellent AI

Cons:
Load time
Slowdown during certain spells

Even with the cons, this is still a 5 star game, period.

Everything people said highly touting this game is true. Deep fun puzzle game that appeals to people who love Bejeweled and even Magic: the gathering. I bought one, and days later am back to buy 2 more for my friends.

Horribly Addictive... that's a good thing.

I know what you're thinking, "It's just a puzzle game with a tacked on cheesy story." Well, the truth is the story and RPG elements make this feel like much more than a puzzle game.

Basically battles are played out in a turn-based, bejeweled-like puzzle. You cast magic during the battle. You level up your character. The neat thing is that you play different variations of the puzzle to accomplish different events. There's strategy and choices to be made, and it gets very engrossing. It's long too. You'll be playing for quite some time... then you might come back to play again with a different character.

Make no mistake about it. This is not an action game. It's a puzzle, RPG-ish, strategy-ish game. It may move too slowly if you just want a hack and slash fix. If you like puzzle games and RPGs, then this game will take over your PSP for a good long while.

Highs:
Story
RPG elements
Magic to use in battles
Feels like you really EARN your wins
Capturing enemies and learning their magic
Taking over other cities
Length
Looks nice on the PSP
Themed music
It's available on every game system and PCs too.

Lows:
It sucks your time
You secretly sneak your PSP around to play every chance you get
Feels like CPU is too good sometimes
You'll lose battles frequently (but you feel compelled to come back for more abuse)
Battle same type of enemies more often than you'd like
3D map might have been cooler

Sweet little RPG with a twist

I am a not much of a puzzle fan but I love RPGs. I just got a PsP for X-Mas and this was one of the titles that i picked up. I am pretty far into the game and have to say that it does get a little tough and that you may find yourself facing the same enemy several times before you are "victorious". Although it is not your typical rpg and whether or not you are into those match three like "whatevers" I highly recommend this game..

When I first decided to buy this game, it was only because I had seen it on every other console and as an Amazon Black Friday deal of only $10 w/free shipping, I figured why not. Even when I first fired the game up, I was still a little hesitant. Now that I am well over 60+ hours into the game, I am still hooked. The game is like Bejeweled with a purpose and RPG flair. It is unbelievable as to how quickly you get hooked on leveling up and capturing creatures and laying siege on the neighboring cities. The only reason why I gave the game an overall 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the AI sometimes cheating a little in how your opponent sometimes seems to get many more skulls than you do in battle. It does make the game more challenging though and at least you aren't left with no experience when you lose a battle. An excellent game overall and well worth picking up if you enjoy puzzle and or rpg styled games.

I've now spent hundreds of hours with this title, turned on a number of friends to it. If you haven't played this on your PSP (or any other platform it's on) you should.

Easy to pick up and play, single battles can last from 10 minutes to a half hour, which is a nice format for portable platforms.

Don't let the "casual" facade fool you. This is a gamer's game worthy of anyone's collection.
