Review of Puzzle Quest for Wii
We purchased “Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords” a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would give a review of the game.
First of all, it is very addicting and we play it just about everyday. You can play either one player or two player but both ways count toward your overall stats.
The two player version, you just play a puzzle battle against the other player and you gain experience and gold and the more experience, the higher the level you get. The goal is to line up the color disks , the gold, the experience, or the skeletons in rows of three or more. The color disk are for manna so you can cast spells against your opponent. The gold allows you to buy stuff like weapons and armor. The experience helps you work toward the next level. Finally, the skeletons take life away from your opponent. If you win the battle, you get more gold and experience.
In the single player mode, you enter cities and receive various quest and end up battling different creatures in the puzzle battles. The further you go, the better spells the creatures have and the harder the puzzle is. You also gain experience and gold and learn new spells as you go through the quest. You can also spend you money to build up your citadel to learn new stuff like spells.
This game is so much fun and you can spend hours playing without getting bored. Even though the puzzles all seem the same, they are harder the more you play. There is even a way to capture creatures to learn from them.
The game cost $39.95 at Best Buy and I would say it is well worth the price. Most of the games I have played on the Wii is fun but this is by far one of my favorites.
Pros: It is fun. It is challenging. Great if you like puzzle games.
Cons: Would not be fun if you do not like puzzle games. Cost is still a bit high but not compared to other Wii games.
I would highly recommend this game for something a little different than the sports games and the shoot them up type games.
