Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

The Good
They've got a great combination of RPG and puzzle here. Good artwork, and overall feel of the game is a plus. It's a fun and new combination of these two previously uncombined genres. Works great as a portable, However, the PSP Version is plagued with bugs.

The Bad
On the DS platform, you have to use the stylus to select the gems to remove from the playarea, if you are playing on a rough road, or other bumpy surface you may accidentally tap/select the wrong gems. The DS version uses a "square" screen, so the playfield is slightly smaller. The DS version doesn't have as many colors in the artwork, and the sound/music is a little less.

While a little less colorful/musical, and you have to use the stylus to select could be seen as negatives, the DS version has a huge positive. The DS version doesn't have the game breaking issues the PSP does.

On the PSP platform, reproducible lockups, and overall big bugs made it through the QA of this game. There are many people reporting problems with their PSP copies of the game, causing Hard lockups(remove the battery), as well as overall big game features just not working.

Example: 1 part of this game is collecting companions to help you with your quest. These companions impart special abilities to help you. Much dialog, and quests go into rescuing/befriending these companions, and convincing them to go with you on your quest. Unfortunately, in the PSP version of the game, even after recruiting them, non of them are able to assist you due to a software bug.

Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there, many people discuss other issues involving reproducible lockups, not being able to utilize the powers their characters learn later in the game, and other problems.

The Bottom Line
People love the game, and that makes it's 'brokenness' on the PSP platform all the more disappointing It's actually raised a form of zealotry in the community, with some people using Youtube to document their reproducible crashes.

Only with a good game do you get people going to this amount of work to try and get attention from the games developers/publishers.

So again, Great Game. In my opinion, wait for the PC version(coming soon), or if you have a DS, go for that. Stay away from the PSP version.
