Customer Reviews of Q-bert
Q*bert My cousin got me Q*bert just as a gift. I like it a lot. Q*bert is the coolest video game character ever. The 3-D graphics are really cool, and the game is fun and challenging at the same time. I think it's cool that it's a remake of an old 80's arcade game.
A Classic!
Clearly, this is a dated video game. If you aren't old enough to vividly remember hearing that President Reagan had been shot by a would-be assassin, you are not going to appreciate this game. It is simplistic and the graphics are crude by contemporary standards. However, in its day, this game was novel and refreshingly fun. It is an old style arcade video game which is essentially a challenging moving puzzle, not a more modern ultra-realistic killing simulation. I spent many hours in my misguided and misspent youth feeding quarters into the Q*bert machine at my local pub. It is a nostalgic treat to be able to waste a few hours in my misguided and misspent middle-age playing Q*bert on my home computer. The fact that the game costs less than one or two nights of quarters in the arcade machine just improves the experience by appealing to my frugal nature. This game isn't slick and it isn't sophisticated. However, it is still fun. They have added a few new features, but I prefer the classic version. They have certainly captured the fun of the original version. Now, if they could only find that cute little co-ed from the dorm next to mine who used to watch me play, it would be like my college days all over again......Recommended without reservations to all baby boomers with receding hairlines. There seems to be a minor glitch with my system, Windows XP Pro. Every once in a while, the sound will stop abruptly until you close the game and restart. It does not happen often and I can be forgiving of this flaw in an old friend, particularly when the game isn't marketed as XP-compatible. However, I did withhold one star and only ranked it with four stars because this game is so simplistic compared to modern games. It hasn't aged well, but how many of us have?
He's baaaaack!
Q*bert for the PC is really great! You can play the classic game, an adventure game, or head-to-head with a friend. Don't worry about those fuzzy looking graphics on the back of the box; if you set the resolution to 600x800 or higher with all the features turned on, the graphics are excellent! (I personally have it set on 1024x768 for better backgrounds.) Don't worry about the system requirements as long as you have a 3D card. I have a Pentium 120 with 16 MB of RAM (waaaaaayyy under the system requirements! ), but I also have a fairly new 3D card, and the gameplay is very smooth with no slow-downs or delays, and I'm also running just about everything off the CD-ROM! :-) This game is a whole lot of fun for new and old Q*bert fans alike!
