One of the strangest and most-loved portable titles in recent years is coming to the Android Market, and if you’re a fan of either puzzle games or role playing games, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Puzzle Quest 2, originally released on the Nintendo DS last year, combines a meandering swords and sorcery story with, well, puzzles. It’s basically Final Fantasy meets Bejeweled… no, wait, keep reading!</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Despite its bizarre premise, the original Puzzle Quest and its sequels have garnered almost universal praise from the gaming press. The addictive gameplay has won it a lot of fans on the DS, Xbox Live Arcade and PC, and now fans new and old can squeeze in a quick dungeon in on a bus ride or what have you on their Android phone. Puzzle Quest 2 has already been released on iOS and Windows Phone 7, but we’ll forgive Namco their uninformed decision-making this time.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Puzzle Quest 2 is a “freemium” game; the core app is free on the Android Market, but the full unlock is $4.99. Additional character classes are two dollars a pop. That seems a little high for a mobile app, but remember, this is based off a full Nintendo DS title (the complete download is almost 300 MB) so the main story mode should last for a lot longer than your average $3 game. Specific models weren’t mentioned, but phones and tablets with 800 x 480 screen resolution or higher are supported.</div> </div> </div>
