Editorial Review

Arcade purists are already familiar with the quirky Q*bert, a fast-moving game that requires quick reflexes and loads of patience. Q*bert is an odd-shaped orange creature that leaps from cube to cube in a vain attempt to make all onscreen cubes turn the same color. As Q*bert lands on each cube, the color changes. This task is complicated by the presence of several pesky enemies, including a bouncing snake that loves to undo your efforts.

Q*bert is a perfect time killer--which makes this pocket-sized game particularly appealing. While the game does present a significant challenge at higher levels, many players will likely play the game for a quick fix of fun without advancing beyond the initial levels. Q*bert is cool retro fun. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

• Good, clean fun for the whole family
• Based on the classic arcade game

Cons:

• The gameplay and level design could be considered repetitive by more sophisticated gamers

Product Description

Cartridge Only he arcade hit Q*BERT comes to the Game Boy Color. The player takes control of an orange creature that hops around a course built of blocks. The goal is to change all of the blocks to the appropriate color by hopping on them. As the game progresses, blocks will require multiple jumps. Complicating the process, a snake that wants to destroy you hops around the course, and there are two balls that go down parts of the course undoing all of your work. There are more than 40 levels to complete with several that are larger than one screen. Since all of the action in the game moves in diagonals, there are two different control schemes to maximize your fun. If you remember playing Q*BERT at the arcade, you will enjoy being able to play it in the palm of your hand.

Seeing my little Q-bert friend back on the screen brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. I grew up playing Q-Bert and this was just as fun as hanging out in the arcade when I was ten years old. The game play is great; lot's of fun.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Q*bert (Game Cartridge)

I was so excited to see this game in the stores. I grew up with q-bert in the 80's and this new version was so true to the original. I told my brother about it and he got it for his kid, and he(the father) is the one playing all the time. The q-bert game is somewhat challenging but mostly a lot of fun.
