Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I will admit it...I like handheld games. My family owns several Nintendo Gameboys, GB Advanced, DS, as well as Leapsters, etc. But we like the handheld electronic LCD games for a quick distraction. We probably have 20 simliar LCD games (Yahtzee, Tetris, Connect-4 are the most entertaining). This game delivers what I expected Pearl Quest..nothing more, nothing less.
The game is not difficult. Swap two "pearls" in order to line up three or more pearls of the same color horizontally or vertically. When you do the matching pearls disappear and the remaining pearls drop down in their place. There are three modes of play: 1 - try to get the highest score, 2 - you have 2 minutes to complete a round and reset the clock, 3 - complete the level as fast as possible. (I like mode 2 because it adds some stress to the game.)
I want to stress that in all three modes you essentially play the same game. The only difference is whether and how you are being timed.
There is a strategy you can use to optimize the number of points received in each move. If you plan your swaps you can cause a cascade effect where more pearls of simliar color line up giving you bonus points. As the game progresses, it gets harder to see where swaps can be made. The Hint option comes in handy in these cases.
The game colors are nice and bright. Don't expect a lot of fancy graphics and animation. It comes with its own stylus that fits neatly in the back. (The stylus that comes with the game is not required. You can use any simliar device...even the corner of a business card.) Sound is pretty bleepy (almost annoying but what do you expect). Uses three AAA batteries (and a philips screw driver to replace them).
I paid $[...] for it. I honestly think that is too much...but I was looking for a few surprise "I was thinking of you" items to stow in my wife's bag for a long and boring trip she will be taking. I think she will find this as nice distraction.
