The New Retro!

User Rating: 8.1 | Crystal Quest X360
CQ is a collect, dodge and shoot game which has a lot of charm, is slightly silly, but on the higher levels of difficulty is an adrenaline fueled challenge which is the equal of any Geo Wars veteran.

Your ship navigates around a single screen, using the now familiar two joysticks method; (one shoots, one fires) with the object of collecting all crystals on that level, while avoiding hostile and sometimes bizzre bad guys and mines. You then exit via a portal which warps you to the next, harder, level.

Presentation-wise, it lacks a little something, but in a back-to-basics, no nonsense way I'll win you over. At 400 Points, it's well worth a go; and may well appeal to girlfriends and partners who you are trying to move on from Bejeweled.
