No problems playing iZoo aka Bejeweled 2 on the iPhone, and those gems aren't exactly huge. Don't see how this game would be a problem.

Where did all the experienced comments posters go?

The iPhone doesn't function with a stylus: it requires skin, which is why using your fingernail doesn't work. Something about electrons.

Aethyr: Brawl. Add me.

I'm thinking that D3P owns the IP, so even if the developers AND the fans want it, they won't get it until the fat man sings.

Do any of you actually have an iPhone? If so kindly open a text message and look at the size of the keyboard in vertical mode. Small? Yes. Usable? Absolutely.

All it would take to bring this game to the iPhone is an intuitive enlargement dynamic or some other kind of UI voodoo the iPhone (through its developers) is so great at.

@laxdjames: Fawkner

Anyone for iPhone stylus?

@ThisCharmingMan: I hear that, but if the sci-fi sequel can be played on the Touch...

tk.

Hm, I don't knnow if I'd be able to resist buying this again...I already own it on 360 and DS...

@Mokona: Does your toaster frequently cheat you out of toast just when you think that it's about to pop up?

Adam

Seriously though, this is not a good idea. It's really easy to misclick in Safari, just think of how many times you'll be penalized in PQ because of your chubby fingers :(

Aethyr: Brawl. Add me.

@Crecente is it Fawkner or Faulkner. Its a common misspelling....

But DO WANT

laxdjames

It would fit well. I totally loved the stylus/touch screen control on the DS (but can no longer play it on DS since the XBLA version is so much better)

RemyDuvalle

DO WANT!

I have like 3 versions but fuck it i'll buy it again

Zod-like

Wow, two things I've avoided because they might take way too much of my time (Puzzle Quest, iPhone) and money in the iPhone's case, rolled into one!

@comedy: You have to love the puzzle game first, I think. I am very, very attracted to it, but again I just have balanced that against...well having a life and have decied to avoid it ;)

DaiMacculate

Do those lines look like giant scratches in the iPhone to anyone else?

c-lin' Fanboy

@LittleBigPlaneteer: that was a sincere question, i wasn't inspired even after half an hour of play... you say it takes more than that to understand why it's so addictive? i spose i could give it another shot... but then again i AM pretty lazy.

Kotaku, making game companies recognize we're whores since 2005.

I'd be down for this. The more "serious gamer" games the better on the iPhone...

WaterMedia

This game would be pretty cool on the iPhone. I'd pay for it.

The screen and touch lend itself pretty well. I just hope they wouldn't throw in the gimmicky accelerometer based based controls.

NickGre

For those doubting puzzle quest even before they try it...

THIS IS NOT YOUR MOM'S PUZZLE GAME, I repeat THIS IS NOT YOUR MOM'S PUZZLE GAME

this is more of strategy and jrpg with puzzling elements driving the action instead of cumbersome menus and potions and such

at its core its the puzzle concept but in reality and how the game plays its more like your srpgs and jrpgs

This game ROX. I don't like the iPhone but I wouldn't object puzzle quest spreading to more audiences out there, but then again its iPhone...ughh the sorely overpriced, overhyped, feature lacking phone

KaliKOtt

I play the game before bed to make me tired. I play on my 360 with the Chrono Trigger soundtrack playing in the background. It's fun, but puts me right to sleep after a while, because it's kind of hypnotizing.

My friend used to do the same thing to fall asleep at the end of the day with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance when he was deployed in Iraq ^^

Fitz Rhapsody

This would be difficult because the gems would be teensy. Unless they made the entire grid have less gems...eh. Not the best fit.

Aethyr: Brawl. Add me.

@krunkjuice:

I think termite have a point there if the game is too difficult for player to play and enjoy it, then it's the game's fault.

But Puzzle quest really isn't that difficult...

idrisz

Why not call i "IToy"? My "Nokia 3310" is the real deal :D

squex

@termitehead: So you tire of the game because you aren't good at puzzle games? How can you rate a game based on YOUR skill level at playing it?

krunkjuice

My only gripe about puzzle quest is that the Warrior is overpowered, build up full red bar, then enrage, the move that turns all red gems into skulls, then the move that randomly makes a number of skulls based on half your red mana, and the match is over... this also will freeze your psp with awesome.

@lonecow12: Don't let them get to ya, I also found this game to be tedious and boring... I like puzzle games but playing them against an npc just reveals how absolutely terrible I am at them. It might be fun in small doses, but I certainly can't play for more than 30 minutes at a time before I get tired of it.

termitehead

I've played the game. The concept sounded fun and I thought I would like it, but I didn't.

I don't comment on games I haven't played.

lonecow12

@Moonshadow101: Or seeing as how the screen is ginormous, they could just make the gems bigger?

Thorax

@LittleBigPlaneteer: It works on the DS screen because you have a stylus. You'd have to play the iPhone version with your fingernail or something or they'd need to come up with an alternate input method, I'd expect.

@LittleBigPlaneteer: Stylus.

Downloadable games aren't supposed to have required peripherals.

Moonshadow101

@Moonshadow101:

If it works on the DS screen, it'd work on the larger iPhone screen.

LittleBigPlaneteer

@lonecow12: This game is crack. No no...its more than that. Its super crack. I had the same thoughts on it you have before playing the demo went it came out for XBLA. I played the demo for like 5 hrs. Then I realized I should just buy it. Its like bejeweled but because you get magic and stuff there is more strategy involved. The story is typical and the puzzling is slightly above average but combining gets you something super. Super Crack.

Modus_Operandi

Why not... I mean, even my toaster has a version of Puzzle Quest.

Mokona

@lonecow12:
so is mario, halo, Omgz point n shoot, or I jump on turtle!!!! so fun....

idrisz

@lonecow12: We can't be friends anymore.

It's addictive casual gameplay with a hook that actually engages you into the gameplay served in bite sized chunks.

thegreatpablo

Gems are smaller than your finger. You'd need to zoom in on the grid or something... it'd get messy.

And while we're at it, let's all bitch about other people liking a game that we don't like. I can't imagine anything more sensible or productive.

Moonshadow101

@lonecow12:

Oh look another person who hasn't played it. They're easy to spot :)

LittleBigPlaneteer

Oh dear, Don't blame Tristan if he wants to get his way too!

Also comedy if you only played for 30 minutes you don't deserve to comment on Puzzle Quest. You'd get the point if you played longer

LittleBigPlaneteer

What is so great about Puzzle Quest. Everyone in gaming press freaks out over this game, and I just can't get into it. I'ts bejeweled right? With a crappy RPG storyline? Awesome.

I should also mention that I think Patapon is highly overrated.

lonecow12

Then I would be able to get my ass kicked by Dugog on my phone!

7ucky

sorry, but at what point did puzzle quest get interesting? i played for about half an hour and got sick and tired... was i doing it wrong?
