Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords was one of the biggest surprise hits of the year, its word-of-mouth success prompting a release on every relevant platform -- first the PSP and DS, then Xbox Live Arcade and Windows, and this week, the Wii and PS2 (with a Mobile version in the works). But with over eight months past since Puzzle Quest made its debut on handhelds and two months since its first console port, are you still interested enough in this game to pick it up?We haven't seen any previews or impressions so far, so we can only assume that developer Vicious Cycle Software hasn't added anything to the original game beyond the bug fixes and balance tweaks that were already in place with the Xbox Live Arcade version. It's safe to assume that there won't be any sort of online functionality either, which is really disappointing when you consider that cheaper versions of Puzzle Quest have had support for online multiplayer battles for months now.

I was actually looking to pick this up as I hear it's only $30. Hopefully, by some miracle, online multiplayer will be in there.

The lack of online kills it for me.

I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of online. I've tried to find a game on XBLA every night for a week and whenever I search for games, none are found. This game just doesn't have the online multiplayer staying power that some others have.
I'd buy this game just for the single player experience, it's worth it!

I won't be picking this up (as I already have it on XBLA), but if you haven't experienced it already on some platform, you should give it a go! It's wonderfully addicting (ok, just one more quest, then I'll go to bed...).

i've heard that it DOES have online...do you have any actual reason for saying it doesnt have online or are you just guessing?

It's a great game, but if I didn't already own the PSP version, I'd just buy whatever is cheapest at the time. I doubt there's going to be any reason to pick Wii over anywhere else.

I wouldn't dare pick up the Wii version.
Not because it's a terrible game, but because the DS version CONSUMED my life.
