PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient (PSP)

[Oobgarm]

Has anyone given this a try yet? It intrigues me since it seems to have a (small)tie to Intelligent Qube, and puzzle games are what I enjoy most on handhelds.

I see that some folks in the PSP collecting thread have snagged it. Thoughts?

My copy came on Monday, although I've yet to check it out. I was rather put out by Edge scoring it 5/10, but I'm a puzzle whore, so I was going to buy it whatever score it got. LOL

I thought it was kind of stupid. Pretty much just a 3-D version of Boxxel or Kwirk but with a little more depth.

I was expecting it to be like the original I.Q. for PS1 but it was totally different. Did any of the people that designed I.Q. actually have anything to do with this game, or did they just rip the idea/name off?

I was hoping its like I.Q. but, I will try it to see how it is.

It's not bad, 10 stages with 10 puzzles each, totalling a hundred puzzles within the game. It makes use of simple mechanics like picking up blocks, pushing and pulling walls, pressing switches that will open one door but close another, etc., all in effort to get to the goal within a set amount of time. Depending on how well you did on time and number of moves used, it'll give you a score. Once completing all of them, it'll give you an overall PQ score, which can be uploaded to be compared with other people's PQ scores. Pretty simple at the beginning to testing your patience and planning skills later on, but you'll be engrossed during your time playing it. Plus it's not bad at only $29.99.

PQ and IQ were made by different companies. But! There is an I.Q. Mania coming out soon in March. You can find a small preview of it here:

Is this what they ended up calling Intelligent License or is that still comming?

[n8NMONSTER]

Yea, Intelligence License is what PQ was known as when it first came out in Japan.
