DESCRIPTION

Arcade veteran Q*bert gets a three-dimensional facelift for the Dreamcast in this release from Majesco. Although the gameplay is very similar to the essentially 2D action of the original, the boards of stacked cubes are now displayed in a rainbow of colors and are finely shaded to add to the sense of depth. Slick, Sam, Coily the snake and those annoying blobs are all back in this version, along with some new characters to make Q*bert's work even more challenging. As in the original game, the object is to hop on the cubes in order to change them to a certain color. When all the cubes are the correct color, the game moves on to the next stage. In advanced stages, multiple hops may be required to get a block to change to the desired color. In addition to the familiar pyramid-shaped puzzles of the original, this version features levels laid out in various other shapes and designs, all requiring thoughful planning and quick hopping. ~ T.J.
