On the other hand, there's no excuse for transgaming not to try and fix the horrible image quality, frame rate and half-finished interface. Being able to check status effects and equipment is a must, and there's no reason for a match three game to skip frame rates on the iPhone, especially considering how well the DS handled the game.

It certainly does lack polish... my main complaints are that the music changes abruptly, and that the shop interface is hard to fat-finger (sometimes clicks don't click). The story is kinda cheesy, but otherwise I'm finding it really fun. In terms of play balance, I've gotten myself into a quest with a high HP ogre that I can't pass, but at least I can take some other quests to bump up my stats.

I don't care about the quality of the port because the gamepay is still awesome. Whit the updates they will probably solve the graphical issues anyway. For me I bought the game and I love it !

The images are stretched so badly, it's like they didn't ever try it on anything but a blown up window on the SDK emulator. They better REALLY fix this. I sent an email to their support and they say the first patch will be out within 2 weeks. Considering how long it took to come out, this game is really mailed in.

I got the iPhone version and while the text is small, I also highly enjoy it and fully recommend it to anyone who hasn't played puzzle quest before.

The game is still there but there's clearly issues, even gameplay ones. It's hard to see whenever you are being affected by something like poison and I'm pretty sure that in the DS original, you were able to see your enemy's equipment. I loved Puzzle Quest DS and I did buy this version. I do hope Transgaming patches the game but I would probably not recommend the game until they do. I really wanted to play i Love Katamari but I was disappointed to hear how bad the game was at it's initial release. I waited until the problems were patched and now I have an almost problem-free and enjoyable experience. Unless you really need to play some PQ now, you should wait until Transgaming gets their act together. It is a bad port. The game is still there but there's clearly issues, even gameplay ones.
