  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade] The 1987 classic, Crystal Quest, returns with updated graphics, enhanced special effects and Dolby sound! Pilot your ship through 60 waves, collecting crystals and evading the Nasties. These unique baddies - each one different - emerge from portals on each side of the screen.

And don't forget to gather up the goodies in each wave... you can find bonus points, extra smart bombs and even an occasional mega-crystal for massive points! [Xbox.com]… Expand

    The difficulty settings, responsive controls and some nice visual download content to boot make Crystal Quest stand out from a slew of other dual-stick control games.

    Although not up to the caliber of say, Hexic HD, Crystal Quest has fun, fast paced gameplay, and a fun bonus in the form of the a playable version of the original CQ.… Expand
