You're just a little spaceship trying to collect crystals while dodging mines and various creatures. [Jun 2006, p.61]
Instead of simply playing like a blatant Geometry Wars clone, Crystal Quest takes some cues from Pac-Man, making it a great game in its own right.
It is the perfect accompaniment along with other shooters like Mutant Storm, and Geometry Wars, only without the impossible factor attached.
Crystal Quest's issue is that it never manages to absorb all your attention and mental focus like "Smash TV," "Robotron 2084" or "Geometry Wars."
Crystal Quest tries its hardest to bring a slower variation of the style and substance that Geometry Wars so expertly crafted but it falls short of delivering the overall fun factor that other XBLA games have.
As brightly as it burns, it's an all-too-brief fix that doesn't leave you wanting more.
Tat. [Issue#5, p.120]
