"Find where the liar hides, so that I may place my boot between his gums!" - Rtas 'Vadum

The plot twist was especially good. I mean, who would have guessed that there were not actually any man eating plants?

Ok, first of all, the sword was overpowered, that map design was awful, and the graphics are OK at best. GOW and COD are much better.

Story was good, but seriously needs more closure. Maybe when the Nylund novel comes out, it will shed more light on it.


ADAPT!

I'm excited for the sequel, I here it has a forge mode where you get to choose your spawn, the location of the crown, and even the obstacles. That is going to be an amazing game for sure.

Actually if you play through a second time I've heard he is around as an easter egg, although I have yet to see him.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I hate to say this, but I can't get behind this game. After being so excite to play, when I finally did I was disappointed. This game just doesn't live up to my expectations of what a top shelf title should be.

Also what's with that cliffhanger ending? So awkward.

I hope MLG brings this into the circuit, I need a real challenge against some pros.

You look unto me now through the profile screen found at http://www.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx. Here we are, mutually faceless, both ones in the Seventh.

The main character's one-liners are so good!

I did, however, find a distinct lack of Traffic Cones...

My face when I won this game

This game is pure win. Definitely one of my new favorites. I found the gameplay to be perfectly balanced.

  • 01.12.2011 9:04 PM PDT

After playing this, I found that Greg Bear wrote a prequal.

Long story short, it shatters everything we know about The Quest For The Crown universe.
Therefore I refuse to except this new canon, even though it is apart of the canon.... I'm just too stuborn of a -blam!

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

I didnt like the sword bloom, nor was I impressed when the main character went into armour lock - but it's ok, using a napkin, some crayons and youtube I have discovered a fix for it that would defeat the maths of any experienced full time programmer.

I am not going to get the novel as it would seriously disrupt and ruin the canon, leaving me to make umpteen threads about it.

Lastly, does any Bungie staff know if this game has BxR in it, because I don't really fancy playing fairly with others..plus it will tide me over until the MLG maps come out for this game.

DLC planned anyone ?

Fantastic man, thanks for sharing.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

So yeah the product planner was a Bear they saw...

Well more armor perms would be nice. More asymmetrical multiplayer maps as well. The current ones are terrible.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

I can't seem to find the crown. Can someone post a Walkthrough?

I'm sorry but this game breaks canon with the books!

Sure :)


Story:*** SPOILER ALERT ***
Questwood Studios Presents...
It was a time of legend. Great heroes wandered the earth, looking for glory. One such hero was Lord Nonesuch. He stole a crown and put it somewhere in his impenetrable castle. It was said that it was certain doom to look for the crown! Because of the man eating plants! But one hero... YOU... was ready to look for the crown.

Be steadfast young warrrior... for darkness has fallen upon the land. And although there are actually no man eating plants after all... there is.......... Quest for the CROWN


Walkthrough:Overview:
At first glance the levels in Quest for the Crown may seem random, but in fact, they have been expertly crafted to allow each level of difficult to be conquered.

Your movement distance is based on the current level number. So, for example in level 1 you move one World Unit (WU) at a time. In level 2 you move two WU at a time. And so on.

Use the level geometry to your advantage. When you can't get to the crown, walk into one of the walls from either the top or bottom to modify you final destination when moving. When done correctly, you will be lined up perfectly to take the crown.


Level 1:
East - East - South - South - South - South - West - West - West - South - South - East - East - CROWN

More level walkthroughs coming soon....

Questwood promised 12 podcasts last year but they didn't deliver! Lame! Anyway the game was fun. I like the part where you get the crown.

Thanks, how could I have missed it? The sheer awesomeness of the game must have blinded me.
I give it 3/4

FinFihlman | Rating: 4 out of 4 (Great)
That was the best game of all time!
Instant 10/10! Correction. 11/10!

I can't believe how the story, gameplay and graphics were all so good! And the balance! Don't get me even started! It was so good, that even though I lost the first three multiplayer games, it felt good!

Yeah, you should really consider making a MLG playlist for all the pros. Right now there seems to be no trueskill system so they just bounce in the games randomly. But it's still better than anything I have played before!

Bungie needs to remake this, but with a few changes that are totally good idea and I have the credentials to make that judgement because I've been playing it since 2002.

*Play as the Man-eating plants. Active Camo mode optional.
*Ability to explode the blocks. (NOT TAKEN FROM BOMBERMAN!!!)
*Lil Merkk to voice over the player.
*Nude scenes of the crown. Would a little fanservice kill you?
*Better color selections. Why give us a "steel" sprite. Give us Black!

Also, where is the MLG Playlist? We, the elite, competitive players need a place for ourselves, catered to our whims. Put in a 3 second delay between move availability, with good sightlines to the crown and lightsaber starts. PLZKTHX.
