Costume Quest Critic Reviews

And with its well-directed pacing, the game ends exactly when it needs to, leaving you satisfied and wistfully yearning for more.

It's a real treat watching a monstrous, spidery pack of French fries poke a goblin to death, and since attack and defense require timed-button presses à la the Mario & Luigi RPGs, the fights hold players' attention.

So is Costume Quest worth picking up, even if you're not a huge RPG fan? Absolutely. It's great as both an entry point for players that don't have a lot of experience in the genre, and it also serves up a lot of fan for people that aren't really RPG fans to begin with.

Overall, the result is an efficient, memorable, and entertaining DLC release that's easily worth the $15 budget price.

Games like Costume Quest are a breath of fresh air in a sea of FPS's and hardcore RPG's. I welcome any more games like this.

"Quotation Forthcoming"

Immediate and funny, Costume Quest is a funny arcade game, one you should really try on Halloween night.

The finished game is both fun to play, and wonderfully representative of a time of innocence and adventure. Combined with Double Fine's development sensibilities, it's the perfect combination for success.

Costume Quest is a fun, well-presented Halloween tale well worth the purchase.

Double Fine recently made the decision to break up their team into small groups, allowing them to release a number of smaller titles, rather than one big game every few years. Costume Quest is the first of these sort of games, and if the quality is any indication, they have made an excellent decision. I can't wait to see what's next.

All-in-all Double Fine's Costume Quest is rather straightforward on paper, but it's the excellence of the game's design that brings it to life and gives the world around you character.

This is an easy game to lose yourself in for as long as it lasts, and, by the end of the adventure, all I could think to myself was how much I'd like to see these characters again come next All Hallows' Eve.

It's another delightful look into the minds of children; a window into their vivid imaginations, and the wonderful places their ideas and dreams can take them – and you.

If Costume Quest was a full-retail game, we'd recommend it with a few caveats. But seeing as its fifteen bucks, fans of RPGs/Halloween/Neglecting their children should pick it up without hesitation.

By effectively clinging on to the Halloween aesthetic from beginning to end, Costume Quest evokes the often forgotten nostalgia of childhood. It manages to create a fantastical world without resorting to high fantasy. As something that both kids and adults can relate to, Costume Quest is a heartfelt reminder that with the right viewpoint, everything can be awesome.

It's a fairly simple adventure with equally basic RPG combat, but that's exactly why it works.

With a Christmas download already set for December release, it is a happy little title, simple enough for the kids but with a nostalgic vibe and enough humour to draw in those a bit older.

Costume Quest glows with creepy artistic charm.

With great design and lots of humor, Double Fine's latest game is perfect for Halloween.

One of the biggest surprises this year is Costume Quest. It's a pretty weird Role Playing Game with a unique setting and gameplay, that will be a bit repetitive. Anyway, THQ delivers with Costume Quest a great tilte on the PlayStation Network that has a few fantastic elements.
