SBG: Lock's Quest Review

Lock's Quest manages to cross strategy and deliberation at the speed of pencil and paper with live combat, then add an involving story where every single character has a secret or surprise. To do all this and make it appealing and fun for a broad audience across genre-preferences and age is no small feat. Lock's Quest is 2008's best reason to buy a DS.

Pros:
* Good for both extended and quick play
* Story is unique and well-told
* Lots of opportunity for creativity
* Very well-balanced challenge that engages both young and old, newbie and expert

Cons:
* Lock's pathing is sometimes off
* Placement is awkward
* Seems like there are only six music tracks, and they get old quickly
* Sprites hardly have faces
