PlayStation 3 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.
