This game looks awful, feels awful, and most importantly boring. I never experienced Qbert during their arcade days, but he should have stayed homeless in Wreck It Ralph. What makes matters worst is the game spikes up difficulty around level 35 and has an unfair level 39 that makes the game so luck based that it simply isn't worth playing more than it already was. Don't play this game, let Qbert die the sad pathetic death he deserves not even fitting a dog.

One of the 80’s arcade classics gets a reboot, and the results are uninspiring. The core gameplay remains largely the same as it ever was (there is even the option to play the original games) but what was once new and exciting is now very simplistic and repetitive. The less than precise controls don’t help matters much either and resulted in more than a few frustrating leaps into the abyss. If you were a big fan of Q*bert back in the day you might get a good nostalgia kick from revisiting the game but gaming has moved on a long way since the early 80’s.

The Rebooted version is drab, with the graphics being uninspired, and ugly looking. They made one of the most colorful games in history look like it was left out in the sun to fade for 25 years. It's mostly the same pattern design with texture-less polygon cubes over and over again. They should have taken a clue from the excellent SNES Q*bert 3 and changed the blocks into something interesting (Hats, teeth, gift boxes, etc) which changes from round to round. The controls are the worst though. You can almost never count on moving Q*bert in the right direction. It's a miracle if you don't jump to your death 50% of the time. Just terrible! Then you have the same 2 annoyingly short looped song over and over again. They sound like cheap public domain music tunes, bought cheap! Then you have the classic version of Q*bert which they somehow managed to butcher. The graphics are actually both too sharp and too blurry at the same time it's quite a feat! The same terrible controls which apply to the Rebooted version are here as well. After dying over and over again I started to wonder if it was just me so I started up the Sony PSN release of Q*bert on the PS3 and I was able to clear 4 boards in a row without dying. Why couldn't they build controls like this?! It's a shame they removed the better version from The PSN Store to make way for this. What else... Oh yeah. There is NO PAUSE! on the classic game. Maybe it's a feature to make it like games from before the Atari 5200 when a PAUSE button was such a new feature it was even mentioned in the commercials. Instead of pausing the game, if you press the circle button at any point during the game it instantly closes your game and brings you back to the game menu. I had a great game going and mistakenly hit the button? Tough @!?$&#! Start over! Hope you weren't expecting high score leader board support. In fact, there isn't even a way to enter your initials or show high scores like in the original version. They somehow just cut it right out of the emulated arcade original. Poor Q*bert deserves better than this!
