9/10

Pac-Man Championship and its DX sequel set the standard on how classic 80's arcade games should be remade. Q*Bert: Rebooted unfortunately misses that mark by a wide margin.

Q*Bert: Rebooted comes with two modes: Q*Bert: Classic, which is an emulation of the original arcade game, and Q*Bert: Rebooted, which is an enhanced remake of the original. Rebooted gameplay is similar to the original, except movement can made in six different directions instead of four, making it much easier to evade enemies. Along with a couple new enemies and the omission of Ugg and Wrong Way, the difficulty progression is very slight and very repetitive, as the same five maps are used in the progression track. It gets only somewhat difficult near the end of the game, and when you do finish the last level, it bugs out and does not go to either an ending or credit scene.

Q*Bert: Classic is still the better game, but this emulation is quite bad. The controls are not very responsive. The sound effects for Ugg and Wrong Way are missing. The behaviors of Sam and Slick are also incorrect. They do not reverse the color changes that Q*Bert makes; instead they actually help Q*Bert by changing cubes to the target color.

Q*Bert: Rebooted is recommended for arcade game nostalgics who don't care about quality or accuracy in their games. You are better off finding a Q*Bert ROM to play on an arcade emulator.
