D3Publisher (D3P) is ready to rock the portable handheld market with a new title, notably Puzzle Quest 2, while those who spend plenty of time on Xbox LIVE Arcade will be pleased to know that said title will also make an appearance there. This will be the sequel to Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, an Interactive Achievement Award winner for “Best Downloadable Game of the Year,� making sure that those who are fans of the ultimate puzzle-RPG experience will be able to enjoy it in an all-new fantasy universe. For Nintendo DS owners, Puzzle Quest 2 will retail for $29.95 which is a fair price considering the endless hours of gaming and brain-wrecking moments you will have with it.

Puzzle Quest 2 features its hallmark blend of match-3 gem matching and fantasy, with a simple but meaningful role playing experience where players can choose any of four character classes; Sorcerer, Templar, Barbarian, or Assassin. Each character class provides interesting twists during multiple playthroughs as players reclaim the once peaceful village of Verloren from the evil clutch of the demon Gorgon. Players will be able to level up each character to progress through the adventure in Story Mode or dive into Instant Action, Tournament Mode, or Multiplayer Mode for a rich and diverse experience. With the entire Puzzle Quest world accessible on your fingertips in real-time action, players will be able to get a more streamlined experience for instant gratification.

We suppose puzzle fans will have hours upon hours of fun with this title, regardless of which platform you play it on, although the Nintendo DS version would definitely be more playable due to its portable nature.
