Game Review (written by Tomes) Added on: 03/21/2008
I have played Solomon's Key on a number of platforms, but by far the Nintendo version is the best, with the least annoying music and cleanest animation and gameplay. The premise is simple: on each level find and get the key, then go to the locked door to get to the next stage. Obviously it gets quite a bit more complex than that, as the levels get more and more tricky, with different types of monsters, block configurations, and flames and such that get in your way. There are bonuses you can get, including little fireballs that can vanquish enemies, however the entire game can be played and won without ever using such things. There are a total of 50-some odd levels, with a number of bonus stages and some strange quest themes such as the zodiac. All in all this is THE BEST puzzle game I have ever played.
