The world is populated by stupid people, but you can probably prove to everyone else that you’re not of their ilk by uploading the score you get from PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient. The game (which isn’t really a game – we’d consider it more of a mental massage) has scored pretty decently on its own, which suggests that this title may actually be one of those titles your parents (assuming you still receive an allowance instead of a salary) won’t have a problem picking up for you.
Here’s what the world of gaming’s been saying about PQ:
IGN [7.4] – “Thankfully, PQ boasts a variety of well-designed puzzles. They're engaging and challenging, without being so mind-devastatingly hard as to dissuade you from continuing. What makes playing the game tense, though, isn't so much the severity of the puzzles but the fact you know that you're being graded.”
GameSpot [7.0] – “PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient, however, takes the intelligentsia pedigree of puzzle games a step further, asserting itself as a legitimate gauge of your own mental capacity. It's not entirely successful to this end, but if you can look past its weird, cocky scientist vibe, PQ still offers some challenging puzzles that put a unique spin on some puzzle game standards.”
GameSpy [3.5 out of 5] – “PQ isn't a perfect game, but it's still a darn good puzzler. Maybe I was simply falling for the game's gimmick, but given the amount of fast thinking that I was putting into those puzzles, I really did feel as though the game was measuring my intelligence.”
