PQ2 Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 

 

You gotta love a game that tells you - you are in the top 10% of minds all across the world. At least that is what PQ2 told me when I took their practical intelligence quotient test. How accurate this game is in gauging intelligence is still up for debate. What I know for sure is PQ2 improves upon the original PQ in a number of ways. I also know that this Playstation Portable hand held video game got the creative mental juices in my mind flowing.

The visuals in PQ2 received a much needed upgrade. There are still some bland graphics in places, but D3 Publisher made sure that Nowpro added more colors. This color coding in a lot of the puzzles has made this game more playable in my opinion. Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 gives more choices in terms of the playable character, but still keeps him/her whited out. I did not find any offensive images in this PSP game.

Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 continues some great musical tracks, and wonderful special effect sounds. In fact some of those sounds almost sound like words. Maybe it was me, but those sounds assisted me in solving puzzles. I just wish there had been some hint system for some of the harder puzzles. There are a couple I never did figure out. It would help players after failing 10 times to be given the option of being shown how to solve it.

The one hundred puzzles found in Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 will keep most gamers busy for weeks. The replay value does not end there as there are tests that can be taken, and you can create your own puzzles. If that were not enough you can post your test scores online to see how you rank with other players around the world. I feel that Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 is worth the price of admission.

I have softened to the intelligence testing in Practical Intelligence Quotient 2. Maybe because it showered praises on me. Maybe because it has improved greatly over the original version. The controls are still good, but can be a bit touchy at times. Puzzles can be retried even if the player successfully completes it. I used this option a lot. I had fun playing this PSP game.

Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 is one of those games that can help you. It made me analyze problems from various angles, and that is a great skill to have. I will be recommending Practical Intelligence Quotient 2 to friends, family members, and pastors I know. I hope that D3 Publisher will release a PQ3.
