Ever played Doom before? Well if you’re fond of Doom, you'll like this one too. There's 2 other games that I know of that use the exact engine of Doom; Noah's Super 3D Ark & Wolfenstein 3D which are both for the old SNES. But this one's my favorite. Story:9 Chex Quest was a promotional game created by Ralston Foods inc. Back in 1996-1997 they put Chex Quest in cereal boxes. The game opens with a 3D animation that gives you the background. On a Chex shaped space station, the Intergalactic Federation of Cereals Senior Cereal Council is meeting. You learn that the planet Bazoik has been invaded by evil Flemoids, creatures who cannot be destroyed, but can only be transported back to their own dimension. These dastardly creatures eat cereal, but will hatch and multiply if the eggs are placed in any source of organic, nutrition-laden material. All of the cravenly cereal shaped members of the council refuse to volunteer for a rescue mission except Chexter, a member of the Chex Squadron. Naturally, when playing the game, you are Chexter. After you beat all five levels it tells you to go www.chexquest.com to get the next mission. The Chex Quest official website is no longer available so now you can get both games from http://chexmania.tripod.com/ Just go to the downloads section and get the games if you have not already done so. Gameplay:10 Chexter or Chex Warrior controls perfectly. The controls are very easy to learn too. I suggest using a keyboard instead of a gamepad though. Graphics:9 While cartoony, they still amaze me. No bad for a free game. The Flemoids look…gooey. Heh. Music:8 Oh, the music fits this game perfectly! All 5 levels have their own theme. Again, not bad for a free game. Originality:10 Now wait, I know this game uses the EXACT engine as Doom, but come on. You’re a piece of cereal for Pete’s Sake. How cool is that? And the Flemoids ROCK. They ROCK HARD. Well, anything that’s slimy and resembles boggers ROCKS in my book. Overall:10 Don’t say you don’t wanna play this game cause it looks too cartoony. Or that crap about it not having enough violence in it. Just look at the Mario or Sonic games. They both have minimal violence, but they ROCK. They ROCK HARD. Heh. Really though, if you can fin this game on ebay, buy it. I’ve seen it up their hundreds of times for real low prices too. Or you could just download it from the site I mentioned earlier in this review. One of the best things to do is go through the whole level without sending a Flemoid back to his dimension. Wait until the very end to eliminate them. Things get SUPER gnarly then. In fact, they even get bucket! Or maybe if your lucky, pail! Chex Quest Rules!
