PSP QIX++ - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The original coin-op version of Qix gobbled up quarters back in 1981 when the competition consisted of Kangaroo, Donkey Kong, and Pac-Man. Fast forward nearly three decades and Qix++ has already been released on Xbox Live Arcade to mediocre reviews but that's not stopping Taito from porting the game over to the PSP.

Qix is a simple block-building game. Players control a diamond-shaped vehicle which draws straight lines in order to create squares and boxes. The aim of the game is to isolate an electrical being called Qix in as small a space as possible by building blocks on the playfield while avoiding the deathly touch of the Qix. The PSP conversion will include all of the downloadable content that's available for the Xbox Live version.


When playing Qix, NCS recommends a tree-building strategy where gamers start by building the trunk of a tree with smallish to medium-sized rectangular shapes. The origin of the trunk can be seeded on the center of the screen or you can even start it on one of the corners. Once the trunk has been established, start working on the branches of the tree which should sprout out in at least four or five separate segments. The goal is to use the tree branch design to trap the Qix and box it into as small an area as possible. By accomplishing this feat, players will score big points and attain the temerity to pat themselves on the back.
