      I'm do my best to cover this one, but it is really hard to make a really long review about a game about solving crosswords puzzles. That isn't anything negative at all though, because i enjoyed every second with "One Word" You have 150 quotes from famous people through out history, and you have to figure them out by finding words. You will have 4 to 6 missing words in each quote, and you have to find them all 1 by 1. It isn't super challenging to figure out the words though because the letters on the screen are just ones that make up the word. So you can some times figure out the word by making up words with the letter combinations on the screen. The quotes are really inspiring, and from some really amazing people. Most of your historical heroes will have quotes here for you to solve and enjoy. From Presidents, Scientists, Inventors, and even Comedians.  I was so glad to see one of my life long favorites Chevy Chase even had a quote in the mix. 


        I can honestly say I really recommend this game to a lot of types of games. If you are a fan of doing crosswords puzzles there is no question it's for you. It brings that experience to your home console perfectly. It's a really relaxing experience, and a great way to spend a evening. It's one of those games you can settle down a few minutes before dinner or bed and just enjoy. Solving puzzles and listening to really quality music feels so good on your television screen. I'd also really recommend this one to fans of Achievement and Trophy hunting. At 6.99 it's really affordable fun, and easy Achievements. You can watch a walkthrough and knock out the complete game in under 30 minutes, but I really think it's worth your time to play it with out the cheats. You can put hours into this with ease with 150 quotes and over 600 puzzles to figure out you could enjoy this every evening for months. 


I was only able to play this on the XBOX so I had to use a controller. I really wonder how this is on the Wii U or Vita. I'd like to see if the touch screen comes into effect. There is nothing wrong with the controls though with controller they were smooth and precise. You just click a letter then move the controller stick in the pattern of the word. I really don't have anything negative at all to say about this one. It's so much fun. I will hate once I've solved everything would be nice if they could random generate this one, and give us fresh puzzles every time we play, or maybe a daily puzzle to keep it all new and fresh. Be fun to have that replay value. Just some suggestions to keep "One Word" part of our nightly routine. 


Challenging Puzzles

Enjoyable Quotes

Tons of Content

Easy Achievements/Trophies

Relaxing Game Play and Music



Not really any cons except I wish there was a way to get more puzzles to enjoy daily and add replay value.



Overall Impression:

7.3

A challenging experience loaded with relaxing puzzle solving, and music. One of those games that you can load up in the evening and unwind.
