This game just lacks in too many ways to cost this much. Should have just been a 400 point game.

Unfortunately I would find it very difficult to recommend Coffeetime Crosswords to anyone and instead I would say stick to pen and paper, it's more portable and a lot cheaper as well as being more user friendly.

While the game is almost as fun as playing with a pencil and paper, it just seems to be lacking a personality that will leave you wanting to play puzzle after puzzle.

Put your $10 toward a newspaper subscription instead. [Oct 2008, p.85]

In all honesty though it's too pricey and the standard text input method will drive you absolutely crazy within ten seconds of trying to enter a word.

The controls are awkward, there’s no Xbox 360 Chatpad support, and the puzzles are mediocre at best (and repetitive at worst).

Insultingly simple and clumsy Live Arcade puzzle game, unworthy of your time.

Console Monster
At 800 points it’s difficult to recommend Coffeetime Crosswords to anyone but the super bored Crossword obsessive, who desperately needs those extra gamer points and achievements.
