[edit] Gameplay

The game consists of a mix between traditional scrolling shooter elements and minigames.^[2] In the middle of the action of the shooter portion of the game, one of the girls will announce that they're out of "Winx", and the game will move to any of many different type of smaller games. Two such games include a Dance Dance Revolution style minigame, and another game pits the player to stop bugs from an invading a garden.^[2] The interruptions of the minigames are one of the most criticized parts of the game by reviewers.^[2][3]

[edit] Reception

The game was panned by most critics, particularly for the low quality of the minigames. GameZone gave the game a four out of ten and wrote, "The mini-games are boring, unoriginal, and often cheap and frustrating."^[3] IGN gave the game a five out of ten, reporting, "Winx Club: Quest for the Codex is unfocused and unpolished."^[2]
