![]() ![]() The idea behind the Zen Mode is that you can play an infinite game of Classic Mode with added sounds for relaxation. This mode requires both speed of clicking and an awareness of the surroundings, as if one area of the board gets too cold, you’ll get a game over.īutterfly and Zen Mode were easily the most interesting aspects of the game. In Ice Storm, the only way to keep the growing wall of ice at bay is by creating gem matches. I often found myself playing for a while, simply waiting and hoping for a good hand. This is easily one of the more difficult levels of the game, as you don’t have much control over the outcome. In Poker, you are given ten rounds to create various “hands” of poker by matching the gems. Among them are the brand new Poker, Ice Storm, Zen, and Butterfly Modes. Still, Bejeweled 3 is packed with new ways to play the classic game. The game is basically a variety of modes that use the same basic concept with small tweaks for added difficulty or strategic maneuvering. There’s not much in Bejeweled 3 that’s a huge departure from this core “match-3” concept. Aligning a large number of gems earns extra points and bonuses. This makes them disappear and awards you points. You can swap two adjacent jewels’ positions by clicking on them in order to make a row or column of three or more jewels of the same color. You could do a lot worse with your money.For those not familiar with the million-seller franchise, the game couldn’t be easier to pick up: the screen is filled with a board stacked in rows of multicolored gems. So if you’re already a Bejeweled fan and don’t have 3 yet, get ready to get it on Tuesday afternoon! And if you’re not a Bejeweled fan yet, this really is the best one yet. Because good grief is that thing addictive. And, sure, I work for them, so you could blow all this off as just more marketing hoo-hah, which, sure, it is – but as soon as you get to (SPOILER ALERT!) Diamond Mine mode, you’ll know I was right. I personally didn’t know how much you could vary the formula in ways that would be fun and not too gimmicky, but I’ll be dag-gummed if they didn’t do it. All I can tell you is that if you are a Bejeweled fan, you will not regret it. You probably already know whether you’re going to buy it or not. Seriously, I know there’s not much I can say that’s going to sway you or not. ![]() The satisfaction of knowing you justified me writing this blog post!
