E is for everyone

My wife and kids are addicted to this game. They are in a contest to see who can get the most points. They play it for hours at a time!

Addictive Game!!!

Title says it all!!! The graphical screen displays, menus, background music and play action sounds of the Xbox 360 version appears to be identical to the Microsoft Windows PC version except for a "pause" button on the screen for the latter. FWIW, a "pause" button in a game like this that you may find yourself playing for hours on end, is an extremely useful feature.

In this game, of which there have been many other PC game company knockoffs - most not nearly as good, you are essentially playing against yourself by continually trying to better the highest score.

Creating and activating as many Power Gems and Hyper Cubes as possible is the key to great in-game special effects and scoring lots of points in rapid succession. The latter are few and far between, especially multiples Hyper Cubes on the Bejeweled playfield at the same time, but always a delight and satisfying when you are finally able to create and explode them to score points.

The "ACTION" (or Timed Mode) is particularly challenging as you are also playing against the clock. In addition, there are three other modes, CLASSIC, PUZZLE and ENDLESS. By way of a friendly warning, playing in CLASSIC mode enables Bejeweled 2 Deluxe to end abruptly when there are "NO MORE MOVES". This does not seem to ever happen in any of the other playing modes.

I have been playing this game for several hours - almost daily - for two weeks yet only (rarely) managed to score over a 100,000 points in ACTION mode a couple of times. I usually get through two or three levels but no higher before time runs out. HINT: I think trying to "save up" Power Gems, especially Hyper Cubes, is key to progressing to higher level. Of course the higher the level the faster the timer runs out. You can just feel the pressure.

This POP CAP sequel to the original Bejeweled has been greatly enhanced to include a new "Puzzle Mode" not offered in the first release. And that earlier version does not have the somewhat elusive and difficult to create Power Gems and Hyper Cubes, which, so get Bejeweled Deluxe "2" and have it all!

The out of this world (wallpaper-like) background screen imagery and original (syntheziser instrumental) musical score are both of high quality, although a bit repetitious during longer play sessions. I only wish for more variety in both cases; a minor criticism.

The Xbox Live leaderboard screen will blow your mind! There are many other players - tens of thousands - who apparently enjoy this game and are VERY good at it; of the four different game modes, some of the highest scores are in to the hundreds of millions! Amazing!!!

In conclusion, this game is more than just addictive, it is EXTREMELY addictive, guaranteed!!!

It was everything I expected...

The game lived up to the online version in every way. I am still waiting to break 100,000 Pts (90,500-ish is my top score)...

The most addictive PC game I've found

Bejeweled 2 is a truly addictive yet simple game. It is very easy to learn to play and it is well executed visually. You can also try it out free before you buy it, (just do an internet search for it.) I strongly recommend that you at least try the free demo version, because even my wife, who has liked a handful of video games and never been addicted to one, plays Bejeweled 2 as much as I play all of my other video games combined.

Good Game Bad CD

Bejeweled 2: DeluxeI want to tell you that this game is fun to play but the CD is terrible. Every day that you want to play the game it shuts down your computer and you have to re-boot. You then have to uninstall and reinstall the game to get it running. I put up with that for a week and then tossed it in the trash. So if you have $14.99 + tax to throw away buy this game. Fair warning...good luck.
