![]() The last thing you see before seeing your lunch once more.īejeweled 2 isn’t a game you play when you feel like playing video games it’s there solely to eat away at your life. Hold on to your stomach contents or thar she blows, matey! Especially when playing in Hyper Mode, the fast transitions between levels will make you feel like you’re heading for Davy Jones’ locker. This epileptic attack waiting to happen is downright nauseating and while it isn’t detrimental to gameplay, it’s really in poor taste and does put you off. Seriously this game kills so much time, it should be classified as time genocide.īut the most irritating flaw is the transition between levels via some sort of wormhole. Bear in mind though, that once you start playing, you’ll probably waste hours before you realize that this game will never stop. ![]() I suppose you’ll only turn to it, when you can’t be bothered to do anything else. Sure, it still sucks you into the highly addictive gameplay, but without a set goal, you won’t resort to it often. In addition, Endless Mode doesn’t really offer a lot. ![]() So stick to that mode in a playthrough or the others, but not combined. A word of caution however: If you’ve been playing the fast-paced Hyper for a while, taking a step back to slower modes will frustrate you and might cause you some severe motion sickness. The board moves at dazzling speeds and the timer follows the same pace, so if you got stressed by Action, Hyper will own your world. This is exactly like Action, but on meth and steroids combined. You can play these different modes, until you advance far enough to unlock new things, such as the frantic Hyper Mode. And lastly, Endless is fairly self-explanatory as well, as it is just a never-ending line up of gems, until you forget time itself.īejeweled 2 also offers hints, should you not grasp its complexity. Puzzle is just that: A series of puzzles, where you need to complete the gems in such a way that the game board is cleared. The higher the level you go, the faster the clock will run down on you and that puts an exhilarating fire to your shins. This (psychological) luck factor may cause some minor frustration, but the basics do offer a quality gameplay experience.Īction is the best mode as it adds a timer to the completion of gems, with accelerating time speed with each level. Although this works well on its own, it does feel like you can only clear a set amount of moves, instead of continuing on skill. In Classic you line up gems until no further moves can be made. To keep you playing, the starting menu offers you a series of modes: Classic, Action, Puzzle and Endless Mode, with additional hidden modes to unlock, such as Hyper Mode. There are a few simple exploding effects and such, accompanied by the fitting sound for it, but it’s still in the simplicity state of mind. By the sideline you’ll also have a hint button for when you’re lost and a menu option. An 8 by 8 gem board, together with a time or progress bar is all you need to get you going. A clean, simple interface and graphic style keep your mind and eyes on the one thing important in the game: the board. ![]() That should be enough for you to understand the deep and complex mechanics of the game.īejeweled 2 is presented in the web browser clarity it should be presented. If that lightning should strike another special gem, those effects still apply, so you can create all sorts of combo’s to keep the gems going. When you match any one gem with this nifty thing, it will cast a mighty lightning strike upon all gems of the same kind and clear them from the game board. As an added bonus, you can strive to complete 4 gems in a row, to make an exploding gem, destroying all adjacent gems or you can line up 5 to create a cube. You repeat this process until you ultimately fail that’s it. It’s quite simple: When you align 3 or more gems of the same kind, those explode and disappear. And that is exactly what PopCap Games brings to the table with their game Bejeweled and this sequel, cleverly dubbed Bejeweled 2.īasically, this is the game which created the “match 3” system on which hundreds of lesser able people shamelessly copied their game. This goes to show that once again less is more. In any case, playing connect 4 was awesome as it was a game with a simple premise, but with thoughtful and exciting gameplay. Don’t worry, daddy didn’t love you, but I do a whole lot. Remember the olden days when you used to play connect 4 at your gran’s house, when you came to visit? If you don’t, you’re one sad loser and I’m sorry your childhood was filled with flesh-eating clowns and elderly binge drinking. ![]()
