    A nifty little gaming card of good-old addictive goodness, and a bargain bin must-have if I ever saw one.

    A competent rehash of the Bejeweled formula, 7 Wonders of the Ancient World delivers a classic puzzle experience, but it doesn’t stray from the beaten path.

    Just to be clear, there’s very little that 7 Wonder of the World offers that’s lacking from every other DS puzzle game out there. It’s a Bejeweled clone that isn’t quite as polished or focused as that game.

    This version offers nothing that regular puzzle-players won't have seen before, bar some cute animation. [July 2008, p.73]

    Not at all ambitious, it settles for a familiar formula, just changing the scenario.

    7 Wonders is a competent clone of a competent Bejeweled clone that does little to set itself apart.

    7 Wonders has an interesting premise, and the tidbits you learn about the seven different wonders are fun to read, however interesting premises and random factoids don’t add up to a great game if the gameplay isn’t there.

    The game is a port of the early 00's PC game. Akin to Bejeweled with the added twist of building the 7 wonders of the ancient world. The gameThe game is a port of the early 00's PC game. Akin to Bejeweled with the added twist of building the 7 wonders of the ancient world. The game offers enough of a unique challenge within the genre. The music is charming and sets the tone. The graphics are the only real thing holding it back as it doesn't really push the console, but the game runs so smoothly it almost doesn't matter.… Full Review »

    Addictive and fun. Instead of just playing just for high scores, you complete levels and work your way up to completing 8 levels in total Addictive and fun. Instead of just playing just for high scores, you complete levels and work your way up to completing 8 levels in total with limited lives. If you run out of lives, you have to start your quest to complete the 8 levels all over again and that aspect is a bit of a bummer but that's what makes you coming back for more. I assume once you finish the game you may get bored of it but it's not that easy.… Full Review »

You have to blow up the background while you'r emaking your threesomes. It makes it more interesting than Bejeweled. This is turning into one of those "I'll-go-blind" games. I saw it at Wal*Mart along with the Mahjong game and figured it would be fun. It is!… Full Review »
