Bejeweled Twist

Once again, Bejeweled Twist proves to everyone that PopCap can make significant changes to its games and still come away with a great puzzle title.

This is a $20 "budget" game, about as low as retail DS games go, and it's as flawless as any "match three" puzzler as I've played, so it gets my recommendation.

Graphically, Bejewelled Twist looks like the PC version and the developers have successfully managed to incorporate all facets of this addictive multiplayer title with all its psychedelic colours and special effects. There's definitely no complaints from me. The music and the sound effects once again resonance back to the original game that with the gameplay, make this an entertaining yet sometimes frustrating experience.

Bejeweled finally comes to the Nintendo DS, providing the addictive match-three gameplay we've become accustomed to.

If you're a fan of Bejeweled there's a good chance you'll also enjoy this variant. Be warned, though: it takes a little time adjusting to the different mechanics, but it does kinda grow on you.

A neat pick-up-and-play variation on Bejeweled and a solid entry for the franchise.

Bejeweled Twist is a decent puzzler for the DS, despite remaining my least favorite entry in the Bejeweled series. It just doesn't have the immediate pop of previous chapters.
