    Although I'm giving it a 3 - it's not all that bad, it's terribly cynical, and it's the kind of game that can damage the Vita's reputation... but as long as you're not sucked in to actually paying for anything - it's actually not a bad distraction for 10 minutes a day... there are worse things you can do with your time!
    Nice power-ups, clever features, but horrendously restrictive...

    Nice power-ups, clever features, but horrendously restrictive... almost to the verge of unplayable unless you do unlock everything... but ignore all of that, and it's 250mb of space that is better filled with this than being empty!    … Expand

    This is a Bejewled rip-off... Who gives a **** Its still fun and worth your time, especially when its free. Gives you some trophies which is wicked and really displays some interesting motion control usage. Fun, funky gameplay.

    fun little bejewled clone. But it is a clone, not the original. Also the microtransactions are HORRIBLE! Leave these type of games where they belong...on the computer/smartphone. I really hope that developers would stop trying thing.

    Game play wise, it's good. Bejeweled with a social aspect and score chasing with friends. However, the constant demand to buy "jewels" just to play the basic game can get annoying. If you approach it knowing you'll only play one or two brief games a day it works just fine, since there is a once a day scratch off thing that usually nets you at least enough to play one game.

    The gameplay is engaging, particularly with a one minute timer, and the animations and graphics are all very smooth and clear. I'd give this game a higher rating if it weren't for the limitations on number of plays and the scarcity of gems. Also the unnecessarily long startup time connecting to PSN seems unnecessary. But hey, it's a free game and a pretty addicting one at that.

    One of vitas hidden gems, Treasures of Montezuma Blitz is a time consuming addictive game that follows simple bejewelled style gameplay that can often get repetitive however the great features sometimes can be handy and weekly competitions add for great fun between your mates on your friends list

    I enjoy this game. As far as freemium games go, the business model of this game is fair. The heart system (commonly known as energy in other freemiums) replenishes quickly. Also, you don't have to pay for crystals you get them easily enough. Treasures of Montezuma Blitz makes great use of the Vita's rear touch pad, which is something you don't see very often in Vita games. It alsoI enjoy this game.

It also adds new game play elements to the original ToM which makes the game fun for people who have ToM experience in the past. The game uses a level up system which gives you unlocks and rewards This gives the game an addictive quality which is excellent. The only things that I don't like about the game is that it can be hard to know when you are in kicker mode and some of the trophies are ridiculous. For example, you are rewarded a silver trophy for playing the game 100 hours. Overall, I would say give this game a shot.… Expand

    There are many games like this. The power ups are good, but because there are hearts that need to refill, otherwise you can't play, makes the gameplay just suck.

    A decent Bejeweled clone with horrifically expensive micro-transactions and long load times, the Vita's first freemium title is a misplaced first step into the brave new world of free games on portables.
