    A solid enough game that will suck away a frightening number of hours from your day. [Issue #16, p.78]
  2. Jewel Quest is about planning ahead rather than reacting; the pace is deliberate rather than manic. It's Chess next to Zoo Keeper's Operation.
  3. Jewel Quest sticks a little too close to the Bejeweled formula for its own good, but it does require you to master a different set of strategies.
  4. And yet, one of the best things about Jewel Quest is its own obsessing with its silly backstory.
  5. It's still a solid puzzle game. So if you've got the points, and you're bored of "Bejewelled," check out Jewel Quest.

    A solid, challenging puzzle experience, just extremely limited in terms of content. Also, if you don't like Bejeweled 2, don't bother with this one.

    Feels like an uphill climb against the odds. [Issue#6, p.120]
