    It’s unfortunate that the Xbox controller can’t possibly be as accurate as a mouse (this game originally was released for PC a few years back) but you actually get used to it quickly enough.

    For roughly about $10, this is a no-brainer for puzzle gamers.

    It will delight and challenge both young and old alike with its bright colors, enchanting music, and addictive gameplay.

    Zuma should downloaded immediately; it's one of XBLA's finest.

    Zuma Deluxe is a enjoyable and hearty title, and the perfect time killer.

    The stages get progressively more challenging as more-complex layouts and additional ball colors are introduced, and while the underlying gameplay really doesn't change much, it's still an engaging way to pass the time.

    Sooner or later you're going to be angered by options you can see but can't actually play. [Issue#23, p.97]

It is very challenging but worth playing none the less. It is one of those games that once you pick it up you can't put it down. This is much better than Luxor 2 which is a crap knock off of this. If you like puzzle games or something with a challenge I highly reccomend this title.… Expand

Perseverence pays off, though, and I spent more hours playing this game than all other XBLA titles I tried or bought, combined(not a lot, but some).… Expand

    Aussi est-il vraiment étonnant de voir un tel déchet du pixel atterrir sur une console HD telle que la Xbox 360. Et a fortiori sur PC ! Répétitif rapidement et rapidement répétitif, Zuma passe aussi vite que la danse à gogols de l'été ; son effet est celui d'un gros pet qu'on fait semblant de ne pas remarquer. Faites des mots croisés, c'est moins con.    … Expand
