    There's more content here than you can shake a frog at - a lot for 800 MS points - and with XBLA exclusive game modes such as a weekly resetting challenge mode and the one-life, no restarts 'Iron Frog' campaign this is a rare catch, but it fails to detract from the feeling that this game belongs more on a phone that your 360.

    Zuma doesn't quite pop off the screen and infest itself into you brain like PopCap's bigger hits, but there's some entertaining, though slightly gentle, puzzles to be had within its therapeutic confines.

    Did you enjoy Zuma? Of course you did, and you'll enjoy Zuma's Revenge -- just don't expect much more than more Zuma. And if you haven't played Zuma: welcome to our planet.

    Zuma's Revenge, a little frog and shooting balls like a machine gun mix up to a classic match-3 game for all young people and those who want to stay young.

    It's more Zuma, and little else.

    Too easy, too short and too luck-based. [Issue#88, p.87]

    The story the game is about a sapo (the protagonist) is the drift and falls on an island dominated by an evil God, (Zhaka Mu) and his servants. To escape you must defeat him.

    The graphics the game is well implemented in relation to the original game, with well defined contours and colored backgrounds and animated, but still aprenta some basic look we see in games Desktop PC. The visual effects are brilliant, and full of colors and well-designed animal spirits.

    Nevertheless, the overall look of the game does not have Muia complexity, and the menus also have a more clean, and how everything in the game, based on Polynesian themes, such as Tikis.

    The audio] the game features lively music, and sound effects such as PC, simpler. The voice of the presenter has the dominant sound, like the other games, such as Bejeweld and there effects through addictive to listen to, like the sound of rocks crashing (like bubbles bilar) and the effect when they disappear. But although this is not surprising, nor has a good soundtrack and stand out.

    The gameplay is based on other Tile Match - you try to throw stones directionally, to join three or more gems of the same color, so go away, on a board. In the case of this game, you are a sapo, which is usually in the central region of the screen, which acts as a launcher of the stones that alternate between four random colors. Meanwhile, a line pdedras advances by a circuitous route and pre-set toward a mouth-shaped skull, it hit kills you.

    Throwing stones to make the combinations withdraws groups of three or more gems from the board, and besides, there are stones that appear occasionally with other effects, such as stopping the line, reversing its flow or explode other gems. We also see occasional bonus items, and variations between the forms of gambling, eg it is another one that can jump between two locations to serve as a base, or the struggles of heads, every 10 steps (there are a total of 60 stages 6 heads) a fight style "Arkanoid."

    The game has a central mode of campaigning and another four that are unlocked by playing the campaign, and that both modes are oriuentados Ofline and Online. In addition, there are "animal spirits" that are gods who can use points earned in the campaign and that increase attributes for each level that you buy them, such as increasing the speed with which they shoot.

    Summary: it is a good choice of classic game, even for those who like to play these classic tile-match on your PC, and other games causuais (and addictive) as Bejeweld, Peggle and of course the Zuma others, having advantages over the first game, as high-resolution graphics, Power Ups and boss fights.

    But this version could have improved graphics and new ways to more varied gameplay. For 800ms points, it is still a good buy.    … Full Review »

    A good game, but not one I’d play today. I mean, it was fun to play back when I was around 10-ish, but that’s fine.

Eu meio que entendi o porque era um jogo grátis no Arcade, porque é um jogo de celular (o que é estranho, já que ele nunca lançou pra celular) Mas é um daqueles jogos de celular bem medíocres mesmo, que você joga na fila do dentista.
