    I enjoyed the game so much, I immediately tracked down its predecessor, Sparkle Unleashed, also available on Xbox One.

    Even if you already have the Zuma games, Sparkle 2 is worth getting for match-three puzzle game fans.

    Sparkle 2 is a puzzle game that provides a nice surprise thanks to its user-friendly approach.

    A Zuma-like tile-matching video game, with an effective gameplay also due to a couple of new ideas. It could have been greatly benefited by a more inspired artistic design.

    In conclusion, Sparkle 2 is a well-made marble game even if you have never played any of its past iterations. It is the most played puzzle game on my console by far because of its casual nature.

    Sparkle 2 is not a game that is going to keep you entertained forever, but as a stand alone puzzle game it’s a great time filler amongst the other titles that you may be wanting to play.

    Probably better suited to a smartphone but mildly diverting for an hour or two. [March 2016, p.87]

    Despite not really doing anything new and it’s repetitive nature you still can’t go wrong for under 10 bucks.

    In conclusion, Sparkle 2 is a lot like Sparkle Unleashed, which in turn was a lot like PopCap's Zuma.

    Sparkle 2 is a clone of an almost 20 year old game and does nothing interesting with the core idea introduced in Puzz Loop.
