But as familiar as it is, this iteration of the beloved game will keep you glued to the chair, the exchange of valuable hours of your life and lose the power of ruby ​​red and blue diamonds.

If you are a beginner Bejeweled, here's how it works. Different colored jewelry complete an eight by eight board. For dry, you can create groups of three or more gems by swapping it with a gem located right next to, above or below. This causes the beads to disappear, and those above fall, allowing new stones that display first. Matching four or more gems together creates a special pearl that will explode and remove the jewelry environment when it is adapted, jewelry more suitable, the most powerful of the explosion. Matching solid colored beads in a model T or L creates a rock star that will zap away all gems of one color. The most traditional experience Bejeweled is in classic mode, which returns in this sequel. Here you keep matches do until you run out of moves.

As good as the classic mode, Bejeweled 3 is at its best when there is a sense of urgency. If you need more time to delay a challenge, how the hell is the basic test of competition.

One of the best ways is to ice storm, in which the columns of the elevation of the ice at the bottom of the table and must be destroyed, making games. It is because vertical and horizontal have different effects on the ice, you have to do a fraction of a second against possible multiple matches.

Other modes for different types of excitation. Fashion Butterfly is a great addition, where the precious stones with butterfly wings grow a row after every match you make. The spider at the top of the screen is too want to eat these beauties, you must eliminate them before they reach the top. When many butterflies are on the screen at once, you must plan your moves carefully, and matching butterfly causes flutter after a whirlwind of wings satisfactory. Quest mode modes turns into real-life challenges, for example, you must clear a number of butterflies or digging up a certain amount of gold before you can proceed to the next stage of your journey. This mode offers the standard Bejeweled gameplay a nice feeling of progression that keeps you pushing forward to unlock the next round of puzzles. Then there's the poker mode, eliminating the importance of the jewels of the flame and combos, he asked instead to create poker hands by matching gems of specific colors.

Zen Mode is another new offers and Bejeweled 3 attempts to satisfy the fans surrounding the nascent genre of the game illustrated by news such as flow, flower, and UnderGarden. He wants to relax, but the result is not strange to relax as much as cheesy - the cheesiness provides its own form of entertainment. It's an endless mode where you can activate the relaxation tape sounds like the seagulls and waves, and perhaps you will be able to calm your nerves in this way. Other options in this state are less likely to relax, you laugh, though. You can beat mantra messages with subjects like "weight loss" and "positive thinking", but these statements ("My body is perfect right now") is oldest and craziest inspiration. You can also turn to other functions such as breathing indicators, but they seem lost. Good atmosphere games are successful because each element is built around a single idea.

Talk of the classic gameplay Bejeweled, but that continues to inspire the same need for more throughout the year for his predecessors. Jewels bright, glass-like plink plink-noise successful matches, and the deep bass, and the announcer shouting, "excellent", with the serious and the splitting of the wizard helps the game stay a spell. However, this spell is cast first, and despite its new game modes and a clear call to 3 Bejeweled is about as safe a route as a developer PopCap Games have taken. Match three or more gameplay has not evolved, it is difficult to shake the sense that you have played this game before. Price $ 19.99, you could reasonably expect more of Bejeweled further - at least, online leaderboards and achievements, Steam, which allows you to show your skill stones. Unfortunately, Bejeweled three characteristics are what makes them a score disappointing omission focused on the big puzzle for further development.

But it is a safe approach, which legions of fans happy when Bejeweled change the jewelry and the race against time to improve the previous results. Bejeweled 3 is a game that will appeal to almost anyone, if you're a longtime video game player or a grandparent. And best of all new game modes are so much fun that there is still reason to splurge on this extension and let the highest point in price - even if you explore the depths of every game of Bejeweled and the clone exists. Do you have a couple of minutes to kill, or do not want to get lost for an hour or two, something here to meet, although you will certainly be hit by a powerful deja vu.

The condition is as addictive as ever, encouraging you to plan your trips so you can create cascades down from gems, to build a high score and avoid the heart-sinking "no movement" message, which includes your combinations Race stagnate.

This can be incredibly fun and intense, and is probably the best way to choose, if you have a few minutes to spare and want to run fast. Diamond Mine offers the same type of stimulation. In this mode, you need to explode jewels at the bottom of the screen to dig the ground, where the artifacts and gold deposits are on hold. The term to maintain the high level of excitement and fun to watch well-planned explosions to excavate parts of the country.

This is an interesting variation, and Las Vegas style and visuals that are a hot jazz of his reward for his well-considered move. The senseless nature of combos in this mode, however, is less happy than others.

Bejeweled 3 layers of its eccentric concepts in a game that was not created to support them, and it's a combination that does not gel. However, an endless mode is always welcome, and although the pleasure you get is more fragile than the Zen, it's fun anyway.
