Zuma Review
Zuma was the first casual game I downloaded and made me a believer that purchasing these games was worth it. I had enjoyed playing Zuma online and my husband convinced me to buy the full version. I played the game endlessly and enjoyed the many features the full game provided.
You explore the temples of Zuma by shooting different colored balls and making matches of three or more. As you continue to uncover hidden temples, the balls begin moving faster and the levels start with longer chains. A level ends by scoring points to fill up the gauge, which will stop new balls from appearing in the chain, and clearing all the balls on screen. There are several ways to score more points ending the level faster thus giving you a time bonus, such as gathering coins or shooting a ball through a gap. If you find you need a little help managing the chain of balls, there are power-ups you can collect when making matches. Some of these will push the chain back, slow it down, or blowup several balls all at once.
Zuma is probably my favorite game. I love the graphics and find the pace and style of the game perfect. The levels gradually get more challenging and while they repeat there is plenty of variety to keep the game from becoming boring. This is a game where everything comes together (graphics, game play, sound, etc.) making it a must try for anyone who likes casual games.
