Jewel Quest Expedition (DS)

Here's a third for the completely addicted vote...this is a great game, good fun, very frustrating and totally addictive! You have a set time limit per level to turn all the squares on the board gold by making rows of three - every time you make a row, those squares turn gold. As you progress through the game, the boards themselves get harder in shape, and they throw in more obstacles. There are some shapes/jewels which when matched in a 3 undo the gold squares they are on, there are buried jewels you have to uncover, and in some levels you have to turn the squares silver and then gold, so you have to do all the squares twice! There are over 100 ...  Read the complete review

Jewel Quest is incredibly basic and very very addictive. Simply swap the position of two adjacent jewels to make 3 or more in a row. The longer your row the more points you get and crucially, in the early stages of the game, every position on the board thats occupied with the jewels in your row turns gold.

This game is one of the best puzzle games I have played. It has kept me entertained for hours. It is in a very simple format which lead me to think at first that it was going to be quite boring just matching up 3 jewels in a row and creating more jewels but I was totally wrong.

The expedition through Africa is very good as well and adds another dimension to the game. All the puzzle boards are different shapes and get harder as you go along in the game with hidden jewels and blank squares that you have you have to turn into ...  Read the complete review

This game is seriously addictive - easy enough to play but make sure you have time to sit there and do nothing but go from level to level, the only negative for it so far though is the 'story book' between each level - luckily you can skip past it but I guess you are meant to read it so you know what is going on - this did seema little pointless though as it doesn't affect how you play the game at all, this is definately a game for whiling away the hours if you are travelling a long distance and it is easy enough for all age groups to get to grips with it, if you want a game which taxes your brain though then don't go and buy this as you will be seriously disappointed - ...  Read the complete review
