Zuma Deluxe (PC)

Zuma Deluxe (computer game) Actually, mom did not play this game; she just saw me playing it for hours, had to hear its music going on and on, and had to see my eyes getting red everyday since I discovered the game. It is one of these games in which you have to fire coloured balls and make them disappear by forming a set of three or more of the same colour. You play the role of a stone frog which has to prevent these balls from reaching the golden skull, and the setting is certain ancient temples somewhere. The music is quite rhythmic and it gives the feeling that if you do not succeed, a prehistoric tribe will cook you for dinner (like in cartoons), ...  Read the complete review

There are so many arcade and puzzle games out there for the PC and despite all of them charging simiar prices, a lot of them also seem to be made up of the same simple concept. This can sometimes leave you feeling a bit disappointed, after paying the price to play a game which you have basically played before under a different title. Jewel Quest style games are a perfect example of this! Zuma Deluxe provides a slightly different experience of one of these ever so basic games and can be bought for approximately £10. It works on the same principle of having to get three matching coloured balls in a row to get them to vanish. However, each level is made up of ...  Read the complete review

I am far too long in the tooth to be up on what is hot and not in the world of gaming and I certainly could not be considered to be a gamer but there are times when I enjoy a game or two on the PC and one of my favourites is Zuma deluxe. Zuma is a bright and colourful game that will keep kids and adults alike amused for hours, it has a very simple concept in that a frog in the centre of a brightly coloured screen shoots balls of varying colours from its mouth into a chain of balls in an attempt to match three or more of the same colour to clear the chain before it reaches the open mouth and disappears. There are 9 levels visible and each has around ...  Read the complete review

Oh Zuma, how i wasted my holiday on you....well wasted, more like productively improved my hand eye co-ordination and let my stress levels build as the levels got gradually harder.... Moving on, Zuma is a classic game of 2+1 = Boom, essentially a trail of coloured balls edge around a path towards a skull. If they reach the skull you loose. Simple enough? To stop this you, the frog shown on the product image, must shoot coloured balls of your own at the ones approaching to destroy them and pull the continually growing chain of balls backwards. When you reach a certain score (more and more each level) the balls will stop coming and you must simply destroy the ...  Read the complete review

Zuma deluxe for the PC is one of if not THE most addictive game I have ever played yet it is so simple in concept and design. It features a frog that shoots balls at a row of moving coloured balls and the idea is to match up three or more balls of the same colour before the chain of balls grows and reaches its destination. You start with three life's and for every five thousand points scored you get a further life and believe me in order to complete the game you want to be collecting plenty lives. There are three zones at the start each with a further three zones within them giving you 9 levels in total but each level has between 5 and 7 sub levels and just ...  Read the complete review
