Anyone who enjoys playing "line up three" mix and match symbol games will appreciate the Bejeweled series. The designers employ dynamic visual imagery and a fast pace of action to keep players engrossed in the game. The vivid colors of the sparkling gem icons, the excellent sound effects and the exceptional varied background landscapes that course across the screen as players progress through different levels of play contribute to the fun and exciting nature of the game. The newest version of Bejeweled permits eight different modes of play, including an exhilarating timed version that limits sessions to brief play periods.
