This has to be one of the best challenging games on the market. Between myself and my other half we have spent hours upon hours playing this game. It is one that when you don't complete the level you tell yourself "Oh, I can do better than that...." and then a few hours later you finally have to have someone drag you away from the computer or shut off the power to get you away from it. Awesome game for adults as well as pre teen and teenagers, just beware! You may not see or hear from the gift recipient for many hours after receiving this.

Great game and you can try it free online

I guess I should't feel too bad...I'm on level 12 and can't get past it! This game is way too addictive and drives you crazy! Does anyone know how many levels there actually are???? By the way buy it...you'll love it!

I like playing the full version of Zuma better than the partial version on line. I'm very glad I bought it. Rapid fire destruction is a blast.

FUN COLOR FRENZIE!

It is said that a good chef is one that can cook-up miracles with scraps. This is such a miracle: enclosed within only a few MBs the MUMBO-JUMBO team has enclosed a game you ENJOY GREATLY!!

A series of colored balls (with the number of different colors increasing every few levels) gets pushed and you have to match them in sets of three or more in order to remove them - and prevent them from reaching the end zone. There are two different modes: numbered balls per level and endless ball-trains in a specific level. Both are exceptional addictive!!

This is a perfect example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming. It would be a good idea to download the 60-min trial version from a site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is indeed your cup of tea.

Everybody can make a good game that will run only on a super-computer. This is an example of pure programming genius!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Addictive for non-gamer grownups

Zuma is a great game, even for a non-gamer, over-20-something. I think I started playing around the summer of 2006 and I've finally reached what I thought was the last level, level 9. I'm devastated to find out from the reviews that it goes up to at least level 13! I won't reach the end until I'm on Social Security! I've convinced myself that I'm improving my hand-eye coordination, while filling time between work projects. Sometimes, when I go to bed and close my eyes, I can still see the balls rolling on the track. One tip I can give is to use the Gauntlet mode for practice, especially if you have a level that's giving you trouble. I agree with the term "computer crack!"

Enjoyable.....great graphics and color........! Should be some kind of overview as to how many levels and helpful hints especially for level 12...... Great game!

Warning - Fun but Frustrating and Pointless

Zuma is fun at first but at the highest levels is unwinable. Getting through the top levels is strictly a matter of chance. The program makes repeated screens at higher levels harder by feeding balls faster and giving the player unusable balls to fire. I would not waste money on Zuma until advancing past every level measured skill instead of luck.

Good Game for PC

Reviewed more extensively elsewhere as a "Windows" compatible PC game by the same title, however this version (also for the PC) generally sells cheaper because it is made available in smaller jewel case packaging and occupies less shelf space in retail stores. Neither come with much if any (hardcopy) documentation, as Zuma Deluxe is a relatively simple game to learn how to play, and instructions are provided in the game itself after installation on your PC. You can also download this game (and try it out free for a limited time, usually 60 minutes) from a variety of online sources.

For a similar and even better - well implemented - game of this genre, I highly recommend the new Pop Cap game called "Peggle Deluxe", although I yet to see it come out in the smaller jewel case package format. It can be downloaded or purchased as a "boxed" product in retail stores.

Starting in the days of the Atari 2600, I have always admired software game developers. They are extremely creative people, especially those from yesteryear who had to develop in assembly code to crank out a new game in only 4 kilobytes of Read Only memory. The Pop Cap programmer of classic games like Bejeweled, and now soon-to-become classics like Peggle Deluxe are pure genius.

I recommend you get a hold of either Zuma or Peggle Deluxe (especially the latter), and try it out to see exactly what I mean.
