This is a super fun game. There are 12 levels of increasing difficulty, and boy does it ever get hard after level 9. You find yourself wanting to defeat that little spinning, spitting frog if it kills you. Great game.

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.

Addicted and loving it

I bought this from Target and I'm just loving it. I loved the online version at PopCap Games' website, but had trouble with the Deluxe version at first. The screen seemed too big for a game that relies a lot on peripheral vision. However, you can stop it from running in full-screen mode and that smaller window made all the difference for me. At $9.99, this a great price, too. There seems to be no difference between this $10 version and the $20 version also being sold online. I believe someone said the price difference was due to different packaging. The Zuma and Peggle addictions are now spreading like wildfire among all my family and friends. Good luck tearing yourself away!

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 will 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!!!

Fun for the whole family!

Great Game - SPOILERS!!

This is a highly addictive, relaxing way to pass time or just relax.
But first impressions of this game are deceiving. It seems like a simplistic, straight forward skill shot game. If you play it this way it will take you forever to conquer it. I was lucky enough to have my computer crash. When I started out the second time around - applying the knowledge I had gained - it made a huge difference. So here are the SPOILERS:

1. Try to see how long you can make the game last on the first round of each level. The game records your first score at each level and you get more points - and lives - if you did really poorly the first round.

2. Set yourself up for combos.

3. Get used to swapping the color balls. Look on the back of the frog to see what color is next and swap when necessary.
You'll need the extra lives to make it through the really hard puzzles.

Very Disappointed This Time

This is a very good game to have fun with but the CD itself caused a problem with my computer. After I installed it on my Windows XP, my computer continuosly restarted. After about an hour of uninstalling, reinstalling, troubleshooting, etc. I decided to trash it. Don't know what happened this time; Other CD games that I've ordered worked great.

Mesmerizing

I absolutely cannot get enough of this game! I can't wait to share it with my 6 year old grandson. I know he will love it as much as I do. It's a great game for the whole family!

Most addictive game I ever played! Super fun!

I have been playing Zuma for months and I have to tell you it is the first thing I do in the morning and the last I do at night before going to bed. It is by far the best PC game I have ever played! In the beginning I had a hard time getting to work on time or going to bed on time in the evening. It is also the first thing I do when getting home from work. I have had to discipline myself to get my housework done first and then play Zuma. Highly highly recommend this game. If you like arcade type games this is the best!
