The basic flavour of Bejeweled that sees you swapping pairs of jewels until there are no more moves left. It’s worth mentioning the various modes, as the game borrows from plenty of other games while always keeping true to the series’ roots. The great thing about the badges and associated achievements are that their targets are focused on skill rather than chore or luck – definitely a first for the series. These mostly do away with the one minute time limit, thankfully, and have their own set of in-game badges that are awarded for various feats. Firstly, there are a choice of eight modes (some of which you have to unlock, but there’s not too much difficulty involved in doing that) that all give distinct flavours of the Bejeweled formula. Thankfully, any concerns I had with that game (or any other in the series) have been dealt with. The last game in the series, Bejeweled Blitz, was a lightening fast effort that saw you playing one minute matches of either the Classic mode or Twist (a mode where you rotate groups of jewels rather than swapping pairs) but control issues, combined with a huge luck requirement, made it a little disappointing and the one minute time limit meant you could never really settle into a groove with it. The original game saw you swapping over pairs of jewels in order to make a line of three, at which point they disappear and more drop in from above in the tradition of Columns or, to a degree, Tetris. Well stick with it because, amazingly, Bejeweled 3 is ace as tits.įor those of you who’ve never seen a gaming-capable phone or any kind of website, Bejeweled is the bazillion-selling match-three puzzler from PopCap, the guys who brought you the maddeningly addictive Peggle and the brilliantly charming Plants Vs.
Add to that the prohibitively expensive asking price (1200MSP) and this is the kind of game that I imagine most of you will be ignoring without giving it a second thought.
#BEJEWELED 3 ACHIEVEMENTS SERIES#
After a week of heavy play of FIFA 12′s horribly addictive Ultimate Team mode, going through the chore of playing yet another match three puzzler on Xbox Live Arcade wasn’t something I was looking forward to, especially as I thought Bejeweled Blitz was a load of old bollocks and I wasn’t convinced that the Bejeweled series works on anything but a touchscreen.
