  1. While hardcore PC fans will find this game too simple for their taste, there is a tremendous amount of appeal to both men and women, and players of all ages.
  2. True to its predecessor, Zuma's Revenge is overall an entertaining game.
  3. PopCap's games seem to be hit after hit, and Zuma's Revenge follows the trend nicely by taking a successful existing formula, tweaking and adding to it while being extremely careful not to wreck it, throwing on a nice slathering of solid artwork and a little sound work, and offering it for a reasonable $20.
  4. PopCap charm permeates the experience - the dialogue and tool tops are hilarious - but the halfway mark signals a massive surge in difficulty, and you'll frequently get pinned for hours on a single stage. [Dec 2009, p.117]

    Popcap doesn't disappoint like always, another good game from popcap and good way to spent your free time.

    This game is still good, but has barely improved since the original. Flashy powerups do not, at the end of the day, make this game more fun to play. The bosses are easy yet frustrating at the same time, and the humour is rarely above mediocre.

    I was somewhat looking forward to this, but worried "what can they possibly change to actually make Zuma more fun?". It turns out the answer was: not much.

  3. This is a solid puzzle game. But I sometimes find the game way too easy and boring. They need to increase the degree of difficulty and the excitement of the game...... Expand
