  1. 800 points seems a bit much for a puzzle game, but when it's one as unique, clever and original (hey, we're not in Japan, we don't know what a Puzzloop is!) as Zuma Deluxe then it's very much worth it.
  2. For roughly about $10, this is a no-brainer for puzzle gamers.
  3. Zuma is another Xbox Live Arcade game that is highly recommended. It’s only $10, and you’ll make that back quickly with the amount of time you spend with it.
  4. The stages get progressively more challenging as more-complex layouts and additional ball colors are introduced, and while the underlying gameplay really doesn't change much, it's still an engaging way to pass the time.

  1. This is a great game. It is very challenging but worth playing none the less. It is one of those games that once you pick it up you can't put it down. This is much better than Luxor 2 which is a crap knock off of this. If you like puzzle games or something with a challenge I highly reccomend this title. Expand

    I didn't like this game at first. Using the left thumb control was a bit awkward for spinning the frog around to shoot the balls. Perseverence pays off, though, and I spent more hours playing this game than all other XBLA titles I tried or bought, combined(not a lot, but some). Expand
