[Xbox Live Arcade] Building on the success of Hexic HD, Hexic 2 brings all-new pieces to the board in a very literal way. The basic gameplay is straightforward, familiar, and addictive—just spin a trio of hexes to create a group of three or more matching colors, or build a formation of hexes to create more advanced pieces. Whether you want a relaxing puzzle break or a frantic race against the clock, Hexic 2 has you covered. All-new special pieces, different formations, and modes keep Hexic 2 challenging even for the veteran Hexic player. Multiplayer competition: Amp up the gaming excitement playing multiplayer over Xbox Live (up to 2 players) in Battle Mode. The gameplay is straightforward, approachable, and highly addictive. The game is rendered in full 3-D with stunning special effects such as reflections, glow, and spectacular highlights. [Microsoft]

Hexic 2 is an excellent puzzle game on its own merits, but the original was perfection. For fans of the first game, multiplayer, new pieces, and new leaderboards to conquer should be well worth the 800 Marketplace points (around $10), but those who haven't given the series the time of day should explore the original first.
