At first I thought I miss read the box art, but when I took a second glance at it I noticed that it really read PlayStation 2 at the top of the box. I grabbed it right away. If you are a fan of any match 3 game then you need to have this in your house hold.

This game breaks you from sitting at the PC all night long playing casual games and moves you to sitting on the couch, which is a much more comfortable seat. The game play is so different, but there are some new things to the game like a whole new level which you will have to buy to see.

I have this game on my computer and am thrilled to have it on my big screen tv, this is one of my favorite games and have been playing this for years, not bored with it yet

7 Wonders of the Ancient World comes to the PS2 after a sub-standard debut on handhelds, and not much has really changed in the process. Similar to Bejeweled, 7 Wonders is much more shallow and not even half as exciting or addicting. The puzzle elements themselves seem all too familiar as you clear out runes and runes and runes, with little or no depth to the proceedings. Power-ups manage to spice things up a bit, but the overall feeling of 7 Wonders ends up being a pretty generic puzzler that you'll get through in little or no time at all. The game itself doesn't look all that good, and looks even worse now that it's stretched out on a TV screen. The overall presentation of 7 Wonders isn't anything special either, and the overall game is just plain boring. If you've played 7 Wonders before on the handhelds, you'll find that nothing has changed on it's arrival to the PS2, making it a pretty straightforward port. If you're into puzzle games and a PS2 is your only means of play, 7 Wonders is worth a look, but with other choices like Puzzle Quest and Lumines Plus out there, your time is better off spent elsewhere.
