2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't give you enough time to strategize, December 6, 2010

I'm a big fan of strategy games and enjoy thinking out the different moves and possibilities to find the best way to win the game. Unfortunately, these games give you a specific amount of time to finish each game, so you really don't have any time to think about different strategies. As such, you just end up quickly clicking on jewels and hoping for the best. It makes for a very dull time.

Graphics are good; story is interesting, but I wished they offered a timed and untimed version. With the untimed version you'd have as much time as you want to solve the puzzle (add some type of obstacles to the board, like bomb tiles to make it challenging).

This has been a great deal. Two games for the price of one! Both for under $10! Jewel Quest II & III have been two of my favorite games to play for quite a while now. I'm able to play whenever I want without any "interruptions/commercials". It's been the best $10 I've paid in a long time!

3.0 out of 5 stars 50% fun, July 4, 2011

There are two games included in this package:

Jewel Quest 2:

- timed challenges (no easy mode).
- for every 3 coins you make in a row, you get a coin, up to 100 coins. You can use the coins to turn yellow unturned spaces. This makes the game challenging, but also offers some solutions, case you get stuck.
- game can be played full screen, but resolution is small.
- works fine under Windows 7.
- 5 star game in this package.

Jewel Quest 3:

- timed challenges (no easy mode).
- you can no longer make coins that carry between levels.
- levels are more varied. For example, on the China levels, you need to drop monkeys in specific spaces that are 'cages'. In other levels, you need to bring down 'lava rocks' to melt some spaces.
- if you lose, it's not game over, but you get to replay the same level as many times as you'd like.
- this game is much more difficult than JQ2, because sometimes there is no strategy at all and just need the AI to work perfectly. No levels are impossible, but question is why would you bother play same level 50+ times, just because designers were lazy to provide you the tools to win. Publishers like Big Fish Games and Playrix make these type of games too and they are a lot more enjoyable.
- game works fine under Windows 7.
- 1 star game in the package. It's enjoyable in the beginning and extremely frustrating later on.

For people complaining they cannot find the game:

- make sure your Firewall allows the Amazon software downloader to run.
- start the software before downloading the game. You can find it in Start - Amazon.
- once you buy the game, you may get a pop-up or a note at bottom or top of the Internet Explorer screen, asking for your approval to download this. If you miss this, nothing will be downloaded.
- once the game installs, you should have a shortcut on your desktop.
- if game didn't install, you can download it again from Amazon. Go to your Account and look for downloadable games.
