3.0 out of 5 stars Fun but not worth $30, December 16, 2007

Jewel Quest is a fun game - the story line that provides that background is pretty lame. 98% of the game revolves around solving "Bejeweled" type puzzles of increasing difficulty. Pretty fun

MY only complaint is that at $30 Jewel Quest is one of the more expensive games for the DS. In fact for an additional $5 you can buy Zelda.... which is more of a true game. Jewel Quest is more along the lines of a game you would buy for a cell phone. It is fun and is great at killing time - but it isn't too in depth.

Pro's

- Fun puzzles can help kill significant time on flights.
- The DS stylus works very well for this game
- Lots of variety in the puzzles
- I like the use of the "Gold Coins" that allow you to complete one unmarked spot.


Con's

- A little expensive for the game's content - I think $20 is more appropriate but to each their own.
- The "story" is more annoying than anything.

As a whole - not bad - definitely worth buy if you ever see the game discounted on Amazon or on a discount shelf at a local store!

I became "addicted" to the Jewel Quest 2 game on my computer. However, when the computer screen kept freezing partway through the game, I had to give up the computer version. Now, I have the DS version, and have become addicted again to this matching game....Much more interesting than the Brain Age game.

I like this game as it is along the lines of super collapse, the old tetris for the 1st generation game boy (which I had back in the day), and the luxor games. This keeps one challenged and entertained for hours as you try to get further into the complex and harder levels. It's replay value is there; once I get to the final level, I can see myself starting over and doing this again.
