I normally wouldn't review games that I haven't finished but nobody else has posted a review so this might be useful.

(haven't finished these games due to lack of time)

Both games are very simple to play. One or two analog sticks, 2 or 3 buttons. Easy.

Zuma falls in the class of the Marching Match 3 games. You try to match 3 or more like objects to eliminate them. You shoot the marbles into a long, twisting path containing marbles of various colors. The simple way is to just blast away looking for easy matches. You'll clear quite a few levels that way before the game requires a better level of play. But the simple play is still an amusing way to spend a few minutes. But there's more depth to the game than that. You can plan for bigger scores and chain reactions by shooting through gaps in the chain or exploiting special bonuses.

The music is quite good. Matches the pace of the game.

Heavy Metal is a side-scrolling horizontal shooter but your tank only travels on the bottom of the screen. The other joystick aims your gun which fires unlimited ammo. There's a good variety of enemies to menace you, your weapon gets upgraded, you can collect special weapons (the generic blow everything up on the screen bomb, for example).

Early levels are dead simple, then they start throwing more complex stuff at you. Of course that's the most common game design - it just that it's done very well here.

It's a fast paced, funny game.

These games are not unusual or revolutionary. But they are well done examples of their type. Since the price is so low the package is an excellent value.

The games are fine but;I bought this pack because I love Zuma's games, and I wanted to give my pc a break by playing it in a Play Station 2 that my grandson has in my room. I was surprised since I have never played in a playstation I didn't know how hard the controllers are to handle, God no! If you don't know how to play it with that kind of controllers either you learn how, or give up like I did. The games are good but to use them in a playstation, you must be a playstation expert. Is very hard there.

I was very worried about buying a used game online. But I took the chance and was very pleased. The game was in excellent condition, and is very fun to play. Me and my kids really like it.
