It is said that a good chef is one that can cook-up miracles with scraps. This is such a miracle: enclosed within only a few MBs the MUMBO-JUMBO team has enclosed a game you will ENJOY GREATLY!!

A series of colored balls (with the number of different colors increasing every few levels) gets pushed and you have to match them in sets of three or more in order to remove them - and prevent them from reaching the end zone. There are two different modes: numbered balls per level and endless ball-trains in a specific level. Both are exceptional addictive!!

This is a perfect example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming. It would be a good idea to download the 60-min trial version from a site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is indeed your cup of tea.

Everybody can make a good game that will run only on a super-computer. This is an example of pure programming genius!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

PS:
There are other versions of (exactly the same game) even here at AMAZON, sold at...half the price here. Make sure to check them out - why pay more just for packaging?

We already have Zuma's Revenge and I wondered how Zuma would compare with it, so I purchased it. My family likes Zuma Revenge better because it has more chances offered to complete the game. Zuma's Revenge has images on some of the ball's that can move the groups of balls backward, some will "explode certain colors, some will explode a whole path of balls, etc. Zuma does not have this, but it's still addicting to play anyway.

I like all of PopCap's games, but Zuma is my favorite. It is a great skill game for hand-eye coordination. You can play over and over and never get tired of this one.

Ok first off ZUMA is a great game and it is fun. The only problem I have is the frustration caused by the inpercise pointer that is built into the game. The games pointer is a defect designed to make it more difficult to put the balls exactly where you want them to go. The object of the game is to destory groups of like colored balls rolling in a track anchored in mud while also destorying coins by firing colored balls through gaps that appear randomly. It sounds difficult but the concept of the game is very simple. Each like colored ball has a weak magnetic property that attracts its own color. When an additional ball is added to two or more balls of the same color critical mass is reached and all balls in that like colored set are distroyed. Certain balls gain and lose unique properties like the ability to explode, make the balls reverse in their procession to a sink hole that ends the game or costs you a life, measured in frogs.

Oh don't worry if you buy the game you will soon understand how to play it. Trust me ZUMA is not rocket science. ZUMA is a lot more fun than solitaire but; it is not a true gamers video game. ZUMA is more something fun and diverting to do while stuck in front of the computer on a long phone hold while some automated pin head voice is telling you how important your call is while also reminding you of their web address and the fact you have 33 minutes before you will get the help you need. ZUMA is at best a pleasant destraction not meant for a serious gamer unless they are stuck on hold needing something exciting enough to keep them from going competely mad.

I bought this game because I've played it before and loved it. Zuma is totally addicting and it's hard to stop playing. This game arrived in its new, advertised condition and arrived quickly.

I had been playing Zuma on line and wanted to play without ads. When my friend told me to try Amazon, I was happy to find the disk and ordered it. To my amazement, it as a great price and I received it so quickly I couldn't believe it. I would definately order again.

Zuma is fast paced. Colorful balls and speed to match and explode balls. Reverses, slows down balls, exploding balls. Challenge yourself with the timer or work at your own speed. Addictive for the challenge.
