Strategy Informer: Bejeweled 2 Review

Strategy Informer writes: "There's something so irresistible about the simplicity of Bejeweled 2. Even more so when you consider the gem-swapping formula has barely changed in an age that has seen it spruced all over the Internet and across mobile applications of all shapes and sizes. It's a testimony to Popcap Games that, after almost a decade of award-winning praise and approval, they have kept faith in their golden child. So often, addictive puzzle games can lose their entertainment value through a bland rehash of 'next-gen' ideas and over-complication of what made the premise successful in the first place (Mindsweeper Flags, most notably). It's with great pleasure then that Bejeweled 2 arrives on the PlayStation Network looking as sleek and accessible as ever with some smart, age-defying improvements that stop this from becoming a predictable re-run of previous hits, and propels the game to the top of the genre in inevitably nonchalant fashion once more." 7.4/10
