Product Description: Seven Wonders lets you journey where no one alive has ever gone before. Travel to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and trek through the Mediterranean islands to behold the glory of ancient Greece. You have to build the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Time is short and the journey is filled with peril. You must match three same-colored magical rune coins to supply your workers with the building stones needed to create the Seven Wonders.
Very Addicting Very addicting. Reminds me of Tetris when it first came out.
Seems like a short game but it is not. It is a game that also in the same mold as Bejeweled. You will spend hours and hours of fun playing with it. You start your travel through the puzzles with the Pyramids of Egypt, the only surviving original 7 wonders of the world. The puzzles get more difficult with each one you solve. Try to get 5 and 4 in a rows either horizontal or vertical. This will give you a golden piece that will eliminate a whole row the next time you use that piece. 5 in a row will give you a piece that will eliminate the whole column and the whole row you move that piece to.
Google what are the 7 original Wonders of the World for an interesting trivia.
Highly recommended This game is so much fun! A lot like bejeweled, but better. I took it on a family vacation and soon everyone else was battling over whose turn it was to play the game.
Addictive Can't put it down!!! That is, until the battery runs down on my DS Lite. Has all the excitement of Bejeweled 2 - with the bombs that blow up things - plus each screen presents new challenges.
Average Game is okay, but instruction booklet is necessary, which I like to be able to learn games on my own.
a poor substitution for Jewel Quest I bought this one on a whim because I do like Jewel Quest, but really, it's probably going to be traded for another game. It compares very poorly to Jewel Quest and I honestly don't see myself playing it.
My chief complaints are:
1) The different jewels are very hard to tell apart. Some of them are so slightly different that you have to squint at the screen and even guess at times. Mostly the pinks and oranges - the blues are distinguishable enough.
2) The sound. I had to turn the sound almost completely off and it was still irritating. When the jewels disappear and the remaining ones 'clack' down the speakers produce a sound like static that grates on my nerves. This, alone, would be enough to make me stop playing.
Otherwise, I do admit it plays smoothly and has some nice special features (like the fireball-thing) - there's nothing wrong with the idea of the game, but it also doesn't have anything that worthwhile to outweighs those two very, very, very large negatives.
