Pros: Easy game to learn

Cons: Too slow to load and more of the same

Comments: Since I only downloaded the demo and didn't purchase the game, I have to say the loading time cut into my playing time and I didn't care for that - also because my PC is pretty fast, I was surprised.

It's standard Jewel Quest and while it's easy to learn and play, I was bored by the end of the hour. The graphics and story line are different but I don't read those anyway. I just like to play the games, not follow a story line and typically skip through them anyway.

Comments: I liked it fine until I reached 41% and have to compete with Sebastion. Does anyone know how to beat this board? I've tried at least 20 times, and cannot win to move forward. There are no instructions, no clues, no hints. I've gotten so bored, I switched back to my Jewel Quest and Jewel Quest II. Does anyone know where to read the rules?

4 stars Jewel Quest Comments

Comments: Looks like a good fun game in the spirit of the past versions. Easy to learn and play. Took about 5 min. to download the trial - not excessive if you ask me. I've bought previous versions and not been dissapointed. Will probably purchase this one too. I'd say if you like this sort of game that it is well worth the $20.

Thanks Yahoo.

Pros: Simple to learn

Cons: Slow and boring

Comments: We should expect much more from a game like this. This has been done many times before with more elements. Good for basic gameplay but loses your interest very quickly. C'mon guys, this is pathetic.

1 star Jewel Quest Has Its Eye On You!

Pros: Easy to learn (web version only)

Comments: I have no idea why this little program feels the need to transmit data from my computer to another (presumably owned by yahoo!). Perhaps that's why it's so slow to load up (as another reviewer noted) and why its performance is clunky at best.

I'm steering clear of yahoo games in the future because I noticed that also the web version of bejeweled wants to install more stuff on my computer as well!

As for the trial version's interface...it's not well done. I sat there waiting for something to load up and just got a nice little view of a museum for several minutes and could not find a place to press play game. I could go to the museum. To the map room. Look at a guest book. Read the credits. Set my options up. Everything was very easy to find but PLAY GAME?! Now given that the game was so slow to even launch, I figured that it would take a while to load one of the maps that I encountered in the web version. So I waited a bit since there was no PLAY GAME button. Sorry - but waiting several minutes for a little puzzle map to launch on a game like this is just wrong. Heavy graphic games like Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 don't take as long to load and they are well worth the wait in comparison to this little clunker.

Horrible coding and totally inefficient. Don't even waste your time with the trial.

Comments: i really like the game. However, the Gold Quest in Iceland (Hekla) is Impossible!!! There is no way to free the 4th square in both sides of the game. this board design is similar to a puzzle in the China section, BUT instead of being able to leave three tiles open, and then drop a burning stone in that slot...the blocks fill with automatically with jewels. Therefore, there is just no way to complete the board within the time limit...Aargh!!! And there is no hint of any trick that helps... Pretty soon I will give up trying al together and then will stop playing the game. This is really bad for marketing appeal!
