Jewel Match
SCORE: 79
This last week Family Friendly Gaming Nation saw quite a few
interesting games participate in the Nintendo downloads press release.
Numerous Nintendo DSi games that are playable on the Nintendo 3DS were
released. Jewel Match was one of those games.
I know some of ya'll may be thinking the name of Jewel Match sounds
familiar. Well it should since it was not that long ago I reviewed Jewel
Match 3 on the Nintendo 3DS. Jewel Match is not as advanced as Jewel
Match 3. Which is something I expected.
If you read my reviews then you know how I feel about match three video
games. I like them, I love them, and I play many of them. I really get
into the ones that allow us to build up empires while playing through
the levels. Jewel Match comes with 150 levels. They can be played in
relaxed, normal, or two player modes.
In the normal play mode of Jewel Match there is a timer. Levels need to
be completed in a certain amount of time. You can use extra lives to get
a few more minutes if you so choose. With so many blocks to make matches
on, it can be difficult to get them all in the time allocated.
I like relaxed mode in Jewel Match. There is no timer, and the tools
still build. So I can hammer out a block once that tool has completely
powered up with matches. Chains over certain blocks can be a real pain,
and require some strategy to beat.
Jewel Match is selling for $4.99 before taxes on the Nintendo eShop.
Which is a little high in my opinion since this game is a port, and for
one dollar more you can purchase Jewel Match 3. Which is more advanced
in every single way.
I hope some day Joindots will do a collection of the Jewel Match games
on a physical copy cartridge that could be sold in stores. I use
different DS devices at different times, so it would be nice to be able
to take the game with me no matter which 3DS/2DS/DSi hand held device I
have with me at that time.
