Jewel Quest
SCORE: 77
I am thankful that Family Friendly Gaming was provided a download
code for Jewel Quest on the Wii U. This game clocks in under three
hundred gigs. In most ways Jewel Quest is a bare bones match three video
game. We do not build towns, or other things in this Wii U video game.
There is a timer on Jewel Quest giving us two minutes to beat each of
the seventy-two letters.
I could not find any options to play Jewel Quest without the timer. This
short timer can be very frustrating since we have to match on each of
the squares in the places tiles appear on a level. Jewel Quest gets
harder after each and ever level. I wish Jewel Quest came with a casual
mode for family members that want to take their time and think about
their moves. Too often good moves were missed since this game encourages
rushing around. I prefer match three games that encourage patience, and
thoughtful contemplation.
Graphically Jewel Quest looks okay. There are some neat images in the
background. Too bad Jewel Quest did not encourage me to take my time and
enjoy the background graphics. I had to blitz to find as many matches as
quickly as possible, or I had to replay the level. At the time this
review was written Jewel Quest was selling for $4.99. I wish this game
came in a physical copy. I miss looking at the art work on the disc and
having a case to hold in my hand.
If you are a competitive and speedy match three gamer then you will get
into Jewel Quest. The music in Jewel Quest on the Wii U is really good.
I enjoyed hearing it while playing this matching game. I also like the
different objects there are to match. Matching three gold coins is very
useful in Jewel Quest. What do they do they do? They let you remove any
background from a tile. Meaning you do not need to match on that exact
tile.
Jewel Quest is a solid match three video game on the Wii U. I know there
have been plenty of match three video games in the past. Some of them
will even play on the Wii U. I hope to see more of these kinds of games
in the future. I also hope any sequel to Jewel Quest will include a
casual mode for those of us that like to take our time. There is no
hurry in finding the right match.
