Completely Surprised

Ive seen this game at the top of the mac app store charts for some time now, Ive read all the glowing reviews (on this site & others), but I just couldnt see paying 20 bucks for what is essentially a match 3 game. When this went on sale for 10 bucks, I held my breath and clicked buy. I instantly thought, Im going to regret this…. WOW, was I wrong, after opening the game and playing 2 hours straight, seeing how much content Popcap managed to pack into a match 3 game….and the beautiful graphics….and the wonderful music/sound effects….I just had to post a review. Ive never been a fan of these kind of games (more of a RTS, TD fan at heart), but took a chance because of all the positive press tied to Bejeweled, and it is much better then I could have imagined. The way it takes a basic puzzle game premise, adds a very professional visual & audio presentation, and finally through its varied gameplay modes adds a layer of strategy that makes Bejeweled 3 the best of its kind with immense crossover appeal. While I still dont think Id pay 20 bucks for this (my rule is never to spend more then 5 bucks for a download, due to the lack of a physical product with the options and support that come with a physical copy), I broke my own rule and paid 10 thanks to the temptation of a sale price and dont regret it for a second. Great quality with hours of entertainment value.
