Spin, match, explode... WOW! It's a brilliant new way to play Bejeweled! Get set for a vivid sensory rush as you spin and match explosive gems for shockwaves of fun. Rotate jewels freely to set up electrifying combos, outwit surprising obstacles like Locks and Bombs, and create high-voltage Flame and Lightning gems. When you need to dial up the intensity or fine-tune your skills, turn to Challenge mode or five-minute Blitz. And if relaxing is more your style, kick up your feet with stress-free Zen. No matter the mode, you'll discover new strategies, improve your moves, and find endless ways to win!

One of the finest match-3 puzzle games ever created. So many new ideas and mechanics are introduced here it's kind of insane. Lightning gems, Supernova gems, Doom gems, Locked gems, Mega Fruit Bonus... Combined with the twist and chaining mechanics which I think are way more interesting than standard Bejeweled, you have one of the richest scoring systems in a puzzle game. I don't even know how to fully describe how awesome it feels, you'll just have to play it yourself. It will suck you in for hours.
All the modes are fully fleshed out, with the Challenge mode in particular being a fantastic addition that builds your skills and pattern recognition for the Classic and Blitz modes. There's an easier Zen mode available for those who just want to chill for awhile. The DS/DSi ports even have a 2-player vs. mode.
And then on top of that, it has legitmately great visual design and a killer soundtrack by Peter Hajba/Skaven - a combination rare for PopCap games. You can't go wrong with this one.

Bejeweled Twist will certainly not revolutionize the world of puzzle games, nor can it repeat the huge success of its predecessor. Nonetheless, the goodness of PopCap Games' work is evident and cannot be reduced to the category of a mere commercial operation. A variant on the match three theme therefore of definite interest to fans of this type of product, far from surprising but of undeniable value and above all perfectly integrated with the features of the DS.
