Bejeweled Twist from PopCap is the most ambitious follow-up yet to the Bejeweled franchise of games. The original Bejeweled was the game that launched the "casual gaming" craze, with game mechanics that anyone can pick up and enjoy, and now with Bejeweled Twist, PopCap has added more depth and strategy with a twisting maneuver.  |

PopCap has sold more than 25 million Bejeweled games, with over 350 million copies downloaded, making it one of the most successful game franchises in history. Bejeweled Twist was four years in the making, and brings an exciting spin on the classic gameplay: instead of dragging the jewels around, you rotate them. The goal is still to create a line of three or more identical jewels, and each successive turn in which you do so gives you a multiplier for even more points. A key difference from the older games is that you don't have to make a match with every turn. The graphics have been updated as well, with new backgrounds and animations. The graphics are crisper and more modern while still retaining the fun, colorful look of the old games. The new game exhibits a high level of polish and production values, including nice animations in between levels, fun explosion effects when power-ups are used, and extras like being able to watch an instant replay of high-scoring matches. Four Different Play Modes
Bejeweled Twist features four different play modes: Classic, Challenge, Zen and Blitz. Classic mode lets you progress through increasingly difficult levels where you try to create jewel chains before a bomb detonates. Challenge mode creates specific tasks for you to complete, such as destroying ten gems in one move. In Blitz mode, you frantically try to accumulate as many points as you can within a certain amount of time. And in Zen mode, you can play a relaxing game without any obstacles or timers. There are various power-ups that can be used for higher scores, such as a lightning gem, which you'll receive by matching five gems at once. The lightning gem then eliminates the entire vertical or horizontal column or row where the gem is located. When a you get consecutive matches to max out the chain meter, you'll receive a fruit gem that destroys all same-colored gems. Like all great puzzle games, you'll be surprised how fast that time flies while playing Bejeweled Twist.

 Excellent GAME the prefect THING TO RELIEVE STRESS! Blowing up things. Perfect for all ages. Just got more for Christmas gifts. November 20, 2008

I love this new updated version of the fun Bejeweled game. Much more fun to rotate than drag the jewels.
You just click on set of 4 and keep clikcing til it rotates to where you make at least 3. Then there are the flaming bomb jewels. If you match them they explode all around. But my sons think the lightening ones are the coolest. When they are matched, they will do a lightening strike to destroy jewels across and down in t shape. See how many lines you can destroy.
Very fast moving and very fun for all ages that can click and move a mouse. The graphics are very colorful and make this game fun and exciting. Great Family game highly reccommend for all.
An interesting addition to the Bejeweled family of matching games December 27, 2008

This game is the latest addition to the Bejewel line of games from "POPCAPS".
The original 'Bejeweled' was a game of match 3, 4 or 5 jewels while trying to obtain a higher and higher scores as the game progressed in difficulty. 'Bejeweled Twist' adds several new options to the old game. The main difference is in movement of gems; in the original game you moved the gem laterally or up/down to make a match, but in B. Twist you turn 4 gems 90 degrees resulting is more combinations and also more unexpected result.
Some other things I liked:
1.)A very pleasant and catchy electronic tune plays continually in the background; in all the times I've played, I've never become annoyed or irritated by this melody. (it can, however, be turned off) The graphics/videos and audio effects (explosions etc.) are outstanding.
2.)The old game ended if no match was available (who can ever forget "NO MORE MOVES" as your last desperate attempt to continue a game failed). However, in this game you always have a move; losing involves having a gem that has turned into a time bomb go off before you can destroy or defuse it. This can be very intense as the music pace increases and the bomb start to vibrate and smoke as the counter ticks down towards zero with each successive move .
3.)Every move that makes a match, evokes a multiplier system that allows score to be gradually increased up to a factor of 10x, resulting in potentially incredible high scoring combos; it's very motivating to try to obtain these increasingly larger and larger multipliers.
4.)'Special' gems are awarded once the 10x multiplier level meter is reach and filled twice, resulting in a rare, but astronomical scoring opportunity.
5.)In addition to the regular 'Bejeweled Twist' matching game there are several other features; a Zen game (unending, no bombs and no tension), a Blitz game (5 minutes to get a new high score) and a Challenge game (where you need to accomplish certain goals to continue).
Conclusion:
A truly interesting addition to the Bejewel family of games; very addicting.
Easily worth every cent of the less than $20.00 you pay to purchase.
5 Stars.

Forget about reading, working, and living. Once you start, you'll be caught up in the game as I have. I can't see playing Bejeweled 1 or 2 ever again. Not as long as I have Bejeweled Twist.

Popcan yet again makes a fun addictive game
I own several PopCan games including BeJeweled 2 and now BeJeweled Twist. For the moment at least this is probably my favorite PopCan game.
~~okay I said that about Zuma as well
This game has several layers of strategies running simultaneously which keeps this game fun and entertaining.
Graphics run smoothly
I am running a 64-bit Vista system and I use this primarly on a laptop.

2 weeks ago, I had a free day in math class. I had asked my teacher if I could play this game and even though I only got up to level 3 on classic mode, I loved it. I saw this game at Best Buy yesterday. I didn't get it cause I was short on funds. I think this will be a fun game come summertime. And here's another thing. I made a bet with my Math teacher I can beat his high score tommorow. Whoever pukes first has to pony up a A+
