Bejeweled, as known to many Pocket PC users out there, has always been one of the great games that everyone should have. Everyone that has played the first version of Bejeweled has loved it for its simple yet addictive and well designed interface.

With Astraware's newest version, Bejeweled 2, they brought in the ability for it to play on VGA Pocket PCs, and all I can say while playing this game on my X50v is WOW! It is truly stunning and the animations and graphics are crystal clear and perfect. The game play is very addictive with 4 modes of play (Classic, Action, Endless, and Puzzle) that keep you entertained constantly.

In Classic mode, you try to fill up the bottom bar by making sets of three or more of the same shape. In Puzzle Mode, you try to clear the board by combining the shapes into sets of three or more. In Action mode, it is like classic, except the more time you waste, the more the bottom bar goes down. In Endless mode, you seem to go through differnet levels, but there are many and it just keeps on going and going as far as I have played.

The graphics are unbelievably clear and are great on a VGA screen. Some other cool features are that you can turn on a battery indicator that makes a small icon in the upper corner of the game screen that shows your PPC's current battery status. There also is a similar icon that you can turn on to show the current time on your PPC. The menus are easy to navigate through and it is easy to turn on and off options like this.

 

Bejeweled 2 is no exception to that great standard of play and level of fun that Bejeweled brought to the Pocket PC Platform. Many users that have used Bejeweled will be amazed with Bejeweled 2's awesome graphics and stunning animations. It definitely wont let anyone down and it is definitely one of the best full VGA games on the market currently!
