Jewels 2 (Mac) (Jewel Case)

Summary: Jewels 2 is NO gem....
Review: I really tried hard to find SOMETHING to like about this game, but unfortunately there is nothing within it that would allow me to. For starters, the game description on the package is very misleading as it makes the buyer/player think that this game is an adventure with areas to explore and mysteries to uncover. Sadly, there is nothing of the sort. The game consists of puzzles and nothing more.The puzzles are BORING and not very well thought out, and the so-called "hint book" does not provide any discernable solutions to many of them. The graphics depicting the surrounding landscape and building structures are tolerable, however there are many areas of the game where the shadows and borders were too dark or barely visible and changing the settings on my monitor did nothing to rectify the problem. I actually had to bring back the game in its package 2 times for an even exchange because disks 1 & 2 proved to have severe errors within them which made loading, installing and playing impossible to begin with. That was my first problem with this game and it just got worse as I played on. I am truly disappointed with this game in its entirety especially since I feel that I was mislead into buying it. Dreamcatcher Int. has done ALOT of very good work on past games, so I hope that they will be able to learn from the mistakes in this game and improve their future endeavors.

Happy Gaming Everyone!
