Weekend Game Review: Diamond Twister for S60 - May 22, 2008

If you’ve played Bejeweled before, then this game should come as no stranger to you. Based on the Bejeweled concept, Diamond Twister builds on that with a plot – the player has to hunt for precious diamonds for clients. It’s not exactly the best plot, but again, does anyone pay alot of attention to a plot like that?

Gameplay is very smooth, and the aim is to create combos of 3 or more of those precious stones via making a swap with another stone. This nets you “money”, and you must reach a targeted amount before the set period of time is up. Sounds complicated, but trust me, it’s easy to get a grasp of once you try it out. It’s very intuitive; at no time did I have to look at the instructions or anything.

The game is rather repetitive in that it’s basically completing missions and unlocking more missions via creating these combos. But it takes a while to get boring – and during that time I supposed you’ve already reached your destination (assuming you’re playing while you’re travelling) or have something else to complete. And it’s definitely worth purchasing – for US$3 it’s a steal, as you’re basically buying a new addiction. Payment can be done via Paypal, Credit card, or even just through your service provider, so it’s very convenient for the user.

Pros: Addictive, intuitive gameplay, fast and clean to play (no need to save halfway), Cheap
Cons: Repetitive, not the most action packed game

Verdict:
The pros outweigh the cons. It’s cheap and excellent to play, so go and buy it!
