Game Play
Just like other Bejeweled games, the objective is to line up three or more jewels of the same color which get blasted away for points. As more jewels are lined up eventually the player moves up a level of difficulty.What makes Bejeweled Twist different is that the player puts a circular target over four jewels. Then with each click, the four jewels rotate until the player gets the jewels in a position of at least three in a row.
Graphics
While the game does not have particularly unique or complicated graphics, they are colorful, eye catching and certainly add to the pleasure of playing the game. The graphics are simple in the symbols that are being aligned, but the game also brings in glowing jewels that explode, jewels that need to be eliminated in a specific amount of time, and rocks that block up the patterns. It also has some interesting backgrounds that give the appearance of being in nature.

Sound
Sound is also very simplistic in that it generally consists of sound effects that indicate success at lining up jewels and finishing levels, but there is the ominous voice that tells the player to begin and narrates the completion of tasks.
Creativity and Innovation
Creativity and innovation probably isn’t the strength of this game. It is a simple retooling of a previous concept. That doesn’t mean though that the game isn’t fun to play. The game is enjoyable because of the twist on the basic game. It is easy enough to play that anyone can pick up the skills of the game easily within the 60 minute trial period. As well the game supplies a quality tutorial if the beginning player wishes to sep through it.

Purchase Bejeweled Twist if
1. You are looking for a family friendly game.
2. You are a casual gamer looking for a distraction.
3. You have enjoyed other Bejeweled games.
Do not purchase Bejeweled Twist if:
1. You are a serious gamer.
2. Desire more action and complicated game play.
3. Are looking for advanced graphics and sound.
Overall this game would be rated 3/5. It earns three due to the fact that it can be learned quickly, is family friendly and is an entertaining diversion. It loses two points for lacking in a lot of innovation or having complicated graphics. However, having played other Bejeweled games, this version doesn’t disappoint, but simply offers another version of the Bejeweled concept.
