Top Secret Magazine Urban Assault

Jewels 2 lives up to its name, 'The Ultimate Challenge'. It certainly is challenging.. Jewels 2 is the sequel the popular puzzle game Jewels of the Oracle. Jewels 2, like its predecessor includes puzzles ranging from simple arithmetic that take only a few minutes to solve, to more complicated puzzles that can literally take days.

Jewels 2 includes 3 levels, and a total of 24 rooms with puzzles to explore. There are several difficulty settings that can be chosen, though I found most of the puzzles were quite difficult even at the easiest settings.

Puzzles include arithmetic,

inductive reasoning, solitaire, sequence, exchange and several others. Each puzzle is completely different, and unique. The graphics, travel scenes, and other game graphics are smooth and look nice. This game also has a high replay value, because each time you restart a puzzle, though its objective is the same, its completely different.

If your not into puzzles, then it'd be best to steer clear of this one. But if you love difficult puzzles, mazes and such, this is the perfect game for you. For what its designed for, this is a great game, one of the best in its field.
