Tired of the same slow and old puzzle games where blocks fall or bubbles pop?
Then PopCap’s Zuma is for you. It’s a fast paced puzzle game that will have your mouse moving and you clicking like a mad man. Based on the Aztec leader, Montezuma, your mission is to explore the ancient Aztec temples. In order to gain access to the next area, the player needs to direct colored balls that shoot from your ball guide, a frog, and clear the path by spitting and combining like colors that roll down a gutter. You fail when the gutter fills up and reaches its full capacity. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, as you gain deeper access, the balls come at a much more frantic pace and circle around your ball spitting frog, causing the player to use fast reflexes to assure that all angles are covered. 3 like colored balls will cause them to explode, 
temporarily stopping the gutter from filling up. Zuma seems to combine Billiards, Galaga, and Skip- Bo into one frantic game where colored balls will explode.
The graphics really shine while the music doesn’t seem to quite fit. However, Zuma’s game play is simple enough to get even the casual gamer hooked within minutes. Each level will require a different strategy which makes the game both challenging and entertaining. This is definitely a game that even my wife and kids will enjoy.
The only downside to this game is that there will be a massive amount of clicking so it strongly suggested that you play this game with a mouse. The touch pad on a laptop will not do this game justice. With all the movement and clicking that will go on, you will definitely benefit from a mouse. Zuma will definitely stiffen your arm after an extended amount of playing time. So call up your chiropractor and tell him or her that you’ll be seeing them soon. I’m pretty sure you won’t be the first to see them because of Zuma.

It’s the best game of its type, which many games were similar. It is very good and very adicitive if you play for the first time, perfect for both casual and for less.
Just discovered this blog. My all time favourite PC games are the Sierra Ones (Pharaoh and Ceaser esp) but I can never find any info on them anywhere. I have bought the disks and played Ceaser until I was crowned.
Surely there is more?
Roblox is a FREE world were you can make and play games.
I am an old man who plays ZUMA every single day! I am addicted to this PC GAME!
Like the rest of minigames, Zuma does not rely on a dazzling visual section to be interesting. Nevertheless, the overall look is very colorful and there are interesting details that deserve attention. The main one is the representation of the areas that has a very high quality. The textures are well defined, as well as reflections and shadows. A very nice touch given that we have always plenty of them on screen.
I downloaded and played this game. I think its one of the best online game available. Also the gaming interface is very clear makes us to play more and more. Thank you…
Looks like a lot of fun. I was enjoying the Bookworm games from pop cap, so I should check this out out too. Thanks.
Wow, you are such a good game reviewer it makes me jealous. This post is phenomenal and I love how you include a couple of screenshots of the game. You do a great job explaining the features and advantages of Zuma allowing the reader to know what they are getting into before playing the game.

Zuma is okay but I really prefer playing on Mario rather than it. It’s just my opinion
Not playing on Zuma is something that I feel will help a lot of people get through the day. This game isn’t too good and I really hope it becomes unpopular.
One of the best games of all time for the casual gamer.
I think I’m going to try it. Though, I’m a die-hard Wii-er. Anyone heard ’bout a new Zelda yet?
Each generation seems to be hypnotized by one of these repetitive, addicting and colorful games. It happened to the 70s and 80s guys with Tetris, the next generations got their Zumas on
