Description

Seven Wonders lets you journey where no one alive has ever gone before. Travel to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and trek through the Mediterranean islands to behold the glory of ancient Greece. You have to build the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Time is short and the journey is filled with peril. You must match three same-colored magical rune coins to supply your workers with the building stones needed to create the Seven Wonders.

A whole lot of fun despite the generic gameplay.

Although another matching blocks game, this one stands out with a set goal to achieve (building the monuments), and the backgrounds help mix up the formula a bit. You start out with the usual square grid full of blocks, but as you progress the grid itself starts to change shape, adding to the difficulty. After all, it can be very hard to match three or more blocks when you are only given two columns right next to each other. You have to have a good deal of patience, but you also have to be on your toes all the time. There are plenty of powerups available to help you out as well. The controls are easy to understand and use; the colors are vibrant and the shapes stand out from each other quite clearly. In addition to the normal Bejeweled-style gameplay, you can also tackle the "Rune Quest" section of the game, where you try to match up a certain number of particular blocks before time runs out. The developers have done a great job of adding some excitement and variety to a common idea. My only real pet peeve with this game is that once you build all of the seven monuments, there is nowhere else to go after that. All you can do is start over with the exact same task. I think the company could have expanded more on the main game, adding more tasks, but it is still very entertaining. If you like Bejeweled and the other games like it, I suggest you give this one a try.
 

It's OK, but . . .

This game is good for passing time, no major strategy, just keep matching the runes. I would have enjoyed it more if I could save the parts I completed, but I figure they made this game so you would have to start all over again from each level so the game would last longer. Annoying feature.
 

repeat fun

this is the perfect game for the PsP. Even after I beat the game I still play it over and over. I just can't stop!
 

Inexplicably Enjoyable

This game is just a variation of Bejeweled and other "match three jewels" games. However the game play is beyond those other varients and I found myself wishing there was a 7 Wonders II lurking out there somewhere.

There is nowhere to tell from the packaging or reviews here, what type of game this is. When I got my game and saw the picture of the columned jewels, I know I must have groaned in disappointment. I don't need another Bejeweled game. But the background story is fun and the game play is just different enough to keep your interest. I recomend this game highly.

And I don't understand the other reviewers writing that there is no save function. Each level can be saved, but only at the end of the each level, there is no way to save until the level is finished.
 

Alright

What a great game for the PSP. One of my favorite games finally comes to the PSP. the controls are really easy to get use to and make it fun to play. This game goes right along with the PC version and is very addicting.
