Sparkle 2 is an addictive and engaging puzzle game where the main aim of the game is to match groups of three or more coloured balls. This is done by shooting coloured balls from a cannon in the centre of an ancient tomb. The balls snake their way around the tomb in a line and failure to clear them all in time will cause players to lose the level and start all over again.

Behind the Glitz and Glimmer

Apart from the fact that the speed of the game increases slightly, the basic game play on each level is pretty much identical. There are a few special power-ups provided at time to time to help players complete the level more quickly. these include balls that freeze time for a few seconds and others that clear all of the balls of a certain colour.

All That Glitters

Although it comes with great graphics and an alluring storyline, there is no disguising the fact that Sparkle 2 is basically a copy of Zuma. While people who have never played the original game are unlikely to know or even care, purist gamers who have already clocked up several levels on Zuma are probably better off sticking with this game.
