@Mitch – Hm. Interesting. I haven’t played Gauntlet yet, I’m still trying to finish Adventure. I think I’m on the very last set now so hopefully I can wrap that up now. But I know what your wife is saying.. At this point, I’m seeing Zuma balls when I sleep, and when I play I hardly even think anymore.

…No time for that. *nod*

Bush,
If I knew the answer to that, I’d be champion, too…
She doesn’t go for the gold coins, the chain bonus.
She tells me, “You gotta keep the marbles from wrapping around on you.”
Of course, that’s gauntlet, which nobody wins…
But for the Adventure mode, she just concentrates on clearing the marbles quickly and efficiently.

Easier said than done, eh?

Cheers,

Mitch

@Apexad – I think I’m on level 9. Ugh. I gotta break through these “walls”!

@Mitch – Ha ha, Well on the XBox, I’ve been guilty of sometimes hitting the small right trigger. It’s REALLY small and you can’t even tell when you press it – Until the ball you shoot is a different color. *rolling eyes*

And you gotta tell me what makes your wife the “champ” in this game. (#):D Has she beaten it? If so, that would probably put me into the chump category as well. *nod*

LOL!
I told you I was going to check you out!
My wife and I love ZUMA!
She is the reigning (only) Champ in our house.
I am the reigning Chump in the out house.
I just can’t get into the rhythm of frog-swinging
(don’t worry, the frog never complains).

Now, I can ask the burning question:
Have you EVER noticed the ball changing color JUST as you were about to shoot it?
This happens to me all the time, and I KNOW I didn’t deliberately aim a red ball between two blue balls!!!

My wife insists that I must have hit the right-click button on the mouse, swapping colors.

Please tell me this has happened to you, too???

Cheers,

Mitch

I love Zuma as well! I agree, it’s very addicting.

Thanks, Bush – we have the warranty, thankfully. Drumming is not easy but I think I’m better at it than TGH so I get to do it in our “band.” I’m so cool. LOL

@Teeni – How’s the drumming going? That game is very very hard on the drumming side of things. And sorry to hear about the red ring of death. Hope you got a warranty on it so you’re not stuck waiting for M$ to fix it!

I LOVE Zuma and I loved Snood too. LOL. These are both great games. TGH and I also have been playing Rock Band on his 360 too. But I think his Xbox may need to be serviced soon. He’s been getting the red light of death. Yikes.

@CatherineL – I really don’t think I did the game justice with this review, but maybe that’s because words can’t describe my obsession. (#):) And BTW, didn’t know you were a gamer!

Hi Bush – it does look interesting. I think I’ll give it a shot. I don’t get time to play many games, but I know my kids will love this one.
