Sound puzzle title from a thoroughbred Sega stable that allows up to five player mash ups with a multitap. The Egyptian themed one player mode is fun, but its multiplayer where the action really heats up. Special power ups distinguish this from other Columns titles as special jewels trickle down the screen. These can lower your own playing field or raise up your opponents. Nastier jewels send the screen black and white making distinguishing the colours somewhat tricky, or reverse the controls messing with the min, or even flip the playing field upside down. Overall a fine arcade puzzler.

Thomas R. ★★★★★

Got this for game night with friends and the five-player mode via multitap is pure chaos in the best way. The one-player Egyptian levels are decent warm-up, but the real fun starts when everyone’s matching columns at once.

Christopher ★★★★★

The multitap setup works flawlessly for five-player mayhem—we had four friends over last weekend and it was chaos in the best way. The Egyptian-themed puzzles in single-player are a nice warm-up, but the real fun starts when everyone’s dropping columns at once.

Joseph ★★★★★

I plugged in a second controller and suddenly the living room turned into a competitive puzzle arena—the multiplayer with five players is absolutely chaotic and brilliant. The Egyptian single-player mode is a nice warm-up, but the real fun starts when you're racing friends to clear columns.
