Games » Bookworm Review

Bookworm is yet another game from PopCap, the creators of Bejeweled and Peggle. Instead of eliminating jewels or pegs like the other two games, Bookworm is all about finding words in the different columns that are on the screen. Similar to Boggle or other word-search games, the app puts a twist on the classic game style by adding different powerups and dangers to watch out for. The classic game is not like other games in that it isn't timed. Instead, words must be made using the burning letters before they burn through to the bottom of the screen. It's all about competing for the highest score.

Although this game is still well made and the sounds and graphics work great, this game is definitely not my most favorite of the PopCap games. There isn't as much satisfaction trying to find words and submitting them compared to the amazing feeling of eliminating a ton of jewels or watch the ball bounce off pegs racking up the score. Bookworm is definitely more of a calculated game that is a bit less casual than the other two.

But overall, it is still a well-designed game that will keep you entertained for hours if words are your thing. The powerups and dangerous tiles make it one of the best word search games on the iPhone and it definitely has my pick as the one to get. At the time of this review it was on sale at a dirt cheap price so check it out and try it out for yourself. It is a really fun game.
