3 Dimensional Mahjong

Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe is a unique 3D take on the classic Chinese tile matching game, mahjong. In this game you are faced with a three dimensional cube comprised of smaller cubes. It is your goal to pair the individual blocks with their partner in order to make them disappear from the game space. Each pair gives you points, and pairing with both speed and precision gives you added multipliers. Mahjongg Dimensions is a great spin-off game and poses an addicting and strategy invoking challenge.

Solve Mahjong Puzzles

In Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe you travel from world to world (six in total) to solve three dimensional mahjong puzzles. Each world represents a different element i.e. fire and water, and is comprised of six individual levels. In these levels, which increase in difficulty as you advance, it is your goal to pair all the cubes you can while racing the clock.

Unique Perspective

Unlike the traditional two-dimensional game which gives you access to all the tiles present, this game requires you to spin the game space in order to see all the blocks. There will be times when you will not be able to see matchable pairs on the screen without first rotating the game space, giving you a better overall view. Manipulating the playing area by rotating it by either using the A and D keys or clicking with the mouse, gives this game a great strategic element along with increasing the playability.

Some Nice Strategy Elements With Special Bonuses

Bonuses and reward pieces are important ways to increase the speed and likelihood of completing each level. You might find the red gems useful. When paired these turn the entire game space blue, making it possible to pair all the available pieces. Other bonus tiles can add to your total time or slow down time. These are especially crucial late in the game when there is very little time available. Another useful tile is a bomb tile. Once paired this piece explodes, eliminating the blocks in the immediate and vicinity of the paired tiles. This is useful for eliminating big chunks of blocks.

Several Game Modes That Don't Vary Much

This game has several modes that are essentially the same thing. In it you can play the normal adventure-based mode which is timed, or you can play an untimed and casual game. A hard mode is also unlocked after successfully completing levels from the original adventure. All three of these game options are designed on the same premise and incorporate the same accomplishments and goals. The only difference is the level of difficulty or the amount of time you have to complete the level. Having the same or similar modes leads to one of the major limiting factors of the game, monotony.

Limited Play Options

The major flaw of this game is with the limited options of play. Since all the game modes are essentially the same, getting tired and bored with the game is a likely symptom of playing. Opening this game to online play or another game mode would be great for the playability and replayability. This game is revolutionary when it comes to mahjong, however, it becomes boring because there is essentially only one way to play.

Conclusion - Recommended For the Unique 3D Aspect

Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe is a step in the right direction when it comes to mahjong. The three-dimensional game board along with the bonus tiles add a lot to the game, keeping it entertaining and engaging. Despite only having one style of play this game is very complete and will definitely keep you intrigued.
