In Zuma\u2019s Revenge!<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>the player takes the role of a fearless ball-shooting frog, exploring ancient temples and ruins. By firing colored spheres into an advancing chain of balls to make matches of three or more, the frog blasts his way through a series of arcade challenges. The sequel brings the player to an all-new setting, the Polynesian paradise ruled by Zhaka Mu. Zuma\u2019s Revenge! effectively re-imagines the ball-blasting fun of the original Zuma from the ground up with eye-popping high-res graphics, new game mechanics and modes, boss battles and more.<\/p>\n
