Yeah, it's Bejeweled. What do you want from us?
Well... We quite like the UI and general graphical style in this one over 3, even if overall there's less to it.

Bejeweled 2 is the perfect example of what a puzzle game should be: fun, simple and immediate, with an intuitive and never frustrating control system. It is ideal both for passing a few minutes, without too much pretension, and for more challenging sessions, constantly trying to improve one's records.
Legendary game, the GOAT of the genre! Candy Crush is merely a weak pretender that could never even hope to compare.
Visions of cloudy skies and rocking tides
It's been about fourteen years since I last saw them. I wasn't much of an Xbox gamer myself. My cousin played a plethora of titles that, fond as I was of them at the time, I would eventually grow to despise. Call of Duty, Crackdown, and other disturbing war empathizing and police enabling products. But as somber as my recollection grows, there's still a glimmer of fond nostalgia in the times we spent gaming together.
The kinds of experiences I can reminisce on and truly long for again.
Even though it was just a single player experience, Bejeweled occupied a shocking amount of our time together. We'd pass the controller back and forth each trying to surpass the others' scores (well, maybe I was struggling a little more than them). It was competitive gaming at its most innocent.
I still get teary eyed whenever I ride a plane and see another variant of Bejeweled, or even some other match 3 knockoff a la Candy Crush, whether on someone's phone or engraved into the seat's screen in front of me. It reminds me of those times. I hope I can see them again soon. Would it be the same? Hard to say, but
In my heart of hearts, I hope to hear next we meet,
"Welcome to Bejeweled 2"

The backgrounds of this game need to be preserved as fantastic examples of 2000s 3D sci-fi/space environment art. I play the soundtrack when I have to do any task that requires more than a single brain cell.
