PopCap Hits! Vol 2 is a compilation of six classic casual games from the renowned game developer PopCap. While it offers a taste of nostalgia for fans of these games, the overall package is a mixed bag.

One of the standout titles in this collection is Bejeweled 2 Deluxe. This gem-matching puzzle game is addictive and features various game modes to keep players engaged. It's a timeless classic that still holds up well today.

Another notable game is Peggle Deluxe, a whimsical game that combines elements of pinball and pachinko. It's a lot of fun to play and offers a good balance of strategy and luck. However, the lack of additional content or new features may disappoint those who have already played it before.

The other games in the collection, Zuma, Feeding Frenzy 2, AstroPop, and Heavy Weapon, are relatively enjoyable but lack the same level of excitement and replay value as Bejeweled 2 Deluxe and Peggle Deluxe.

While the games in PopCap Hits! Vol 2 may be enjoyable in short bursts, the lack of innovation and new content makes it hard to recommend to those who have played these games before. Additionally, the absence of online multiplayer or leaderboards limits the replayability for those looking for a competitive experience.

Overall, PopCap Hits! Vol 2 is a decent compilation for fans of classic casual games who may want to relive the nostalgia. However, it falls short in providing enough new content or features to justify a purchase for those who have already played these games. If you're a casual gamer looking to dive into these titles for the first time, it might be worth a try, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.
