    4 Stars Another good online games site 31/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It has a great site layou and the games are fun to play on

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very small chance you will actually win anything

    I joined Jamba.co.uk over a year ago and had been playing on uproar.co.uk so much I got bored of it. I was looking through Ciao.com and came across Jamba, which I had forgotten about so at the beginning of March, I started playing it again and because I love it, so much I decided I would write an opinion about it I am now going to take some time telling you about most of the games on the site. There are many different categories so here goes: TRIVIA: FOOTIE – You are asked 15 questions and try to answer them all correctly as fast as you can and challenge for the top score. The questions ... more

    4 Stars both good and bad 15/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Some good games, a chance to win, some fun to be had

    Disadvantages Disadvantages some games are uninspiring, also some scams going on

    You've read the other opinions about Jamba. Both good and bad reports, so it's a mixed bag. I signed up with Jamba years ago, when they first launched, and so have had quite a range of experiences. Let me tell you the true story. Jamba is so big that there are many games, some better than others. Stick with me, this could take some time, but don't feel the need to read every bit of it. 1. THE SITE The site looks reasonable. The loading times are poor and you do need a shockwave/flash enabled browser to view it. It is well organised and you can find what you want quickly and easily. 2. THE ... more

    2 Stars Complete Rubbish 11/09/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good variety of games

    Disadvantages Disadvantages if you can get them to work, that is

    And I'm not just saying that because I've never won either, the games take ages to load, it continuously freezes up my system so if I did ever win anything I doubt I would be able to do anything about it, and it has a lot of banners making it slow to load each time you click on something. The site "looks" good though, very professionally designed and all that, but just not up to standard when compared to its rivals, Tombola being one of them, Uproar, (which I don't rate that highly,) being another. If you can get it to work, fine, it should be fun, but I'd leave off until around the end of ... more

    5 Stars For people who like to play 15/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great graphics, great fun and the chance of winning a prize

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes slow to download

    WARNING!!! This site is addictive. I decided to log on to this site after seeing an advertisement on t.v. I have to admit it's really good. There is something for everyone, word games, skill games, quizes on all subjects and gameshow games. Some of the games take a while to download but if you want to play again, and you will, you don't have to wait. One of my favourites is a game called Chain Reactors, which is a kind of Tetris game. The graphics are very good. You can also win lots of prizes on this site by getting the high score. There are some really good high scores though so you may need ... more

    2 Stars Cool 22/02/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages You laugh at how crap it is.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything. Its crap

    Jamba...what can I say? Some of the games were cool, some werent. I think older people wouldn't enjoy many of the games but there is one or two that they would like. If you liked uproar (which I do) then stick with it! Sometimes its better not to try new things and just stick with what you like. Im reccommending that right now. None of the games really mean anything and your chance of winning stuff is like 1 in a millionzillion. It's not fun to play against these losers who are on there computers 24 7. They always win. I know what your thinking "Who cares about winning, what about fun?" Ok ... more

    4 Stars Strawberry Jamba 27/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very slow to load

    I registered with Jamba about a year ago and I haven't stopped playing. It's a very handy when bored at work! - I enjoy playing darts - Move your mouse back, press the button, and push forward to throw! It doeasnt sound fun, but believe me it is! I've also just discovered Blankety Blank which I also play a lot (at work) hehe. Players must fill in a gap of a sentence with a certain word. If you choose the word that most of the others plyers chose, you earn bonus points. The quizes are also a favourite of mine: Football Trivia, Pop Trivia and many more, which features a weekly prize. Although ... more

    2 Stars Jamba, The game site we love to hate 17/06/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Great in theory...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ...hopeless in practice

    Jamba is one of the buggiest, most poorly-supported commercial websites I have ever clapped eyes on! Repeated playing of some of the games cause my browser to hang up (bad memory management by the game software?). The procedure for claiming prizes goes from bad to worse - they've presently reverted to a crude email claim system because the automatic system was so buggy. High score tables disappear. Winners are not listed in a clear, regular, reliable way. Prizes are listed one week, and next week no mention is made of anybody winning them. Complaints are seldom responded to (and never ... more

    2 Stars Free Stuff 16/11/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages It's free.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It doesn't work very well.

    You can win money, laptops and sundry other prizes... claims the web site. Now, if Ciao still let me punctuate my review title then Free Stuff would certainly end with a ?. Jamba is, well, total tosh! The games take an absolute age to load up and, more often that not, don’t work very well if/once they start to run on your machine. You don’t win prizes either; you win annoying junk mail. At least, I don’t know anyone who has won a price. You might not even believe me that there is a link to follow if “you believe you have one a prize” in which you are supposed to tell the Jamba team just what ... more

    5 Stars great games great prizes 18/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great site

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Without a doubt i would have to recommend Jamba.co.uk as a site well worth a visit if you enjoy playing online games and competitions. Jamba has an easy to use design, and all games are easy to find. What i enjoy most about this site is that although there are loads of prizes on offer every week, and some of these can be won by simply clicking a box, a lot of the games require a good amount of trivia knowledge, and as such actually provide a real challenge, which i tend to find is lacking on other competition sites. The way the competitions are set out is excellent with innovative ideas for ... more

    5 Stars Fun equals Jamba 11/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Can win Prizes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not for those with old PC's

    I just signed up at this site today after becoming a bit of an on-line games addict of late. This is a fun site with heaps of different games from bingo to catchphrase and also Jamba features some fun casino games. I personally love the slot machine 'Fame and Fortune'. You can win a hundred quid and even if you aren't even close there is a sense of nearly winning all the time. You need flash shockwave to play these games and as I have said before, beware those with low spec computers and slow modems. They just might not be up to it. ... more
