5 out of 5 stars Truly the Ultimate Board Game Collection   July 18, 2008
I love the games. I would like to see a version II of this kind. The jigsaw puzzle game is a bit difficult to maneuver. Overall, I would recommend to a friend.


5 out of 5 stars This is wonderful combination of game action   July 8, 2008
I am so addicted to the backgammon on this. There are several other games but I can't seem to stop playing backgammon. You will love the variety of games on here.

After playing Ubi Soft Sudoku this game doesn't come close, the controls are not conducive to smooth game play. The gaming screen is very small the developers did not take advantage of the PSP's large screen. Don't even think of playing mahjong the tiles are tiny. Also when you flip to Black in playing chess, Black stays on the top! When you play checkers, you have to jump all the pieces; you cannot hold back a piece for strategic position. When you create the jigsaw puzzle you have to keep manipulating the background color on the different boards so that you can place the necessary pieces. Yeah you get what you pay for.

All of the write ups I saw before I bought this game neglected to say what games were included but I bought any way. The games are broken down to 5 catagories: ALL TIME FAVORITES (Backgammon, Checkers, Chess, Chinese Checkers, Reversi) WORDS & NUMBERS (Anagrams, Dice, Kakuro, Sudoku, Word Cubes) PUZZEL GAMES (Concentration, Enigma, Jigsaws, Mahjong) FAMILY FAVORITS (3-D Tic-Tac-Toe, Naval Battle, Parcheesi, Quattro, Snakes and Ladders) STRATEGY GAMES (Dominoes, Go, Mancala, Gomoku, Shogi). In addition to having a lot of obscure games the game is not very intutive. It is difficult to figure out how to get help or get to the tutor mode. The font that is used plus the colors (font and background) make it difficult to read in places. The scoring on some games is different to what I am used to (i.e. dominos) and different from Hoyle's board games (PC/MAC) and so far I have not found a way to adjust change the scoring.


3 out of 5 stars Exactly what it's supposed to be...   August 19, 2007

I've been looking all over the web for reviews of this game, and there haven't been that many. The game websites trash this collection, yet most of us players say good things about it.
I'll totally agree with most of the players on this one. I bought this because I occasionally wanted to play Chess, and a few other board games when I'm away from home, and that is exactly what this game supplies - some nice board games to play on the road.
Yes the graphics aren't much at all, but the fact that it lets you do jigsaw puzzles of your own pictures, and import your own MP3 tunes on here is a very nice feature. Plus, I don't really care if the graphics are that great when I'm playing board games anyway. Great graphics are nice in other games, but the ones here are just fine for this game.
One of the small downsides is it doesn't come with instructions for the games, so for the ones that you've never played before, you'll have to lookup the instructions online.
Overall, and selling for the cheap price that it goes for, this collection is totally worth it.
