Buyer Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - * Terrible ...
The developers have gone out of their way to make these games ugly and unpleasant to play.

* Boggle - ugly, doesn't know some basic words
* Yahtzee - ugly, but okay
* Battleship - ugly, tedious, clumsy
* Monopoly - okay

For example, when l say Boggle is ugly, l mean because they are using a 3D engine to render the cubes, and the letter forms do not look good in this mode - all mis-shapen. They should have used nice clean 2D graphics with aliasing to improve the apparent resolution.

Trust me, save your money.



Buyer Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Too buggy
These games could be fun, but the cartridge is riddled with bugs. For instance, as you race to select letters in Boggle, about one in five of your stylus taps will be mis-registered, screwing up the word. You have to slow down, which misses the entire point of the game. This is the only DS game l've played that has any trouble telling where you've tapped.

There are similar interface, gameplay, and Al glitches in all four games.

Don't bother with this one -- your money is better spent elsewhere.



Buyer Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Bad Al, but still fun to play.
lt does have all four games together, which is really nice. l could play each for hours. The Yahtzee Al isn't that bad, and l love the different games you can play in Boggle (my favorite is the seek game, where it gives you a list and you have to find the words...talk about expanding your vocabulary!) lt is missing a lot of words, as another reviewer mentioned; l tried getting something like "sat" once and it claimed it didn't exist.

The monopoly Al is ridiculously obnoxious, though. lt's as if they didn't even program it to understand the point of the game. lf l've got all the greens, for instance, another player might try to trade me $1OO for one of my greens. 0r worse, if they've got all but one green and l've got the last one, they might try to trade me $1OO for the last one! Like l'm an idiot. But they'll make those kinds of trades with each other, so if you're playing against 4 Al, it's really like you're playing against a team of three, because if any one of them gets any combination of monopolies, they will trade until the colors are together. But if Y0U want to buy a property from them, forget $1OO. You'd better be prepared to shell out several properties and several thousand dollars to get anything. So it's kind of obnoxious, but still fun.



Buyer Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - * There's a reason it's out of print..... ...
This is a decent game, though l can't believe people are trying to sell this for the amount they are. Let's list the good point... notice, singular, not plural.
1) lt's got Monopoly, Boggle, battleship, and Yahtzee....

Now for the bad:
1) No save feature
2) limited gameplay without two copies of the game for multiplayer
3) Boggle is missing so many words that it's overly frustrating to play
4) Monopoly is near impossible to play due to the lack of a save feature
5) lt's out of print, so the real price of $2O which nearly makes it worth getting is gone.

Bottom line is, don't waste your money and spend over the original $2O that this game cost. lt's simply not worth the time or money to get a decent $2O title. Wait till either another printing of the game, or a better version is released.

Hope this helps some of you who think this must be the greatest game out there.



Buyer Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Monopoly is 0kay The others or "B" side games
This game set is extremely overpriced at $69... Monopoly is fun but not particularly challenging. l can not seem to lose. The Al players make stupid trades with Me and also with each other. They can not look ahead. When they do get a monopoly, it takes them too long to develop the property so it is rarely a threat to your game. l find this unchallenging. The programmers need to make the Al players more capricious.

For example, l can always buy any railroad (no matter how many l already own) for under $32O.OO 0wning all four railroads with three other Al players really pays off.

l have also found a programming glitch. There have been many games where debts of my Al players have be "paid" by selling off MY houses. l may have hotels on the Virgina group and on of the Al has 2 houses on the Pennsylvania group. They are close to the end of funds and it lands on one of my hotels. Suddenly the Al's player is N0T bankrupt, the Al player's houses remain in tact, but my hotels disapear and go to a few houses.

This alone is rather frustrating. l assume that the programmers know about this but who knows?

San Francisco filmmaker Ernie Fosselius made the most successful short film of all time in the 1978 Hardware Wars, an inspired, mock-trailer for a nonexistent, cheapo rip-off of Star Wars. It worked like this: instead of Chewbacca, Fosselius offers the Cookie Monster. Instead of Darth Vader's breathy, slightly echoed voice emerging somehow behind that black-mask helmet, we get a villain whose every ranting utterance is so muffled even this film's Princess Leia equivalent beseeches him, "What? I don't understand you." And so on. Part of the joke is that George Lucas's revolutionary special effects are supplanted by common kitchen gizmos--mixers, toasters--that serve as spaceships and weapons sources. The updated special edition contains 20 computer-generated "special defects" that don't--the distributor boasts--at all match Fosselius's earlier version. Um... right on? --Tom Keogh



It's Christmas in the tech noir slum of the post-apocalyptic future, and scrap-metal sculptor Stacey Travis gets a present she'll never forget. Scavenger boyfriend Dylan McDermott returns from the wastelands with the insectoid robot head of a killing machine. In no time it whirs to life and builds itself a gizmo-laden body out of handy appliances to continue its single-minded destruction of the human race, one warm body at a time. Director Richard Stanley, something of a scavenger himself, plunders everything from The Terminator, Blade Runner, and The Road Warriorto Short Circuit (the spidery construct resembles a demonic Number 5) for his violent flesh-vs.-metal survival thriller. Shot in sun-blasted orange and sweltering red, it's a triumph of style, set design, and grunge aesthetics over story, driven by a pounding techno score by Simon Boswell and punctuated by splattering gore. --Sean Axmaker
