 Just what I needed July 29, 2008
I work for a security company, and I often find myself in the middle of nowhere with nothing to look at and nobody to talk to. This makes falling asleep a serious risk, as in a risk to my employment and potentially a risk to the people and property I'm protecting. How do I avoid this problem? Playing games like this.
Clubhouse Games has over card games, board games, puzzle games, bowling , billiards, darts, and my personal favorite, shake the bottle, which I'm going to play against my niece the next time I see her. I can and have played this game for hours on end. You can change the look of each game, the rules of each game, and how many players you play against in each game. As you play, you unlock new surprises.
It was worth every penny to buy this game.
 Great variety, but . . . July 14, 2008
It's great to have a big collection of mostly traditional games with all the convenience of the DS. There's sure to be something here for everybody.
On the downside, there are sure to be some games you'll rarely, if ever, bother with. First off, some of them are kids' games and won't be much fun if you're older than six or so. At the other extreme, some are brain-taxing games (e.g., checkers, chess, shogi), and many people will pass those by. Those who don't pass them by will also likely be disappointed, as the AI is much too weak for even a good novice player.
If you're planning to play these games with other people, in the same room or online, it may be a great buy. It'll be fairly easy to find something everybody considers fun; and the game play will be just like any board or card game, only quicker and neater.
But if you're a single-player gamer like me, Clubhouse Games may not be the best choice. There are some pleasant diversions in the mix -- games that are good for passing a bit of time -- but the challenge is lacking in some games, and others just don't feel right without other human players.
I ended up buying Chessmaster, since the Clubhouse Games version of chess is pitifully weak and a little slow and awkward. I also bought Solitaire Overload, for a greater variety of card games for one. Now that I have those, I rarely come back to Clubhouse Games.
I'd like to enjoy a game of backgammon now and then, but the Clubhouse Games version does not have a doubling-cube feature, which limits the strategic challenge of that game.
I also like checkers (draughts), but besides the weak AI, the Clubhouse Games version of checkers is faulty: it allows (actually forces) a man to jump out of the king row upon being kinged. That's contrary to the standard rules of checkers.
So, the variety is there, but quantity doesn't make up for lack of quality. In my view, this is just a promising collection of what turn out to be mostly so-so games.
What is the point of having to unlock things in this game? May 18, 2008
I think the game is well done, but in order to play some games which i prefer, I have to waste time plodding through stupid time wasters like bowling and "i doubt it". I just hurried up and lost to get through them, but I don't know if I want to keep plodding through the time wasters to get to the ones I want to play. There are others ds games which I bought that are fun and don't have any locks like 'brain busters', picross, polarium, conductra, etc. They are good to go, no muss no fuss. I think this concept of the 'locked' games should be a preference that you can set on or off.
