 Basic Games on an electronic system July 11, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this used ($19) because I LOVE Monopoly (have 3 electronic versions & 7 board games). To me the other games were just extras. I haven't had any of the problems of the other reviewers.
Monopoly: I love it!!The game saves quickly. The game pieces are somewhat animated with sound effects (horse gallops, car vrooms & toots, shoe hops & scuffs, etc). Gameplay is good. I wish there was an easier way to see what everyone else has...but, I just click on "trade" and I have it all there...then have to hit B to leave without trading.
Boggle: many words are not in the dictionary. It can get frustrating when the game doesn't pick up a letter you chose, or it chooses the one next to it instead.
Battleship: I like it. You can choose from a number of graphics (classic, viking, underwater, etc) for your ships. I wish I'd win more often.
Yahtzee: It looks like Deluxe Yahtzee. Sometimes it can be difficult to choose just one dice. Overall, it's fun.
For me, the biggest disappointment was that you can't play between 2 systems with one card (only Boggle - single game, & Battleship - single game).
We are considering a 2nd game when it comes up used...but after reading the reviews today, I'll have to research what we can play between the two systems first.
 Monopoly DS, fun! March 31, 2006

I really enjoyed playing Monopoly on this title. Monopoly has an interesting ticker at the top of the DS screen which displays game stats. Sound was ok, not annoying after four games. The game has a very fast save feature and load time, for Monopoly.
I exploited this feature to cheat, by saving first. Then roll the dice and see what happens, if you do not like the outcome, simply exit the game. The main menu will load in a second, then click Monopoly and load game. You will return to where you were in less than 3 seconds total time!
 What you would expect, but has flaws March 20, 2006

This aptly if not creatively titled game is what you would epxect. It gives you the chance to play these four games on the go. Two of the games benefit from the DS's extra touch screen--Boggle and Battleship. Overall, I've enjoyed playing these games, but I find the single player challange of Battleship and Yahtzee to be really shallow. And the two games I play the most--Monopoly and Boggle have issues. Monopoly plays great when it works, but it freezes up a lot. I've learned to save frequently. Boggle doesn't freeze, but its internal dictionary has been overly censored. There are many words that I do not consider vulgar that are not counted as words. I would still recommoned this collection if you want to play these games on the go, but I wouldn't pay full price for the collection. You can find this game used for $10 less.

i have to say...i am disappointed. i found bugs galore in the boggle game. if i click on one letter it thinks i am clicking on a different one. it is really frustrating...yahtzee worked fine for me but overall the 4 games are not that great.

I was so looking forward to this set of games and was excited to get it. But after 3 days, I am ready to throw it in the trash. There are so many bugs in it that it is totally ridiculous! I especially notice it in Yahtzee. You touch one dice on the screen, and something else on the other side reacts, or else you get 2 or 3 reacting instead of just one. Or you touch something at the bottom for scoring and something totally different fills in! Then it doesn't credit you with the bonus when you get multiple Yahtzees. The other games aren't quite as bad, but things are screwed up in them as well. For most of them, I can't even get in without having to touch the screen several times to get it to react, and then it's only right 2/3 of the time.
I can't even get any support on Atari's site because the game isn't on there yet. I'm left with calling a toll number, which I haven't done yet. Hopefully something can be done.
