The tiles are soooo small!!! May 17, 2008

I am an adult gamer who apparently is getting up in age where I am starting to need reading glasses.
I have played MahJong online on my PC many times and enjoyed it. When I found out they made one for the DS, I was excited!
I was shocked that the tiles were so small that I couldn't tell the differences. I have less then perfect vision and only need reading glasses. Since I haven't bought a reading glasses yet, I can barely read the tiles. It was too much of a strain trying to recognoize tiles. After about 1/2 hour my eyes got used to the tiles and was able to see the differences and played. Then it became fun to play.
It's a shame they had to make the tiles so small making it hard for those who have less than perfect vision. I'll see how I feel once I get reading glasses. If that doesn't help the strain, I will sell the game back out.
If you like Mahjong games you will enjoy this one May 14, 2008

Overall, I really like this game. I have played Mahjong on the computer and my GBA (which I can seem to find anymore) for years and was looking for a version for DS.
I like that you have the option of playing the progessive game or just the traditional puzzles. I tend to get stuck on the "quest" puzzles so being able to switch back and forth between the quest and the regular puzzles keeps me interested.
Others have complained about the size of the tiles but considering the size of the screen, what can you expect? I find it really isn't that bad, you get used to it.
I can honestly say that this is one of my most played games.
fun, fun, fun April 14, 2008

I love playing this game. It can keep me busy for hours. I got it for road trips and it keeps my mind off traffic while my husband drives.

I want to say that I, too, have less than good eyesight ... but I wanted this game because I love these types of games and no other system since Lynx and the early Game Boy has had a game like this available. Those systems had "Shanghai" a form of Mah Jong. Let me tell you...THOSE screens WERE small and kinda blurry too!
At first I had a bit of trouble seeing the tiles, but after I got used to the complex designs of the tiles and got used to what I was seeing, and able to see the differences in them, it got easier and it is one of my favorite games.
I really wish I could turn the timer off because I like to leisurely play games of this nature without the stress of hurrying up...but still ... I wouldn't part with it. For me, it's a definite keeper.
I'm just glad that this game is available. I think there needs to be more of this type of game as well as more card games and traditional type games for adults.
I highly recommend this game but I would advise those of you with less than perfect eyesight to give it some time to get used to it. It's not a game you can just sit down and immediately master. It takes a while to get used to the tiles ... but once you do, you will really enjoy it.
 A little small, but fun March 22, 2008

I really enjoy this game. It is a little hard to see because the tiles are very small, but all in all, it is a really fun game.
