3 out of 5 stars Fun but could be better   June 3, 2007

This game is fun for a short time but gets boring really quick. The computer player comments get old really fast.


5 out of 5 stars Made me enjoy chess for the first time in my life   March 18, 2007

My copy of big bang board games came already installed in my macbook, but had I been able to play them before buying the mac, I would've bought them anyway. You can play against the Sun or Moon characters, or online against others, or in the "hotseat" against a friend (the camera in the mac puts your picture up when you're playing if you wish). The game contains chess, checkers, backgamman, four-in-a-row, tic tac toe, and a few others as well. You can play normal or "fantasy" versions of each game--the fantasy versions simply change the colors of the pieces and/or make the board/game larger in scope. The Sun and Moon characters are amusing with their comments, and you can change their abilities across a wide variety, so its fun for beginners and experts alike. I didn't know how to play backgammen, though I had tried to learn before, and this taught me very quickly. I love this set. Very fun.


5 out of 5 stars Freeverse's ultimate addition to the Deluxe Board Games   December 22, 2004

When the Deluxe Board Games was the best there could be, the Big Bang Board Games! It uses the iChat application to play 7 (I think) fantastic games. With the click of a button you can send your "game key" to anyone on your buddy list. Even if your friend dosen't have it, you can send the whole game to him/her with the click of another button. The games are great and the interface is amazing. The backround music is very pretty. Overall, this game is completely worth it.
