 Great Escape! September 30, 2008
R. Marciniak (Wisconsin)
The "Tile Games" in this edition are a lot of fun. What's nice is there are several ways to play them. Our 19 year-old grandson enjoyed it so much, I had to order him one, too. What we liked the most was the "Slide Tiles." It's very addictive. Rummy Squares is also a good one. Any "Seniors" out there would enjoy this, but it's also fun for the teenagers. My recommendation is Go For It.!

This product is absolutely fantastic! I have Microsoft Vista and this was easy to install. I have had hours and hours of pleasure with the great assortment of games. I also have the Hoyle cards games and I would recommend this too.
A Very Satisfying Suite of Games August 7, 2008
B. Klein (St. Louis, Missouri)
The Hoyle Puzzle & Board Game CD actually gave me far more than I expected for the <$20 price. It features many of the games I used to play in my youth and, unlike a previous set that came with my computer, isn't filled with bugs and work-arounds. In fact, the computer-characters' responses are quite clever and challenging, forcing me to hone my skills and, after playing dozens of games, I haven't come across any real errors. The characters (and you can create new ones) are given a large vocabulary of appropriate remarks, including responses to either compliments or insults.
I am particularly impressed with the sophistication, variety and detail of the billiards game set - it allows all kinds of shots and even 'English' on the cue ball.
Minor annoyances: it takes seven or eight clicks (with waits between) to exit from Billiards, and the 'cosmic' accompaniment to the Sudoku is tremendously distracting to me, even though I like how each square allows highlighting all possibilities for that square.
