Action Solitaire Review
Horrible, horrible game!
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
This game includes many versions of the mother game, solitaire. It also keeps interest with fast game play and amusing sound effects.
For those of us who take a while before deciding on the move best suited to the situation (and use solitaire as a stress relief), the timer is a nightmare. The price is also too high.
An exiting game to lose yourself into. A game that provokes a new and refreshing method of thinking. If you are looking for the type of game I have described to you, look somewhere else! This game should not be bought. The main points to look at are the price, the game play, and the original solitaire itself.
The price is astronomical! Why would anyone pay over twenty dollars for a game of solitaire? Solitaire is a game that traditionally comes free with most personal systems that play games (Ipod, P.C., etc...). Even now, there are many freeware versions of solitaire on the web. To buy this version is a big waist of money! The game is also not worth the price quality wise. The game is repetitive, frustrating, and just plain boring. The timer adds in to the frustration factor. The game barely even begins before it ends.
The game play itself is not something to be proud of. It is basically a compilation of many different versions of the same game. The games itself are not any different than the generic model they were spun from. Many of the games here can be found on sites like pogo, or yahoo. This game is nothing new. Any version of the solitaire offered in the game is also available in a freeware version. The only thing going for this game in game play would be the sound affects (Personally, I love corny sound affects!).
The original free solitaire was better. The timer in the action solitaire is very nerve racking. In the original, the main point was to beat the game. Sometimes, a player might spend even a half an hour on the game because it was fun to think of where a certain move could take one. Now, it has to be completed in a certain amount of time. The original also never changed. With this one, you have over fifty different versions, all with different rules.
Overall, the game may be addicting, but only for a short amount of time. The game play is nothing special. The price is terrible. This is just a horrible game.
For anyone who is not interested in waisting money (Twenty-two dollars and forty-five cents) on a game of solitaire, avoid this game. For those who use solitaire to wind down, avoid this game. To anyone, there are better games out there for half the cost. Just avoid this game.
