Customer Reviews of Bicycle Card Games
Nice gameplay but still buggy A nice game overall, with cool graphics and music. However, thorough product testing doesn't seem to have been high on Microsoft's list of things to do.
These are the bugs I've found after playing this game intensively for a week:
Go Fish: If you're the only player left with cards the game doesn't know what to do. You can click all you want on the pile, on your cards, on the other players... but you're going nowhere. Quitting the game (and losing the score) is the only way out.
Canasta: This is the card game I bought this package for. The computer plays a really nice game, but has the following bugs: First, after all players have exchanged their red 3's, the game still insists on checking for red threes in the player's hands after every draw from the pile. Second, even though one of the rules of Canasta is that you cannot go out before you get at least one canasta, the computer players regularly go out this way. This seems to happen when the last card on the player's hand is a Joker that would complete a Canasta. Instead of doing so, the computer discards the joker, leaving you with an illegal hand. Although the computer players are allowed to this, one is not.
I've also seen (though it's usually too fast to be sure) some players, even myself, getting skipped. I'm still trying to prove this one is going on.
One final annoying bug has to do with the computer character's speech. It seems hard-coded to respond to certain events (i.e.: groan if you make a nice play). But they will also do this even if they're playing as your partner.
Overall, the game is good and offers nice game play. I haven't tried the online options yet. But the bugs eventually interfere with the otherwise decent gameplay.
Finally, contrary to another review I saw here about this product, the game does offer several variations of 1-deck and 2-deck solitaire games.
Don't waste your money
I'm sorry I had to give this game even one star. This game pack is so full of programming bugs it's ridiculous. Don't waste your money.
Spider
I enjoyed playing Spider on a friend's computer -- the game came with the XP version of windows. I looked for a copy of the game so I could play it. If that's what you're looking for, I'd suggest buying Hoyle's Card Games. It has Spider, as well as at least 25 other varations of solitaire. I enjoy this product much more! :)
