Customer Reviews of Hoyle Board Games 2002

Well worth the money
This is the first Hoyle computer game I've bought. Fantastic! For (the price) they give you chess, checkers, Pachisi (Parchisi), Yacht (a scaled down version of Yahtzee), Chinese Checkers, Backgammon and lots of others. You can set your opponent's skill level and even pick your opponents. Though you might want to turn off the sound on your computer after awhile, the opponent's comments are funny at first. The 120 page instruction book gives rules, strategy tips and even a history of the games. Quite a lot to include with 16 games, and everything was clearly written. You can also get on the Net and play with others, though I haven't done this yet. Another fun plus is the Face Maker feature where you name and make a face for your own player. Buy this game. It is well worth the money.

Over commercialised and CD Dongle
The game play is alright, graphics don't have to be fancy for board games. My problem with the whole Hoyle game line is the Annoyance screens for their other game packages when you quit.
I can see this being in a Demo, but was really mad when it was there in game that I purchased. Another Anoyance is the CD dongle. Character speech files are kept on the CD, you have to have the CD in to hear it. There is also an annoying delay that freezes game play When the cd spins up when a character speaks

the games play just like the board versions but it could have been designed better and without the annoyance advertisements
