Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Oldies Are Goodies Comment: While the graphics are very old-school, these games are classics and have all their spunk left! Customer Rating: Summary: So Many Bugs Comment: This game is an awful disappointment. There are bugs in the game that make it impossible to play the game directly. For example in Sorry I had a piece in home and one of the opponents were able to bump in back to start just by landing on the space next to home. Also the aggrivation game glitchs half way through and won't let you out of start even if you roll the right number. Don't waste your money Customer Rating: Summary: Gameboy Advance Sorry/Aggervation/Scrabble Junior Comment: I haven't tried Sorry yet but Scrabble Junior was complicated at first and once I figured it out it couldn't hold my attention it's more for children. Aggervation was just boring... Customer Rating: Summary: Flawed and Limited, But At Least The Games Are Available Comment: I bought a Game Boy Advance unit recently simply because board and card games are finally available to players who don't really fancy the arcade-style games. The sheer availability of the games is a plus in itself. I haven't tried the Scrabble Jr., so this review concerns itself with Sorry and Aggravation. In general, the graphics are excellent and the game play good -- when it works (in the case of Aggravation). Had Aggravation not had a couple major problems, I'd have rated the package with 5 stars. SORRY: I would have paid the price of the game for Sorry alone, and since it plays a fairly good game, I consider the money well spent. 1) SORRY FLAWS: Very occasionally the game seems to become confused when an opponent's pawn is on your starting spot and you enter a pawn and send it back to its start. Subsequently a pawn of mine got sent back for no reason I could see. 2) SORRY LIMITATIONS: A) As a previous reviewer noted, when activating the Sorry or "11" cards, the human player has no choice about which opponent's pawn to affect with these. B) The computer players never take advantage of the special features of the "7" and "11" cards when these would benefit them. For example, with a "7" card you can either move one pawn 7 spaces or split the move between 2 pawns; the computer players never choose the latter option. C) You cannot save a game. AGGRAVATION: I'm new to this game and enjoyed it immensely, but be aware that the game may go haywire in mid-game and you may need to quit and begin the game afresh. I've written Destination Software about this but have heard nothing from them yet. 1) AGGRAVATION FLAWS: A) Sometimes in mid-game the game refuses to move pawns for one or more of the players, human or computer, even when they can legitimately move. This conditon lasts for the remainder of the current game usually, although sometimes it clears up after several turns. I haven't been able to figure out what causes this freeze-up. B)Occasionally an opponent's pawns will simply vanish from the board, only to reappear a few turns later, again for no discernible reason. 2) AGGRAVATION LIMITATIONS: A) In the offical rules, you may not jump one of your own pawns, but the electronic version waives this rule, probably for a faster and easier game. B) You cannot save a game. Customer Rating: Summary: A Bunch Of Sorry Games Comment: I hated all three games and here's why Cons: -very little player interaction, the games almost play themselves. Just press the "A" button -no game enhancements, or cool animations. The graphics are photo realistic, but have no animations. -pathetic sound effects, consisting of *beeps* and *boops* -annoying music, after a few minutes of the generic music slamming your brain, you'll want to mute it. -Scrabble Jr. doesn't understand the words your make, and the CPU will make up bogus words that don't exist and reward itslef with points. -no game options. It would of been nice to adjust the rules of the games. -boring gameplay, when a game has no fun features other than pressing the "A" button it is not even a game anymore. -Sorry is the best game in the pack, but it plays at a very slow pace Pros: +photo realistic graphics DSI, robbed gamers yet again with pathetic games that look nice, but play terrible and without gameplay enhancements of any sorts. If you want a good board game, buy the old "monopoly" version for the gameboy color, which is compatible with gameboy advance.
