 A Very Satisfying Suite of Games August 7, 2008

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.

Have not used it because it absolutely will not go on to my Vista computer. Help line at Vista has been zero help. Have to say Amazon is great in that it came quickly.

This is one great games to play, I love the search a word, the gravity tiles and most of the others. (Even though there are some I haven't tried. But each night you find me at my PC playing these games. I will also keep checking back to see if you have any more games like these. Thanks again. Jean
