Guess Who Star Wars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My kids were so excited to get this game for Christmas. I remember playing Guess Who and I was equally excited to play this with them. I thought, how cool, we all love Star Wars, this is going to be great. Wow, was I wrong!
From the second you open the box, you can see this is not the same quality as the old edition of this game. You have to punch out all the pieces and assemble the game and when you do, you will be extremely frustrated because the plastic window pieces do not stay in place or easily slide open and closed. Unlike the old edition, where you could turn it on its side and all the pictures would open up, 90% of these stay closed and you have to force them open. When you do, the windows pop out of their holders. When you're playing, the windows don't close easily and pop out continuously as well. It's so frustrating for the kids to wait between each game while I spend time forcing all the windows back open.
The card stock with the pictures is low quality as well. They're smaller and get bent easier. This is a piece of junk. I e-mailed Milton Bradley with these complaints weeks ago and have not received a response. Apparently, the are laughing all the way to the bank. It looks like this cost them about 3 cents to produce and I paid $25 for this game.

Cathedral Classic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Cathedral" is a simple game to learn and one that will be quickly picked up by anyone who tries it.
The idea is to take over as much territory within a medieval town's walls as possible. You do this by placing your various buildings in strategic places within the playing area.
The game itself is made from wood, and the pieces are quite a good size. As such, they are durable and will last ages before any wear and tear begins to show.
I personally found myself quickly becoming bored with the game, as it does not seem to have the endless variety that a game such as chess can provide. The relative movements and strategies you can develop are fairly limited, in that sense.
However, "Cathedral" is different and it is simple. If there are only two players, it makes a quick, fast game to fill a few minutes with. However, should your inclincations be toward longer, more in-depth games, this is not the best of them.

Imagine yourself living during Medieval Times, the period of history referred to as the Middle Ages. In the game of Cathedral, you are a rich and powerful landowner. The playing board represents the site of the walled city. Two sets of playing pieces symbolize both the buildings and the two opposing forces who battle to gain control by strategically positioning their building pieces back on the board. In this game of competition and rivalry, victory goes to the player who is best at blocking and out-maneuvering their opponent. This wooden game includes 1 board, 28 buildings, 1 cathedral, and rules. Two players. Ages 8 and up.

Igor: The Monster Making Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 6-year-old loves to play games with me. Some are more interesting than others, and I always hope he'll choose IGOR, which he often does. Its combination of skill in analyzing probabilities and sheer luck even the playing field without being boring. I can try as hard as I want to win and he still does quite a bit. My understanding of the logic involved grew over several game plays and I still make adjustments in my strategy. My six-year-old picked up on the logic really quickly, too, and I love the fact that he's using his brain while we play together. I actually bought one as a Christmas gift for my sister's family this year we like it so much.

Battleship Electronic Star Wars edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this game for my 6 year old, and was very sorry I spent sooo much money on it! When I buy an electronic version of an established game or toy, I expect it to do some of the work for me. Is that asking too much? But in Star Wars Battleship, the two players have to punch buttons to enter each ship on their side. It takes a looonnnngggg time to set up the game before you can every play. Even in the "Classic" game mode. Then, you just spend your whole time entering coordinates. It takes much longer than the old basic Battleship to play. The only thing that is fun about this version is the voices and the hits that
you make.
My son could do this game after some coaching on how to enter coordinates, but the players still have to keep track of their hits and misses with little red and white pegs. The game does none of the work and tedious stuff for you! The only electronic part of the game are the voices and sound effects. I suppose you could play this game a lot faster by just not turning it on and playing it like the classic board game.
If you are a die-hard Star Wars fan, you will buy this game no matter what I say. In my opinion, though, it is just not worth the money. Especially when a parent sees how much work and hassle the whole game is. We've had more fun over the holidays playing with the basic board game "Trouble" that cost $10.
I would return the game if I could, but the stickers are in place, and the baggies are emptied. Tough luck for me, but maybe I can help someone else avoid the high sticker price, and the hassle.
