Good games with a few drawbacks
Good standard games like Checkers, Backgammon, Parcheesi, Goh, but with strange game names (copyright issues?). Works with Windows Vista. One big drawback: you can’t adjust sound volume once you start the program, so be sure to set your PC volume before starting up. Also, Parcheesi can get frustrating because you have to click many times to try to get the pieces to move, and sometimes they just won’t move to where you put them, even following game rules. Yahtzee and Dominoes are fun with a virtual opponent that “talks.” Wish the easy levels were easier to play. What would be the harm in writing games that people can win? Society makes it hard enough to feel good. I prefer games that don’t make me feel like I’m losing most of the time. I do like being able to create a player icon. It would be better if the player icons could be programmed to say things you’d like them to say. Possibly integrate with a .pdf file? All in all, my second favorite after Play 101.

Impressed
I have played the classic version forever and was leery about trying this version because of reviews. Well I must say I was very happy with the purchase but not happy that some of the older characters had been removed and have found no reason whatsoever for the face creator. I love all the extra games that have been added and have been playing the games on a daily basis, I find the games to be fun and challenging. It did take me about an hour to get the game installed on my computer, I am using Windows XP SP3, the problem was not with the game but something I had to download from Microsoft. With all said I am very happy I decided to purchase this game and the price was very reasonable compared to other web sites.

Hoyle Puzzle and board games
This game is no different from the 2007 one I already have. I ended up returning it because there is no difference between it and the older game. Oh yes, there is a difference: you can’t go back and check your scores against the game like you could on the older one. I”m going back to that one.

Poor Quality
I purchased this program to for a little diversion. The games provide only a slight challenge even when set on the most advanced settings. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY – if it were free, you might have a deal, but other than that, it is really poor. The programming and logic are set for elementary school students – maybe

Seems OK for the price
I can’t speak for the issues reported in Vista and 7, but I’m running it on XP and it installed and runs fine. It seems a little quirky but works as intended for me. I know it’s possible to get a chess board and play chess with a friend, but I was looking for a chess game that could be played human vs. computer or human vs. human. I ordered Fritz 10, Majestic Chess, and this game. This is the only one of the three that allowed games in human vs. human. In fact, this will let you play most of the games on it in Human vs. Computer or Human vs. Human. I like that because my kids are bad about losing pieces to games, there is nothing to pick up when you are done, and there is rule enforcement.The bad stuff: It has an odd thing that allows you to earn in game money and unlock other features of the game. My first thought was, “hey, I paid for it already, all the features should be available.” The computer can just smoke you, even on easy settings, too. If you aren’t a checkers grandmaster, forget winning a game against the computer on its version of checkers.The good stuff: Chess was on par with the dedicated chess games that I ordered…plus you get all the other games. You can set the board in 2d or 3d, which is nice, because I like 2d better than the 3d. I like chess, but I guess I’m just not good enough, because even the easy settings on here can be pretty brutal.And best of all, the price is nice on it.

Like the Board Games
I chose this game because of the board games that are on the DVD. I read reviews stating that the older versions (starting around the 2010 year) were better that the newer versions, so I ordered this one. I had an older version of the Hoyle Board Games when it was released by Sierra. That version was lots of fun and I liked the computer characters. This version is very similar, but just updated. The characters make remarks toward your playing and you can create your avatar. I have not really played the puzzle games that much because the board games was my main reason for buying the software. I had not problems loading on my Windows (Vista).

Old school board games.
If you like the classics in gamming, then this is not a bad deal. You get a lot of games packed into 1. This was a good choice for my laptop which I had NO games on, and I wanted to pass time while traveling. The only bad part was the lack of multi-player support. As anyone knows 1/2 the fun of the game is the playing against someone else. The multi-player part aside the games were fun and easy to play, they also have have help for new players, so if you are new to a game, or not played in a long time there is no need to worry.
