What Great Fun
I love words games and of course, Scrabble is the King of word games. I love the different levels of opponent. Most of all I like playing Scrabble when I feel like it, by myself. Rating:

It cheats!
This game is well done, fun, and addictive, BUT it cheats. There are a small number of words in its dictionary that do not appear in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary (4th edition). It beat me tonight (barely) by using GADJO. If you look this up in the OSPD4, it isn't there. If you look it up in its own online version, it's there, but with "Definition not available". If you look it up in Google, it's a Barcelona-based gypsy-ska group, which gets its name from the Roma word for non-Romanji people. (That's the sort of obscure word that Scrabble lives by, but to use such a word when it is NOT in the OSPD is just cheating!) This is the second or third time in a year or so that I have encountered one of these. Grrrr.... Rating:

Too many unusual words
this Scrabble accepts a number of non English words that seem to me totally unnecessary...
Why not stick to english??

interesting enough
If you really love Scrabble, this version of this game is not going to keep you playing a lot. But if you are a new or curious gamer, it's going to be interesting enough for getting into your collection.
Good points:
+ Nice interface.
+ Great English dictionary included.
+ Nice basic options.
+ Good strategies from the computer when you play against it.
Bad points:
- It is limited to just 2 players in a single game.
- You don't see your letters when it is the turn of the other gamer.
- There are not very advanced options, as changing rules of the game, or give another pointing system, etc.
What I would like to see in future versions:
* All the previous comments adapted (2+ gamers at a time, seeing your letters when it is not your turn, having advaced options).
* A internet-enabled real time multiplayer game option. The tournament option would be so great!
* The possibility of having not just English, but Spanish, French, etc. included, and switch the language for a complete game (a single match to have a single language). Rating:

Not the same
I was so excited to find a scrabble CD that would be Mac OS X.5 friendly. This is it BUT, it is not the same game that I played on my OS 9. Not at all. The graphics don't compare, but more importantly, it doesn't "challenge" when your word is incorrect. Plus, there aren't the exercise games I used to play like 2 letter, 3 letter, anagrams, etc. Also, there isn't a way for more than one player to play the computer. One at a time anyway. No keeping tabs on running scores for other players in my house. It is very disappointing and I hope MacSoft can come up with an up to date game, not so "Mickey Mouse". |
