Aggravation/Sorry/Scrabble Jr

games are from my days of playing games. Kids will love the games. I like playing the games myself. Thanks

I hated all three games and here's whyCons:-very little player interaction, the games almostplay themselves. Just press the "A" button-no game enhancements, or cool animations. The graphics arephoto realistic, but have no animations.-pathetic sound effects, consisting of *beeps* and *boops*-annoying music, after a few minutes of the generic musicslamming your brain, you'll want to mute it.-Scrabble Jr. doesn't understand the words your make, and theCPU will make up bogus words that don't exist and reward itslefwith points.-no game options. It would of been nice to adjust the rules of the games.-boring gameplay, when a game has no funfeatures other than pressing the "A" button it isnot even a game anymore.-Sorry is the best game in the pack, but it plays ata very slow pacePros:+photo realistic graphicsDSI, robbed gamers yet again with pathetic games thatlook nice, but play terrible and without gameplayenhancements of any sorts. If you want a good boardgame, buy the old "monopoly" version for thegameboy color, which is compatible with gameboy advance.

I thought I was purchasing a board game. We do not have a gameboy to use it. wish I could return them.

Nice game

Fun.

While the graphics are very old-school, these games are classics and have all their spunk left!

You should NOT give your money to the companies who released this error-ridden product.I bought this game mainly for Scrabble Jr. but was also slightly interested in Sorry!. I had no interest in Aggravation so I won't be reviewing that title. I am playing the game on a GBA.---Sorry!---The back of the box says that the game has been "supercharged." I find the opposite to be true; any sense of strategy has been sucked right out of it. The graphics also have not been "supercharged" in any way.There are several flaws with this game. As you play, if you draw a Sorry! card (which means you can take a piece from your home-base, place it where an opponent's piece is, and send the opponent's piece back to THEIR home-base), you have NO CHOICE which opponent's piece to choose; the game automatically chooses the opponent's piece that's closest to your home-base. Now, for some people, especially younger players, this doesn't matter. But players with any ounce of strategy in their brains will be extremely frustrated with this lack of choice, since sometimes a player with a piece farther from your safe-zone is actually closer to winning. The instruction booklet states that you can use the L and R buttons to select which opponent's piece to choose, but these buttons do absolutely nothing on my GBA. This problem also occurs with the 11 card where switching pieces with an opponent is an option; you can choose YOUR piece, but not your opponent's piece.There always must be four players. Thus, if you are playing by yourself, you are forced to play against three computer players.Also, player one is forced to play as Blue at the TOP of the screen which means your home-base and safe-zones are upside down. Why isn't player one Green, located at the bottom of the screen, right-side up, where the spaces are much easier to see??When you finally reach the end of the game, don't expect anything special if you win. "Anticlimactic" is an understatement.---Scrabble, Jr.---This game is just embarrassing. Hasbro should be ashamed.The "Easy" mode is fine, since the player and computer do not actually make words; letter tiles are placed on words already on the game board. The problems are all with "Advanced" mode, which is pretty much like normal Scrabble except that each tile is worth one point.Playing Advanced mode is a lot of fun until the computer starts making words that don't exist. You will want to throw your GBA or DS when the computer makes words such as "boca," "garbo," and "pct" (yes, "PCT")--fake words that are NOT in the official Scrabble dictionary. As I played, the computer also was allowed to make "Laos," and I later was allowed to make "Egypt." I was not allowed to make the word "stoma," which is a 6th- or 7th-grade biology vocabulary word if I recall correctly. And those are just a sample of the errors I came across as I played.And the best/worst thing? When you win, the screen tells you "congragulations!" Yes, I typed that correctly... "CONGRAGULATIONS." Ugh ugh ugh.---settings---Please note that YOU CANNOT SAVE GAMES. The game settings also cannot be saved. For example, if you do not like the music, you have to turn it off each time you begin each of the three games. Not horrible flaws, but annoying enough.---SUMMARY---The companies who made this game do not deserve your money. If you're desperate and/or can ignore all the errors, try to find it dirt-cheap somewhere.If you're looking for a fun word game for your GBA or DS, try "Bookworm" (which is sadly 'out of print,' I believe) or something else. If you want your kids to be able to play Sorry! during the long car ride to grandma's, make your own with permanent markers, a magnetic white-board and magnets. It'll probably be more fun that way, anyway.

Sometimes you do get what you pay more. I thought this was supposed to be a bit more interactive, but I can’t even play any of the games. Very disappointed.
