1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy This Game!!!, November 21, 2005

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: 3D Bridge Deluxe (Mac) (CD-ROM)

this is a TERRIBLE program! here are several things that are wrong with the programming:
1) the software is buggy - when you undo the bids to redo the bidding, the program often doesn't show you the bidding box, leaving you no choice but to deal a new hand.
2) the program doesn't show you everyone's hand at the end, so you can't analyze what should have happened
3) the 'tutor' plays like a beginner - it takes all the tricks off the top - doesn't know how to set up tricks or set up transportation.
4) the online portion doesn't appear to let you simply watch games, in order to learn, as other online programs do (you know, the ones that only support windows...)
5) the bidding box is cumbersome - it takes 2 clicks to make a bid, rather than just one, and God forbid you make a mistake! especially on-line, there doesn't appear to be a way to alert you opponents and ask to correct the bid.

Received this as a Christmas gift and was very disappointed. It isn't anywhere near as good as Omar Sharif's Bridge for Windows. Now I'm wondering how much of a mistake I made in buying an Apple laptop!

1.0 out of 5 stars only if you want your partner to be playing against you, September 6, 2009

I have had this for years. My son bought it for me. When I got it, I had to pay for it again and the game still wouldn't let me change the 'dummies' from playing stupid. If you were taking the trick with an ace, you partner played a king. Very frustrating. I emailed the game and they couldn't help me. Very expensive for all that frustration.
