4.0 out of 5 stars Mahjong Quest Graphics, January 13, 2008

By	Robin Lewis (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I have a number of downloads and versions of this game, but love my Nintendo DS and thought this would be a great addition. The game itself is enjoyable, but the graphics are terrible. Very tiny and you have to spend all your time trying to really keep a focus on the tiles. There is no way that I can find to change the style of the tiles and that is also disappointing.

So overall if you don't care about the clarity of what you are spending tons of time looking at then good game. On a scale of 1-10 the graphics are about a 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars The tiles are soooo small!!! , May 17, 2008

By	Graphic Novel / Manga Reader "ownstoomanybooks" (Land of the Palm Trees (USA)) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I am an adult gamer who apparently is getting up in age where I am starting to need reading glasses.

I have played MahJong online on my PC many times and enjoyed it. When I found out they made one for the DS, I was excited!

I was shocked that the tiles were so small that I couldn't tell the differences. I have less then perfect vision and only need reading glasses. Since I haven't bought a reading glasses yet, I can barely read the tiles. It was too much of a strain trying to recognoize tiles. After about 1/2 hour my eyes got used to the tiles and was able to see the differences and played. Then it became fun to play.

It's a shame they had to make the tiles so small making it hard for those who have less than perfect vision. I'll see how I feel once I get reading glasses. If that doesn't help the strain, I will sell the game back out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hours of Entertainment, December 27, 2007

By	P. Hildenbrand (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

For several years now, I've been a very big fan of Mahjong. I don't play it too often, but I did get my DS so I'd have something to do when waiting at the Dr's offices, waiting for people to arrive at places, etc. This was one of the first games I bought for my DS and I have not been disappointed. Even the timer seems to last forever, so that is helpful for keeping the stress level down. The only downfall I can see is that the "classic" mode is not really the classic mahjong I remember, but it's still tons of fun. Even on easy mode, it's still quite challenging.

This is a great game for someone (like me) who has ADHD and cannot stand sitting still for even short periods of time. This was recently proven when I had to go pick up a friend from the airport. We only had to wait about 15 minutes for his luggage to arrive, but it's difficult for me to stay still and not become agitated for that long with my ADHD. This game helped to keep me calm and able to wait patiently.
