5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game package for Kindle 2 October 17, 2010

By Elizabeth K. Miller

I bought this game pack despite initial concerns about how well it would perform on my smaller screen Kindle 2. It is superb. The design team at EA has triumphed over the constraints of the Kindle format. The cards are easy to see, and the games are intuitively designed. Since I already know the rules of Klondike Solitaire and Freecell, I was able to start playing the games immediately, without the tutorial. There are a few ways to move the cards in play: using the 5-way toggle or keyboard shortcuts (love those). For example, in Freecell the columns of cards to be played are each assigned a letter of the alphabet; if you want to move a card from, say, column Q to column T, you just press "Q" on your keyboard and then press "T." There is a quick reference guide to keyboard shortcuts in the Controls menu. It is a pleasure to play something so well thought out. Bravo, EA! -- now, would you please create a MahJongg for Kindle?

4.0 out of 5 stars EA Solitaire Review October 15, 2010

Yeah!! I'm the first to review EA Solitaire!

I just bought this game today...Haven't yet played all 12 versions of Solitaire that the game boasts but I HAVE
played one (Klondike) and it is very easy to manipulate and move the cards. Very entertaining. The ONLY thing I wish they could improve on is that its somewhat difficult (due to the black and white e-ink display) to discern which cards are "red" or "white." But that is not EA's fault..just sometimes wish the Kindle was a color ereader...maybe someday in the future it will be.

I give this game **** stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kindle 2 Review of EA Solitare October 15, 2010

What a deal for 4 bucks. Easy to use. I used to play Freecell at work during my lunchbreak but then the "Inappropriate Use of Company Resources Even If On Break" Nazis (IUCREIOB-SS) took the game off our PCs.

But now (cue woman singing the Marseilles - no I did not mean 'marsupial' Google - ) a resounding blow for workplace Freecelldom has been struck!

Kindle Solitaire - the latest way to irk your anal retentive control freak pointed haired Boss. Buy it!
