2.0 out of 5 stars There's a reason it's out of print....., October 3, 2006

This review is from: Monopoly/Boggle/Yahtzee/Battleship (Video Game)

This is a decent game, though I can't believe people are trying to sell this for the amount they are. Let's list the good point... notice, singular, not plural.
1) It's got Monopoly, Boggle, battleship, and Yahtzee....

Now for the bad:
1) No save feature
2) limited gameplay without two copies of the game for multiplayer
3) Boggle is missing so many words that it's overly frustrating to play
4) Monopoly is near impossible to play due to the lack of a save feature
5) It's out of print, so the real price of $20 which nearly makes it worth getting is gone.

Bottom line is, don't waste your money and spend over the original $20 that this game cost. It's simply not worth the time or money to get a decent $20 title. Wait till either another printing of the game, or a better version is released.

Hope this helps some of you who think this must be the greatest game out there.

3.0 out of 5 stars What you would expect, but has flaws, March 19, 2006

This aptly if not creatively titled game is what you would epxect. It gives you the chance to play these four games on the go. Two of the games benefit from the DS's extra touch screen--Boggle and Battleship. Overall, I've enjoyed playing these games, but I find the single player challange of Battleship and Yahtzee to be really shallow. And the two games I play the most--Monopoly and Boggle have issues. Monopoly plays great when it works, but it freezes up a lot. I've learned to save frequently. Boggle doesn't freeze, but its internal dictionary has been overly censored. There are many words that I do not consider vulgar that are not counted as words. I would still recommoned this collection if you want to play these games on the go, but I wouldn't pay full price for the collection. You can find this game used for $10 less.

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD GAME BUT MISSES A FEW COMPONENTS, December 18, 2005

We picked this up last night hoping to lay in bed and play boggle to our hearts were content via the one card wireless option. Out of the 4 games, you can only play Battleship and Boggle wirelessly with one card. Boggle will only play for one round and then you have to shut down the 2nd DS completely, power back up and redownload the software if you want to play again. Even when playing in "hot seat" mode with multiple players on one DS, it does not play until a point total. It only plays one round.

The other 3 games all play very nicely and provides much entertainment. However if you are thinking of only picking up one cart for 2 DS's, you might want to think again!
