1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment!, April 3, 2005

This review is from: Omar Sharif Bridge (CD-ROM)

As an intermediate bridge plater I was hoping that this CD would help to improve my game. Unfortunately, it is not a very good learning tool. I have found the following to be disappointing features and am actively looking for an alternate CD:
- too many layers/clicks to begin and exit game
- opponents are programmed to to make flawed/confusing (sometimes bizarre) bids. This can be very frustrating, particulary when there is no way to clarifiy what the bid is indicating. A help button would be helpful.
- there is no may to undo an action...so if your mouse moves slightly when you are clicking,you can accidently bid something you didn't intend to bid (e.g. 7 C,D,H,S or NT instead of passing) or playing a card you didn't intend to play.
- if I am unhappy with the way I played a hand, I would like to be able to replay it... this is not possible with this CD

1.0 out of 5 stars No fun, February 20, 2006

This game is so heavily weighted toward east and west that it's no fun to play. It's rare that north and south even get a bidable hand. And north uses a bidding system that defies understanding, such as opening in 2 of a suit with 7 points and a five card suit. Get the picture?

I bought this many years ago and have practiced hundreds and hundreds of hands on it. It is very useful to practice play of the hand. There is also an option to adjust the bidding style. There are now newer programs that I would suggest for intermediate+ players. This program is useful for beginners.
