This review is from: Risk/Battleship/Clue (Video Game)

Ever since I picked up GBA I was searching for versions of classic board and card games as this genre of game is ideal for a portable system. Minimal thought required to play but lots of fun. (Kinda hard to play an RPG puzzler while sitting on a crowded train) Anyway, you can imagine my joy when I saw this compilation on the shelf for a bargain price. HOWEVER, I should have known with the 14.99 price tag came ill conceived game design that virtually ruins 3 great classic board games. First of all, the most glairing mistake is the lack of a save feature. Anyone who has ever played Risk knows just how long a good game can take so the ability to save your game seemed like a no brinier but none of the 3 games allow you to save your progress. As I started to play Risk I quickly discovered the reason they may have left out the save feature is because the AI is almost non existent so long games are a thing of the past!! The lack of an intelligent AI is glaring in all 3 games. Finally the graphics are sub par, the music is forgettable and the controls are clunky (even in a game where control should be virtually a non-issue). This game collection was an excellent idea that seems to have been slapped together and packaged overnight. Pass on this one, you won't regret it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage, October 23, 2005

This version of these games is garbage. BEWARE! Don't buy other games from Destination Software or Gravity-I. I bought this game so I could play Risk with friends, but can I? NOPE! You can only play against the computer. There is NO REASON they could not have programmed the game on Game Boy Advance so that you could play against other HUMAN players, and the computer opponents are so stupid the game isn't fun to play. Also, there is no save option(a common problem with GBA games and I'm tired of it.). These are ROTTEN versions of great board games. I wouldn't recommend doing business with the aforementioned companies in the future.

Well, it seems some reviewers like the game pack and some hate it. I asked for it for Christmas because I wanted Battleship and Risk.

Battleship: NO complaints at all. Big clear graphics, easy to play and operate. The "Salvo" feature is a nice alternative to one shot at a time. Several levels of play. No save feature, but play is fast and saving isn't nessasary.

Risk: This is a tricky game to get correct electronically. This appears to be a reworked older PC version. On the plus side, the board is easy to see, and controls are smooth, although a little slow. There are no real "levels" of play. But you can start play with only 2 computer opponents, (easy) and keep adding opponents to making winner harder. On the downside, the computer players are not very challenging. If you make a mistake they're all over you, but other than that, it's fairly easy to dominate. It would be *nice* to be able to save a game of Risk, but you can't. Gameplay is pretty quick, so it's not a big problem.

I have only played Clue a few times in my life. I can't give you a good review on that. The graphics are bright, clear and easy to see. No save feature.
