I love these two games and thought they would be nice on the big screen instead of playing on my computer. The graphics are so simplistic as to be hard to read. Mah-Jong allows you to zoom in so that you can actually see the tiles, but then you can't see the whole stack. Solitaire doesn't allow a zoom, and the cards are too small to easily read (even though they don't use the entire screen). I have to squint to see if it's a 6 or an 8.

Basic features on computer versions of these games are missing like:
* Ability to retry the same mah-jong game when you realize you can't win
* Automatic Ace placement in solitaire (you must tediously go through every last card to receive the lame congratulations).
* Hints; tips when you get stuck.
* Choice of easier to view tiles in Mah-Jong.
* Lots of choices but only one version of important Solitaire families like Spider, Free Cell or Yukon.
* Double click sometimes moves cards in solitare, sometimes not
* Cards are very hard to place in Solitare
And the cursor for some reason has little sparkly things swirling around it that'll just drive you nuts after awhile.

This could have been a really nice game, but ultimately disappointed.

I had mahjong and solitaire on the computer.
My mom really like playing the game on the computer.
She had back surgery and now finds it uncomfortable to sit on the chair for the computer.
I bought this so she could play the game sitting comfortably in front of the tv.
It works out really well. There are several games for both solitaire and mahjong.
You can control the background you want to see and the volume of the music that is played. There are several choices for the type of music you want to hear.
The numbers and figures are larger, depending on resolution of your tv.
Makes it easier for those that may not see very well.
All in all a great game and I am glad I purchased it.

I'm a big fan of both games. I'm addicted to Mahjong and this version has the tilting table that I haven't had in other versions. The music is the usual, the graphics nice, tiles are large, etc. No complaints. The challenge is getting used to Wii controller for clicking on the tiles.

I haven't played the cards as much but again, I found no complaints. Alot of options.

Worth the money!!

This game is great! There are LOTS of different layouts for both the Mahjong and Solitaire. It has easy pick up and play instructions, and easy to extremely challenging puzzles.

Can not believe how difficult this game is. Bought it for my wife who loves solitaire. First setting up "player" keyboard temperamental. All the Wii games I have are so simple to use,user friendly. forget about this one. Nothing friendly about this "bummer". Terribly disappointed. Why not simply have the name of the Solitaire game, go on to the next one, until I could find the game my wife likes to play.Waste of money especially in these tough times.

I love having this game for my Wii. It's just like the other versions for the computer, but for one thing... when you win a game, there is no fortune cookie or anything special to congratulate you except for a boring, scrolling text. Ok, it's a small thing to complain about, but I found it disappointing. Must say, though, that I LOVE the soundtrack that comes with it. Great fun indeed! :)

I just bought the Wii last week and I wanted a game besides the pair of sports title pack-in. Solitarire & Mahjong fit the bill nicely. I wanted to play Mahjong because whhile I have it on the computer, I want to be in my bedroom playing it. Good value for $20 or so.

I LOVE THE GAME MAHJONG!! THE ONLY PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE WITH IT, IS THE MUSIC. IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO BE ABLE TO PUT YOUR OWN MUSIC FOR THE BACKGROUND... GAME IS GREAT; RELAXING. THE CHOICES ARE ABUNDANT

I bought this as a gift and I am told that it is very disappointing. Terrible instructions and the games that are included are not even games that the solitaire player I bought it for is familiar with ... so I had to buy her 2 books of solitaire games as a supplement so she could try to figure out what she was playing. Not happy with this purchase at all.

This game is good for the older crowd. It moves very slow and I was also not able to find the standard solitare game although there were several varieties available. I prefer plain old solitare!
