I have played checkers for over a year now, and I'm quite serious about the game. I was hoping for this hand held checkers game to fine tune my skills and learn some new moves. The game is very easy to play and very easy to hold. For begining play the game is difficult. Yet for anyone that is serious about the game and has been playing for over six months the computer opponent is very easy to beat, but for kids and people wanted to learn the exciting game of checkers it is a must to have. If they come out with another hand held game that is harder to beat, I will have to buy that one.

I played with this in a local store, and beat it quite soundly - and I am *not* a strong checkers player. It might be strong enough to play against a kid, though. And the packaging was definitely nice and compact; contrary to the above review, I had no trouble seeing the screen.

Although this game is fun, it takes a little time to get used to the control pad but once you do, it is a challenge to beat the computer. Older kids can enjoy this once they understand what they can & can't do. This game is more adult oriented; atleast for me.

It's a fair game to kill time waiting someplace like a doctors office it isn't noisy as most are but lacks many play advantages of many games because of poor programming. I've been looking for a Mahjong hand held electronic game for more difficulty but so far none is availiable.
