4.0 out of 5 stars Solid collection of mini-games, July 3, 2007

By	N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

Touchmaster for the DS does just what it's title implies; it's a collection of various mini-games that take advantage of the touch screen and stylus, and are incredibly simple to get a hang of. Touchmaster features 23 mini-games involving cards, trivia, and puzzlers to boot, including takes of Yahtzee, solitare, mahjong, and more. While the games are fun, simple to pick up and play, and all take advantage of the DS' unique capabilities, there ultimately isn't enough here to hold your long term interests. Nintendo's own Clubhouse Games is a much better investment than Touchmaster, and features a wider variety of games to pick and are more fun as well. That aside, there's nothing really bad about Touchmaster at all. The game offers Wi-Fi support as well for posting high scores, which is a nice small bonus hampered by a sloppy interface. All in all, Touchmaster is a fine, quick collection of mini-games that take advantage of the DS' capabilities, and is a fine pick up if that's what you want, but if you desire something like this only put together a little better, check out Clubhouse Games instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars All I need is a cold one, January 6, 2008

By	Christopher M. Fulton "Purveyor of Truth" (Streator, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This was always a good way to kill time when hanging out at the local watering hole. When you run out of stuff to talk about with your buddies, each person pitches in a buck or two and then go to town on Touchmaster. Now I can play for free. Free is very good. These are all pretty addictive games that you can play for hours, and I know I have since I bought the game.
As far as the Trivia game acting up as some of the others have stated, I don't know. I haven't played it a bunch of times yet. I've always been more of a Mahki fan. However, if it does act up for me I will put an update on here to let people know it's still happening.
All in all, if you enjoyed this game in your local establishment of choice, you'll need to pick this up.

***UPDATE*** As of 2/15/08, the Trivia game has locked up on me all of 1 time. Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but it was a 26,000 point question. So far though, it was the only time it locked up.

1.0 out of 5 stars Problems with the game...2009 maybe fixed..., November 13, 2007

By	LCowboysFAN (DFW Tx USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

We had problems with this game, thought it was the game but after returning it 4 times and everytime the same thing happened. It wasnt our DS system because we have 4 different ones (different in days owned).

When play the trivia game, which we played a lot. I would say after playing it 30 times, we would be in the middle of a game and it would lock up and the only the you could do is turn it off. This game was fun but this was our only issue. We called the company that made it in Chicago and they took all the information and told us this (trivia) was the only game that had to be re-written for the DS. SO FYI.... this game locks up on trivia. 2009 update : We bought a copy for 5$, for this past Christmas, and so far so good, no locks up on Trivia or anything else, so maybe just maybe the editor finally corrected the problem, FYI.
