    EA Bright Light did about as good a job as a team can do when working with the classic games of many of our childhoods. It’s a delicate job, but HFGN pulls off classic-board gaming with aplomb, while at the same time adding more video game-centric modes to each title.

    Despite a few flaws and one ill-conceived megamix, these games are treated with the respect they deserve at a price we’re willing to pay. We’re happy to see them on Arcade where they belong.

    The interface is solid, rolling the dice is fun, and there are no papers or pencils to deal with. So leave the dice in the drawer and fire this one up on your TV instead.

    A sharp iteration of an old favourite; Yahtzee is a videogame adaptation of the utmost fidelity and benefits from the indelible charisma of Mr Potato Head.

    This is a great port of a simple game. This is best d/l'ed by people w/ friends on live, or someone who wants something to play for 20 minutes without worrying about checkpoints. Please ignore idiots like the guy above me droning on about "real friends" and dignity. He lost that when he wrote that post. He fails to consider that many of us have "real" friends that live out of state, and there's not too many "n" work spewing 12 year olds playing scrabble and yahtzee out there. Well worth the price if you enjoy simple time-waster games like solitare and minesweeper. Not for those you want a full gaming experience.… Expand

    A well done video game adaptation of a classic; Yahtzee is one of those "one more time" games. with different modes, multiplayer on/ off line, and leader boards for high scores, it can be difficult to put the controllers down. The only issue that I had with the game is that you often chose the wrong category after you roll the dice and there is no way to go back once you "accidentally" chose "4 of a kind" instead of Yahtzee- Bummer... maybe they could do an update where they replace the highlighted line with a big pencil next to the category you choose. fake dice, fake pencil, what's the difference?… Expand

    family game night is very dissapointing. th game is a freebie but you cant actually play any thing without paying anything as you have to download all the games seperatley for 800mp a pop, youd be better of going up to the attic and settng up that old battle ships board thats been collecting dust… Expand

    Opinions of value aside, online play is presently broken. It is difficult if not impossible to play Scrabble to Yahtzee to completion before a mysterious EA-based server error brings the fun to an abrupt end, Unless you have seen a news story saying this has been fixed, I implore you to wait to purchase this game to avoid potential loss of points and/or sanity. It's a pity such great games were hindered by an unfortunate networking problem.… Expand
