Amazon.com Review:
Hoyle Card Games lets you create your own customized character with its Facemaker feature, choose your opponents, and play up to 14 classic games. The creative graphics and animations add an extra element to your favorite card games. Begin your play by making your own persona with the Facemaker feature. This software provides games for all skill and age levels. For the younger set, there's Go Fish, which provides great player interaction and fun graphics. (Fish actually jump in and out of your hand.) In addition, there's old maid, which is set against a landscape of Mars. A cuddly bear offers tips on this card game. Hoyle Card Games also offers games such as bridge and hearts for older players, and, of course, 30 different variations of solitaire. The installation is very easy, allowing you to jump right in to interactive card play. The instructions are clear, to the point, and accessible at the start of every game. The variety of game possibilities is refreshing. You can play Hoyle Card Games alone, with friends, or over the Internet. Your onscreen opponents can be challenging and provide entertaining, sometimes satirical, responses to every play. Hoyle Card Games includes an instruction manual with the evolution of the games, access to the Hoyle and Sierra Web sites, and Hoyle Games Online. --Madeleine Miller |
