Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Possibly the least obscure game title ever, this does exactly what it says on the tin with forty-two classics from chess and backgammon, to darts, poker, bridge and solitaire.
Possibly the least obscure game title ever, this does exactly what it says on the tin with forty-two classics from chess and backgammon, to darts, poker, bridge and solitaire.
The lowdown:
The surprising thing about this game is that nobody’s thought to do it before. The games are split into three varieties of card game and two of board games, plus a selection of "action" games including bowling, darts and billiards. Playing the card games is just as easy as you’d expect with two screens and a stylus, whether it’s Old Maid and Pig or Texas Hold ‘Em and Bridge. The board games work just as well, with Chinese Checkers, Checkers (i.e. Draughts), Dots and Boxes and more. You’ll also find games like Turncoat (i.e. Othello), "Connect Five", Ludo, Mahjong and Solitaire. You have got to go to some effort not to find something of interest amongst this selection.
Most exciting moment:
The best thing about having so many games is that, except for the ones that are purposefully single player, they can all be played online. If you’re playing against a friend you can even chat using a PictoChat style interface.
Since you ask:
The Japanese and Western versions of the game have several different exclusive games. Japan never got Texas Hold 'Em, Dots and Boxes, Grid Attack, Ludo, Dominoes, Escape or Mahjong Solitaire but instead have Napoleon, Goninkan, Bozumekuri, Sugoroku, Size Game, Last One and Mini Golf in their version.
The bottom line:
The one video games compendium that really is for everyone. - HARRISON DENT

5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect Game for Golden Oldie Gamers!,
By
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: 42 All Time Classics (Nintendo DS) (Video Game)
Thanks Nintendo for providing great games which appeal to an older and more mature audience!If you are more of an oldie gamer you may well appreciate playing popular card games such as rummy and solitaire, popular board games such as chess, backgammon and also more sporting games such as bowling and darts. It isn't just the fact that here we have 42 games on one single cartridge which is on the ultra-portable DS system but also the fact that there are several other clever modes including: Mission Mode: Complete some very challenging pre-set missions (such as score 3 bullseyes in darts in just 10 tries, complete the memory game in less than 3 mins) to unlock cute little icons you can use to display against your name. Ok, I'm not that bothered about the icons, but the difficulty of the missions is something that will keep you going for a long time. Stamp Mode: This is really fantastic. You start playing through all the games on Easy mode in a pre-set order. Winning, coming second or third determines how many 'stamps' you get against that game. Get three stamps and you move to the next game and so on. It will take you a good long time to work through this - but very worth it as you unlock all the games which are not immediately available to you at the start in Freeplay mode. Once you have done the easy setting, you go through medium and hard settings. This is the mode I have enjoyed the most due to the variety and the challenge of it all. Freeplay mode: Play any game which you have unlocked in Stamp mode. Basically pick your favourite games and play. Hubby loves bowling, solitaire and darts while I love rummy, chess and most of the card games. Multiplayer: play against your family, friends or even gamers worldwide with the DS WiFi capabilities. It is a very fun game providing card and board games are your cup of tea. So it probably won't appeal to most kids who enjoy their fast-paced action games but many adults and even non-gamers (like my hubby) can pick this up and be entertained with it. I should also mention that the touch screen of the DS is perfect for games like these where you simply click on items on the screen or drag items. Makes the control system very intuitive. Full rules are included with every game. I think it is absolutely excellent value for money!

A great way to spend a rainy day,

This review is from: 42 All Time Classics (Nintendo DS) (Video Game)
Bought this a couple of days ago, and I have played it almost constantly since. It has pushed all my other games to the back of the DS case for the forseeable future!The games are mostly easy to get to terms with, and great fun to play. The DS is made for this type of game too - using the stylus to play the games is very easy and instinctive. And there is a good variety of games to play - ranging from very simple balancing games that can last a minute or so up to chess and some other similar strategy games. A couple of the games are quite hard to get started on, but once you know what is happening the fun starts. And the best feature is that almost all of the games can be played single card download play with 8 of your friends. An excellent addition which adds a whole new dimension to the cartridge. My only fault is that a bar keeps popping up with the name of the next player on it. Not necessary, and after a while playing it, the bar gets very distracting. For this price, one of the most essential cartridges for the DS. Now if I can only get my DS back off the wife who has been paying patience for the last 2 hours....

Once a classic, always a classic,

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: 42 All Time Classics (Nintendo DS) (Video Game)
This game is what portable gaming is all about and mirrors the exact reason why I chose a DS over the PSP. Simple, intuitive games of which there are loads to chose from. Some are quick such as Solitare which you can play during ad breaks while watching TV. and some like Chess or Poker are a bit longer, perhpas to play on the train or during half-time of a sports match.The game is presented very well and the instructions are very in-depth to get you knowing what to do. The high scores and unlockables provide you with rewards, but even without those this would be the perfect game to play during free time. The best thing is online play where you get to challenege the best in the world to nearly every game on the varied cartridge. The online matches are fun and seamless but lack a Pictochat-like talk feature which would have completed the enjoyment. I bought this game spur-of-the-moment and has become my favourite DS game, just down to the simplicity & enjoyment it provides. I don't want to be messing around with in-depth adventure games on a handheld, that's what I use my home consoles for. This is the type of game I got my DS for.
