Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Hoyle Card Games Comment: Although this says (Old Version), I had the one older than this version for years. This one has many more features and games than the older one I had. Very satisfied with my order. Customer Rating: Summary: Frustrating bridge game Comment: Why can't someone develop a computer bridge game that provides the challenge of the bidding and playing hands? This bridge game is the only one I could find for my Mac and it leaves much to be desired. I find the idea of animals as opponents or partners inane and all the robots talk too much (one can keep the dialogue minimized but one still needs to hear the bidding). This was not an easy install. I had to get professional help to get it working. Even then it seemed to reluctant to install or mount or attach. Customer Rating: Summary: Hoyle Games Comment: Certainly a lot of card games on this! I only purchased it for the Bridge game, which is quite good. I can't attest to the others Customer Rating: Summary: Bought it for Mac Comment: This is a pretty good game for the Mac; it's a card game, so you get pretty much what you expect. There is a nice selection of games, so you can switch around if you get tired of one. The downside to it is some of the cornball elements like cheesy characters that want to talk and give bad one liners during game play. Fortunately you can disable that. The graphics are also a little low grade, and the dealing of the cards is a little slow for my taste in some instances, like when playing spades or poker. Otherwise, a fun game and good distraction. Customer Rating: Summary: hoyle card games 2008 Comment: I recenly bought this software mostly for playing Bridge. I was very disappointed. The program is deficient inthe following important areas: does not provide interpretation of bidding does not give any hints for bidding if you made a mistake in playing it has no way of correcting it does not show cards of all players at the end of the game for review There is no auto play to finish last few tricks when you know the outcme certain There is no way to claim last few sure tricks The play is slow, requires double click for every action I was very disappointed.
