Ultimate Brain Games

Though I don't know how to play backgammon and can't really review that one i can review the other games. Sink the ships is battle ship. Seems pretty fair, the computer plays like a person and you have a genuine chance of winning. Same thing with reversi and dominoes, except these games are almost entirely luck from what I can tell. Mahjong seems fine except the pictures on the tiles are mostly Chinese symbols which are hard to tell the difference from each other. Face creator lets you make your avatar, so its not much a game. Four in a row, checkers and chess all suffer form the same problem however, and that's the difficulty settings don't do anything, and the difficulty seems to be on a Medium to hard level. I've played chess and checkers extensively and I Do Not notice a difference when I change the difficulty, even from from Very easy to Extreme. I have never won a single game of chess or checkers. If you play on easy on online games, even a novice has a chance, but I know how to play these games and I CAN'T win. not only that but it doesn't save you records. I can only recommend this to someone who is good at chess/checkers and wants something a little more challenging.

awesome game. it arrived promptly and the cartridge is in great shape. im realizing that feeling selfconcious about playing a gameboy game is extremely rediculous in a world where 60+ adults are playing candy crush. the advantage to the gameboy are there are no ads, no harmful cellphone radiation, and no big brother spying on the statistics of the game/your face expressions you make while you play (through the camera on front of smartphones).

I like trivia games that makes your brain work. I do like the fact that I was able to stop the game in the middle and finish it later. Sadly, I find it boring. I have not own this very long. Disappointed.

definitely what it says a brain game lol

Has all the common games... easy to use and a great aid in free thinking for the kids. Highly recommended.

GREAT GAME MAJONG

Good game.

I thought I might be able to add a little information here. This game pack is great and as others have mentioned, 2 people can play any game either on the same game boy or with 2 GBAs linked together with a link cable. We had a little trouble getting 2 GBAs linked up but for some reason reversing the cable did the trick (plugging one end into the other gameboy).When the description says "Demo mode" it means that you watch the game play itself. The onscreen help is just rules - there aren't any strategy hints included with the exception of a simple tutor mode in Chess where it will give you simple hints. The background music is annoying - I wish it would remember when you turn it off.Chess is well done (switch the board to "standard view"). I am not a execellent chess player so I can't comment on the chess playing ability of the game. You are able to take back moves if you get yourself into trouble. Chess additionally includes 100 "puzzles" for you to solve like finding checkmate in 2 moves or whatever. The chess game is not on a clock (which I prefer).I have played most games of Reversi. I have beat the computer 2 out of about 100 times but I am hopeful I am getting better. The backgammon seems to be pretty easy to beat and there is no doubling cube. We played a couple of linked games of "Sink the Ship". This is like battleship except every round you get 1 shot per ship that isn't sunk. So at the beginning you pick 5 shots to do.The Mahjong is probably fun but the tiles are too small and too dim to really see. The Dominos game is regular dominos where you score if the dominos on the end add up to 5, 10, 15, 20, etc... Haven't played checkers or 4-in-a-row.To summarize this is a great time waster and well worth the money. It could kill large chunks of time on a car trip.
