Your views on 42 all-time classics

Im wondering about buying it but i dont know if i will enjoy it! what kind of games can you play on it and can u play them all online? i like blackjack, texas hold em and pool/snooker, are they on the game?

All there. Ace game, kept me up well into the night screaming at some bugger who got all the letters in word balloon on line.

cool im gunna buy! cheers

Haven't played it, so can't comment. That won't stop others though...

EDIT - Sod it, I'll give my two cents anyhow. I'm more of a 'gamer' gamer, and so therefore card games, darts and anything without flashy special effects and giant enemy crabs isn't that interesting to me. But agreeing with what Grumbler states below, one wonders how many games out of the 42 are actually worthwhile. I would rent first before deciding if the ones you do like are worth the money.

Are all 42 of them classics or are there loads of shit ones? 42 seems like a hell of a lot...

There's a load of good ones, and then a dud at the end, that being "Soda Shake".

Good game, but the interface sucks. If you are used to PC online card games, you may find it annoyingly clunky.

I've had the game but still haven't got round to playing all the games.

Its a beast of a game especially with wifi.
Which reminds me i must go and beg for friend codes off people.

It's a good game.

worth the muny? i got for around 9 quid so its worth a gamble lol

I personally love the game. I have only been impressed and have few complaints. It's one of those games that should be in everyone's collection in my opinion. Tons of great games, for the most part, all well done. The online is a lot of fun too. Get a bunch of friends together and its a blast.

Don't buy this if you are wanting to spend hours at a time though--it's better used as a filler between buying new games, when your bored, or with friends, as it shines most in multiplayer.

Soda Shake's the only one worth buying it for It;s worth the buy Mr. Bean.

I got it freee with the DS Lite and whilst a lot aren't worth the time, I got a bit of fun out it, especially with the single cart multiplayer. I played solitaire a fair bit too. Not a must have, but a bit of fun if it is cheap.

It's really high time i get this, ive been meaning to pick up a copy since day one.

Some of those games are fantastic from what ive played, and at

Does anybody know where i can get this game dirt cheap, i saw it for

Its an excellent game for the price. At least 15 are good which is good enough. There are some utter alful ones and they put billiards in instead of pool or snooker but its a very nice package. Whats great is that there are so many games on it that Ive never played before and now that I know them I can play them with others if im ever playing cards.
