Bridge Baron 16 [OLD VERSION] Review

The game is, as expected, excellent. The sheer number of games dealt and the possibility of selecting what kind of game to play (i.e. NT, etc.) are beyond reproach.br /br /However, my rating for the ease of use is "two out of five." It seems to me that nobody even cared about usability studies--it is almost as if the user interface was an afterthought... More of a pet peeve: what is with the main screen? Who on earth found that even remotely "cool"? As a much younger bridge player, I might as well be mistaken in believing that robot-like ugly players do not inspire a good game of bridge.

Unable to find partners, but wanting to sharpen my skills and practice, I asked friends for advice on a computerized bridge game. I am grateful that they suggested Bridge Baron. This game is terrific; good fun at a great price. br /br /I tend to play 5-10 quick hands during the day, and it's highly enjoyable. Accurate in responses and adjustable to a variety of skill levels, there are enough bells and whistles in it to make it a very efficient use of time, too. A good practice and learning tool, I recommend it to anyone looking to play more.

Nice Game - Joseph L. Bagby -
BB 17 loaded easily and came up with no problems. The error in BB16 where the lead came into my closed hand when I played the hand and into the dummy hand when the Baron played the hand had been fixed. I like the home page better. No complaints, really

Not Much New - Major Major - Ocean Springs, MS
My first Hoyle Bridge CD was marketed in 2004. This one is dated 2006. In the two years passing, I expected a major upgrade in the animation, new player-character options, and some new character response/comments. I found very few improvements; not worth the cost of buying the newer model. Biggest improvement is the size of the players cards; they are bigger and easier to read. Also, throwing in a deck of playing cards was a bad sign; it was obviously an attempt to "add value" because the game was basically unchanged.

Terrible at Any Price - S. J. S. - Beaufort County, SC
I picked this game up on a whim while visiting LA for only 9.99. It did come with the cards and score pad. I'm sorry I did not try to order here. I would have read the reviews and would not buy it at any price. I will echo the other reviews. Bidding is ridiculous and play is almost as bad. Do not buy!
