Hoyle Bridge Club

Hoyle Bridge Club Review

I learned to play bridge on a ship returning from WWII in the Pacificbr /I enjoy playing on the computer, although sometimes it is very frustrating because of the way my partner returns my bids. I will bid 2 Hearts and he will say 3 clubs. I, having 3 clubs, will pass thinking he had a strong club suit, and he will have 1 club.

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!

I missed the Microsoft Games on my computer and found this hard to find until I knew what to look for. This has all you wanted from the Microsoft Games Collection (Rat Poker, Color Collision, and my personal favorite: Jewel Chase - as well as all the others). My mom and I fight over the computer to play. For Windows 98

Ancient Hearts and Spades [Game Download] Review

With new WinXP64 pro Win7 pro 64 bit systems, I was anxious to get my game previously purchased from Playfirst setup on my new machines to see how it would run. GRRRRRRRRRR Playfirst net authorizing procedure failed because they don't carry it anymore.br /br /So I bought the download from Amazon. Amazon's download method failed completely for me. So I emailed and got a refund. Imo, the download problem is related to Windows 64 bit systems which I'm sure Amazon will get fixed.br /br /In the meantime, after several angry emails to Playfirst, they fixed the problem after my Amazon hiccup.br /br /This game ROCKS on both WinXP Win7 64 bit operating systems.br /SO if you have no issues with Amazon's download method, I definitely recommend this game.br /

A fairly objective review.. - Sheeple -
NOTE: This review is directed ONLY towards the spades portion of this game.br /br /I'd certainly say this game is very good for the price. The cons are as follows.. The music in this game is EXTREMELY monotonous. I played the free trial only once, and i ended up turning off the music immediately. Furthermore, the sound was very scratchy, compounding the issue. Another con is that you cannot change the spade gametype. If you don't like nils, or you want to change what point situation to allow nils in, or you want to allow doublnilling, this isn't your game. Each bidding round allows you to bid 1 - 13 and nil. That's all.br /br /Being a fairly veteran spades player, i turned the game to hard. All said and done, i beat the computer team 500something to negative something. The AI is average, at best. Granted, i only played one game. My partner didn't overbid at any point, which is nice, but a bit unrealistic. Don't get me wrong though; if the computer was prone to overbidding, i'd probably have written a con about that too. However, it's worth mentioning this because a real player's ability to adapt to their partner's bidding habits is a true benchmark of spades playing. Another issue is the gameplay smoothness.. I have a Core 2 Duo, 1.66GHz, 3GB RAM laptop with a Geforece 8600m GT 512mb graphics card. This is by no means top of the line, but it should have been able to handle this non-3d game. Unfortunately, there was considerable studdering on this setup. Even when i changed the game to "windowed" mode (which should be default, but isn't), the game studdered noticeably. br /br /For pros, the game was fairly challenging. I considered buying it for the price, but realized that the lack of configuration was the undoing. If there were different music tracks, that would have helped. If the sound didn't repeat so frequently, that may have helped. If i could have chosen different game options, that would have helped. The only real "options" were AI settings, a tournament mode, and a speed mode. Those are pluses, but should have been configurable in and of themselves.br /br /For learning the game, this is a good tool. For advancing your game, this will not help you in any major way. It's too static.

You can actually subscribe to their website, but I plan to buy the hardcopy here sooner or later, if not as a direct download through them. Overall, the games are worth it since they give directions between each game if you need them. There is a game you can play with a deck of cards here that my mom and I both enjoy, called Lucky Fans, or Lucky Clover Solitaire, and that would basically replace the Spider and basic solitaire games that are on the computer already. It's a time waster and good fun. (Haven't learned to many of the others, but some are simple enough you don't have to fret about losing every match). The music is also a plus, but my mom plays with her own music on. The sound effects and animation also add some nice depth. If you're at all interested, the gamehouse website has all the small games you'd ever want. Some are from the creators of the children's book series "I Spy." A lot of fun.

It Might've Been Good 20 Years Ago - Skip Rohde - Asheville, NC
These games look like they were originally coded for Windows 3.1. The only updates they've received since then have been to try to make them run on newer operating systems. The graphics are junk and the software locks up half the time. I think the sale price just about covers their entire "updating" budget. You can do better.
