Mini-Review
NDS - Clubhouse Games

 

It has a lot of fun games, but the flashing graphics annoy me to no end. There are multiple players in every game and on each turn each player's name is scrolled up the bottom screen and across the top on a screen-wide bar. If you hold your stylus on the touchscreen in-between your turns, that graphic will only slide across the top screen, and you can tilt the top towards you to not see it. In most games the top screen is almost totally void of useful information anyway.

As far as the games go, there are 42 (haha) of them and I'd say all of them are done well, except for the problems I have with the useless animated graphics. If flashing animations don't get on your nerves like they do mine, you'll absolutely love this pack. About the only place to find it is on ebay or Amazon.

If the makers of Solitaire Overload had created this game, it would've sold like gold.
