Summary: Purchase Review
Comment: This is the best version of canasta I've found. However, the software contained spyware that messed up my computer.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Huge Disappointment
Comment: These games are a huge disappointment. The graphics are poor and the games are cumbersome and slow. The poorly designed graphics look very old and dated. Even though there are a number of games available, they are poorly organized and not well written; most of them are pretty boring. The graphics and actions do not work properly on all games. The 'talking heads' players are more annoying than useful or enjoyable. I am very frustrated that I wasted my money on these games; save your money and don't buy it!

Summary: Hoyle Card Games
Comment: I like several of the games on the CD. I wish spades had the option of getting rid of the bag limit. I've never played the game with a bag limit before and the computer program players underbid consistently and take tricks they shouldn't take. That is frustrating. I ordered the puzzle and casino games too and this one is my favorite so far.

Comment: Although this says (Old Version), I had the one older than this version for years. This one has many more features and games than the older one I had. Very satisfied with my order.

Summary: Frustrating bridge game
Comment: Why can't someone develop a computer bridge game that provides the challenge of the bidding and playing hands? This bridge game is the only one I could find for my Mac and it leaves much to be desired. I find the idea of animals as opponents or partners inane and all the robots talk too much (one can keep the dialogue minimized but one still needs to hear the bidding).
This was not an easy install. I had to get professional help to get it working. Even then it seemed to reluctant to install or mount or attach.
