I bought this game mainly for Scrabble Jr. but was also slightly interested in Sorry!. I had no interest in Aggravation so I won't be reviewing that title. I am playing the game on a GBA. ---Sorry!--- The back of the box says that the game has been "supercharged." I find the opposite to be true; any sense of strategy has been sucked right out of it. The graphics also have not been "supercharged" in any way. There are several flaws with this game. As you play, if you draw a Sorry! card (which means you can take a piece from your home-base, place it where an opponent's piece is, and send the opponent's piece back to THEIR home-base), you have NO CHOICE which opponent's piece to choose; the game automatically chooses the opponent's piece that's closest to your home-base. Now, for some people, especially younger players, this doesn't matter. But players with any ounce of strategy in their brains will be extremely frustrated with this lack of choice, since sometimes a player with a piece farther from your safe-zone is actually closer to winning. The instruction booklet states that you can use the L and R buttons to select which opponent's piece to choose, but these buttons do absolutely nothing on my GBA. This problem also occurs with the 11 card where switching pieces with an opponent is an option; you can choose YOUR piece, but not your opponent's piece. There always must be four players. Thus, if you are playing by yourself, you are forced to play against three computer players. Also, player one is forced to play as Blue at the TOP of the screen which means your home-base and safe-zones are upside down. Why isn't player one Green, located at the bottom of the screen, right-side up, where the spaces are much easier to see?? When you finally reach the end of the game, don't expect anything special if you win. "Anticlimactic" is an understatement. ---Scrabble, Jr.--- This game is just embarrassing. Hasbro should be ashamed. The "Easy" mode is fine, since the player and computer do not actually make words; letter tiles are placed on words already on the game board. The problems are all with "Advanced" mode, which is pretty much like normal Scrabble except that each tile is worth one point. Playing Advanced mode is a lot of fun until the computer starts making words that don't exist. You will want to throw your GBA or DS when the computer makes words such as "boca," "garbo," and "pct" (yes, "PCT")--fake words that are NOT in the official Scrabble dictionary. As I played, the computer also was allowed to make "Laos," and I later was allowed to make "Egypt." I was not allowed to make the word "stoma," which is a 6th- or 7th-grade biology vocabulary word if I recall correctly. And those are just a sample of the errors I came across as I played. And the best/worst thing? When you win, the screen tells you "congragulations!" Yes, I typed that correctly... "CONGRAGULATIONS." Ugh ugh ugh. ---settings--- Please note that YOU CANNOT SAVE GAMES. The game settings also cannot be saved. For example, if you do not like the music, you have to turn it off each time you begin each of the three games. Not horrible flaws, but annoying enough. ---SUMMARY--- The companies who made this game do not deserve your money. If you're desperate and/or can ignore all the errors, try to find it dirt-cheap somewhere. If you're looking for a fun word game for your GBA or DS, try "Bookworm" (which is sadly 'out of print,' I believe) or something else. If you want your kids to be able to play Sorry! during the long car ride to grandma's, make your own with permanent markers, a magnetic white-board and magnets. It'll probably be more fun that way, anyway. 14 of 14 found the following review helpful: Flawed and Limited, But At Least The Games Are Available  Oct 14, 2005 By M. Schwinn I bought a Game Boy Advance unit recently simply because board and card games are finally available to players who don't really fancy the arcade-style games. The sheer availability of the games is a plus in itself. I haven't tried the Scrabble Jr., so this review concerns itself with Sorry and Aggravation. In general, the graphics are excellent and the game play good -- when it works (in the case of Aggravation). Had Aggravation not had a couple major problems, I'd have rated the package with 5 stars. SORRY: I would have paid the price of the game for Sorry alone, and since it plays a fairly good game, I consider the money well spent. 1) SORRY FLAWS: Very occasionally the game seems to become confused when an opponent's pawn is on your starting spot and you enter a pawn and send it back to its start. Subsequently a pawn of mine got sent back for no reason I could see. 2) SORRY LIMITATIONS: A) As a previous reviewer noted, when activating the Sorry or "11" cards, the human player has no choice about which opponent's pawn to affect with these. B) The computer players never take advantage of the special features of the "7" and "11" cards when these would benefit them. For example, with a "7" card you can either move one pawn 7 spaces or split the move between 2 pawns; the computer players never choose the latter option. C) You cannot save a game. AGGRAVATION: I'm new to this game and enjoyed it immensely, but be aware that the game may go haywire in mid-game and you may need to quit and begin the game afresh. I've written Destination Software about this but have heard nothing from them yet. 1) AGGRAVATION FLAWS: A) Sometimes in mid-game the game refuses to move pawns for one or more of the players, human or computer, even when they can legitimately move. This conditon lasts for the remainder of the current game usually, although sometimes it clears up after several turns. I haven't been able to figure out what causes this freeze-up. B)Occasionally an opponent's pawns will simply vanish from the board, only to reappear a few turns later, again for no discernible reason. 2) AGGRAVATION LIMITATIONS: A) In the offical rules, you may not jump one of your own pawns, but the electronic version waives this rule, probably for a faster and easier game. B) You cannot save a game. 7 of 9 found the following review helpful: A Bunch Of Sorry Games  Oct 14, 2005 By coopertex I hated all three games and here's why Cons: -very little player interaction, the games almost play themselves. Just press the "A" button -no game enhancements, or cool animations. The graphics are photo realistic, but have no animations. -pathetic sound effects, consisting of *beeps* and *boops* -annoying music, after a few minutes of the generic music slamming your brain, you'll want to mute it. -Scrabble Jr. doesn't understand the words your make, and the CPU will make up bogus words that don't exist and reward itslef with points. -no game options. It would of been nice to adjust the rules of the games. -boring gameplay, when a game has no fun features other than pressing the "A" button it is not even a game anymore. -Sorry is the best game in the pack, but it plays at a very slow pace Pros: +photo realistic graphics DSI, robbed gamers yet again with pathetic games that look nice, but play terrible and without gameplay enhancements of any sorts. If you want a good board game, buy the old "monopoly" version for the gameboy color, which is compatible with gameboy advance. Oldies Are Goodies  Jan 25, 2009 By Shilom While the graphics are very old-school, these games are classics and have all their spunk left! So Many Bugs  Oct 08, 2008 By R. Boughton This game is an awful disappointment. There are bugs in the game that make it impossible to play the game directly. For example in Sorry I had a piece in home and one of the opponents were able to bump in back to start just by landing on the space next to home. Also the aggrivation game glitchs half way through and won't let you out of start even if you roll the right number. Don't waste your money See all 7 customer reviews on Amazon.com
