Software Reviews of Hoyle Puzzle & Board Games 2008 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: No difference between this and previous versions.
Summary: 3 Stars
Reviewers of subsequent versions prefer THIS version to what came after, apparently things are going downhill. I am the owner of a 2005 version and see no difference whatsoever between this and the 2005. The only reason I got it is because this one does run in Vista 64-bit and the earlier one did not.
The games are exactly the same (which is not too bad); the options for spacemaker, facemaker, and point rewards are exactly the same; the instructions and help for the games is exactly the same (which means, some games have mediocre instructions/help and other games have none.)
Another difference is that, now that I have a much larger monitor with much higher resolution I am having difficulty finding a comfortable way to play: my options are either "full screen" which takes over the monitor, stretches the interface to the point of distortion, and results in a fuzzier (less sharp) interface OR "reduced" which, while sharp, is only to one pre-determined size which is too small. There is no way to pull the window to enlarge it to some sort of middle ground.
Oh, and this version also runs on Mac.
