Great fun, but way overpriced

If the games were priced at $5 each (all the time), the rating would go up way higher. (I personally pick up the games I was missing when they were the DotW.)

That said, I had a ball playing these games last weekend with my nephew, who is usually more of a hard-core FPS gamers (MW2, L4D2, Halo3 etc), but he kept wanting to play these games.

Tons of fun.

Each game has the classic gameplay with a couple of additional versions & each game can be customized as well.

I believe there is now a retail disc version as well.

 

Feeling Ripped Off

I gave in and bought all but one of the HFGN titles, "Connect 4"...spending about $60 for these. Most are good representations of the physical board games, but now that a $35 disc version of HFGN is sold in stores, I'm feeling totally ripped off! Not to mention that, to my knowledge, Hasbro never really said "Oh, wait for the disc version instead." Money hogs. The multiplayer functionality works...but it is not great. My favorites are "Scrabble" (takes a while to play) and "Sorry!". If you were lucky enough to get any of these when they were Deals of the Week, you scored yourself a lot of points...because I sure didn't. :-(

These games are just like the board games, but alot more expensive. The games are $10 a piece which is quite a rip off. Even if you don't mind coughing up the cash the games are still very boring.

These games are very fun with friends and/or family especially Scrabble. If you have nobody to play with, these games can get pretty boring.

While the games are fun & very well done, the pricing for these is way, way too high.

Extremely overpriced, but if you somehow have a ton of free Microsoft points, it's fun at the very least. These games should have released at 400 points each, and I'd own every one of them, However, I found the Wii retail version for $10 and it included all games.

Never tried the 'new' versions of each game, but the classics are all pretty fun. I refuse to buy the XBLA version though because of the pricing.

 

Not worth the money

The only way I downloaded games for this was with my 1600 free points from PrizeRebel. It took the entire 1600 points and only gave me two games. I agree with the other members. It should be no more than $20 for all the games. It was very disappointing.

 

Don't do it.

While you may be tempted to purchase any of these games, you're only hurting yourself. These games are ridiculously overpriced at $10 and holding off can only help to lower the price. Maybe worth it at $5 each, not $10.

Who knew that playing against Mr.Potato head could be so frustrating the graphics are mediocre and the AI SUCKS. Sure there are some fun games but its not really worth your money. And on a side note don't give this game to a toddler because they will cry.
