Mahjong
SCORE: 67
Family Friendly Gaming was recently given a a digital download code
for Mahjong on the Wii U. This home console video game is in the Chinese
style of Mahjong. I guess Ensenasoft has spoiled me with their Mahjong
video games. I love how the Ensenasoft Mahjong video games auto sort the
tiles after there are no matches left. Mahjong on the Wii U does not do
that. It is game over in that instance.
I checked the options in Mahjong hoping to find some choice to have the
game auto sort when there are no matches left. No such luck. Which
messes up the game play experience for me. I would not always know when
and where I made a mistake in Mahjong. Meaning there were multiple
choices with certain tiles. If you take the right one path you will be
able to finish the level. If you don't you may spin your wheels for ten
minutes or more before finding out a mistake was made.
Mahjong has Chinese styled music. There are four image choices for the
tiles, and four background choices. Mahjong does contain seventy levels
for families to play. Mahjong is selling for $4.99 at the exact moment
this review as written. The graphics are a bit small for Mahjong on the
Wii U. In many ways Mahjong feels like an app that was ported to the Wii
U.
The difficulty in Mahjong started hard right from the start. I am not
used to getting a game over screen in a Mahjong video game. I am
accustomed to Mahjong video games auto sorting the tiles and letting me
continue. So for me Mahjong on the Wii U is a much harder version.
Because of this Mahjong on the Wii U did not relax me. Instead it
angered me, and frustrated me.
Mahjong is very stringent on the rules too. At times I thought tiles
were free and could be selected. Mahjong let me know I could not match
with that tile thanks to a very annoying sound effect. This is something
else that did not relax me. Especially when I had trouble telling the
depth in Mahjong on the Wii U. Some of the shapes the tiles form in
Mahjong are pretty cool. If you want a difficult Mahjong game then
Mahjong on the Wii U is the game for you.
