Clue game boy

This is a kind of game kids who like to play board games during car trips can share together. Read full review. Clue - a good version except the room names do not appear on the screen so you have to memorize the location of each room or wander around 2 to 12 squares at a time to find the room you need.

The secret passages are cool, but having to hit the button to leave them gets old fast. Battleship - I love this version. You get to fire as many shots as you have ships left or you can play the conventional game with only 1 shot per turn. This version is similar, but I think the cards don't work the same way. It is generally easy to win. Works every time. So off to the stores I went in search of a DS version. I had figured that with the release of a slew of board game collections on the DS that surely they had made a version of RISK.

I figured wrong. As it currently stands, this is the only portable version of RISK in existence. The game itself is no frills, very basic.

Your options are rather limited - you cannot pick your color army and there is only the world conquest game. The interface takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it, as it is a scrolling cursor over small countries. Everything is handled by the cursor, which makes me wonder why they didn't bring even this version to the DS. The touch-screen would be much more suited than scrolling around with the D-pad. Otherwise the game plays the same as the board game, which makes it a fair reproduction if you want to play RISK on the go.

You are expected to have memorized the rooms of the mansion as well, as there are no labels that I could find telling you which room was where. CLUE was the most frustrating to play in my opinion, but I suppose with time and exercising your brain it could be an enjoyable version of the game. Presumeably you can hook up with other players who have the cartridge and play multiplayer since you can choose how many players you want, except there is nothing really mentioned on the box or in the instructions that says you can do this.

It may be a game of "Pass it around" as each player finishes their turn and hands off the system to the next player. I haven't figured that out yet and considering the only place I have seen this game is here on eBay it is unlikely that any of my friends will pick it up.

My biggest gripe about the game - and this is huge in today's portable game market - is that there is no save function. You cannot save your game at all. This is incredible considering that nearly every portable game out there has some form of game saving function due to the fact that it is a portable game.

This is somewhat tempered in the case of RISK in that 3-player games tend to be over and done with in about an hour. More than likely the more players you have the longer and more difficult the game will be.

Without a save function though there isn't much point in playing more than 3 players unless you have the time to devote to a longer game. As far as portable RISK goes, it does a decent job of presenting the classic game of world domination. Just don't expect much beyond that. If you have a long ride on the bus ahead of you this will pass the time wonderfully.

The DS would be the best portable interface for the game and the wireless and Wi-Fi connectivity offers plenty of possibilities for multiplayer options. Instead we are left to wait and wonder, and bide our time with this version for now.
