I have been waiting for a word game and was looking forward to trying this one. Problem is that I tried to download it TWICE and both times the files were corrupt! Therefore I lost out this time. Oh well I guess.

East or West, DoubleGame totally sucks! How many more times will you have to repeat this wise proverb to understand it?

You’ll get so tired of adding words to the dictionary that you’ll lose sight of the gameplay. The add-a-word feature should be there as a backup in case you forgot a couple of words in the dictionary. Your users shouldn’t have to build the dictionary themselves!

TextTwist this is not.

Downloaded and installed fine.

You do NOT have to clear the entire word, use the backspace key and it will clear letter by letter.

I don’t find the letters coming up too fast although for a youngster it could start out slower. I got through round four but lost because I was interrupted!

What I find is the slow keyboard/mouse response when choosing letters. There seems to be too much of a delay between choice and display. I know it’s not my equipment, I’ve got enough of everything in this machine.

I am a big word game fan, well, any game really except for alien type shootum ups. This one doesn’t quite rank up there with the other hundreds I have.

Installation – 10 (as usual)
Graphics – 6 (not bad really)
Game Play – 6 (usual word type game play)
Keyboard/Mouse action – 0 (delay from time letter chosen to letter displaying very poor)

So – middle of the road game I would not pay for. Does this average out to 5 – if it does that’s too high.

I love word games, but I’m not so great at fast typing or mousing. This would be great for someone trying to improve their skills. It should not be marketed as a game.

Well yes it is almost like any other word games but offers a good premise and although seems to be lacking in the vocabulary list it isn’t worth complaining about…its FREE! thanks GGOTD…although today may not be the best game I appreciate any game…
