Catan (2003)

Great implementation and adaption of the board game. If you like Catan or new to the game you'll be pleased.

The PS3 version of this is easily accessible and enjoyable. It's missing some of the carton feel you get with the xbox 360 version, but this game appears to have more polish. I find the menus easier to navigate and just the general feel of the game is better.

Additionally, the 360 version had some quirks and an occasional serious bug that would crash your game. I haven't experienced anything like that with the PS3 adaptation. Plus, this game supports the newest set of rules for Catan like being able to utilize a port as soon as you own it.

One thing that the xbox version did better than this was the trading and emote system. But even then that system became annoying after a while.

If you like Catan you should like this, or if you are new to the game you should find this an entertaining entry.
