Battleship is probably the smoothest and best of the bunch. The graphics are nice, you can select from a variety of 'ship' styles, to break up the monotony, and the multi-player single card is definately a great platform. Much more fun than setting up the old milton-bradley style game. A quick pick up and play and you won't have to keep track of all those daqrn red pins! Yahtzee was a little slow to me. Too much wasted time waiting for the rolls. Plus, you can't see the entire scorecard while playing.. You have to scroll up and down it all the time to help decide what to do with rolls. The graphics are OK, but nothing special. Its Yahtzee, thats all I can say. My wife spent several hours playing BOGGLE and it appears to be very good. We haven't tried the Monopoly yet, but, I figure with the multi-player single card play, again, like battleship, much smoother than all the pieces you have to deal with in the old boarc game style of play. This would not be 'my' first choice for a DS title, but, my wife seems to like it a lot. Thats all that matters, huh? Thank goodness some games are developed for all of us and not just the hard corer's. I predict this will end up in the bargain bins soon. Oh, and I noticed, in single card multi-player, sound was only on the host controller, not the downloaded DS'... I didn't appreciate that at all.
