The graphics don't add anything to this collection of well known games.

This game compiles a lot of games you probably know. But the graphics don't hide the fact that that's all it is.
There are a lot of games in here, like Parcheesi, Battleship, Connect Four, and more. The only difference between the ones in this game and the originals are the inclusion of clear graphics. They might be different styled pieces or different environments. They are fun to watch but don't add much to the gameplay.
There is also some music and sound effects thrown in for fun. They are not that noticeable, though.
Now, there are a couple good things about this game that I'll list. One is that it has excellent multiplayer. You can play Chinese Checkers with like 8 people and using only one controller. Another thing is a trophy room, and besides for having fun, this is the only reason why you'll actually want to play the game. There are various achievements that you can do in each game, and they appear as trophies in the Trophy Room. They're actually kind of fun to look at.
But you probably won't enjoy this at all if you don't even like REAL board games in the first place. This game just isn't worth a buy and is only fun a couple of times. That said, go play a real board game and save electricity, because you've been there and done that with Ultimate Board Game Collection.
