Editor's review of Hoyle Solitaire

• "Hoyle Solitaire"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Hoyle Solitaire 1.0.0.2

Any way you shuffle it, it's still a deck of cards. Though this solitaire program offers an impressive collection of games, it's no trump card in this competive market. Hoyle Solitaire is geared for more seasoned card players, as there are no "hints" for rookie card sharks to get through some of the more challenging games. You can undo moves, however, as well as pause games to pick up later. The graphics are crisp, and the card styles are slick, with an impressive choice of desk designs and images. We would have liked the cards to display a bit larger, however, and for avid card fans, the 20-minute trial period may seem a bit stingy. Overall, Hoyle Solitaire is a decent card program, but if it had more tricks (or cards) up its sleeve, we'd be more eager to play.
