Mahjong Epic

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on October 28, 2009

First, let's be clear on what Mahjong Epic isn't: it isn't Mahjong. Rather, it's Mahjong solitaire, which is something else entirely. If you're looking for Mahjong, you're going to be disappointed. If you're looking for a Mahjong you can play alone, however, we think you'll be pleased with this program.

The program's interface is quite sleek and attractive, with all of the features and options arranged neatly with rounded buttons. The program offers 100 different tile arrangements, as well as the capability for users to create their own arrangements with as many tiles as they like. The graphics are of good quality, and each game is displayed on top of rotating nature scenes. Gentle Enya-like music and sound effects are optional. The program doesn't have a Help file, per se, but there is a page of instructions that explains the concept of the game. Overall, we liked Mahjong Epic very much; it's not flashy, but it's very well-made and easy to play. Those of us who grew up begging our typing teachers to let us play Taipei in the school computer lab when we were done with our lessons will find Mahjong Epic to be a relaxing and attractive rendition of the familiar game.

Mahjong Epic has a 10-use trial period. It installs desktop icons without asking and leaves a file behind upon removal. We recommend this program to all users.

    "Blending of colors and sounds and lighting of tiles!"

    June 5, 2009  |   By Zeke Canidae

    Version: Mahjong Epic 1.35

    Pros

    Mahjong Epic has it all: the top of the line graphics pleasing moody music and backgrounds that make it the most satisfying and expert mahjong experience. Plus this is a Mahjong Construction Set! It's well worth every penny. This is the one to buy.

    Cons

    There are no cons.

    Summary

    The Kristanix Studios have proven they are among the most advanced professionals in the business. The way lighting from changing backgrounds flows with the highly original and soothing virtuoso music provides a Mahjong experience that gives a feeling of ease and relaxation while all the time providing challenging puzzles. Plus this is an amazing bargain because it is also a Mahjong Construction Set. Use the Kristanix Studio's Editor to create your own patterns of mahjong puzzles. You'll never have more fun than playing your own creations, especially because Kristanix is at the top of the profession when it comes to combining and blending light and color and sound to captivate mahjong puzzlers with a whole environment of game play. I have other Mahjong games but they cannot compare to the elegant and fascinating production put out by Kristanix. This is the one mahjong program that is worth every cent. No need to look elsewhere because without a doubt this is the one to purchase.
