• It might be fun--if you had a chance of winning

  wakenerNovember 16, 2014

  Pros

  The file is small, and easily erased. It does have a 2-player option, which might be more fun.

  Cons

  It's near-impossible to win against the computer, which ruins any fun one might have in single player.

  Summary

  The problem with the game lies in the inability to choose which grid one's next move is on in Single Player. The computer always wins because there is virtually no chance the player will be allowed access to a grid to make a countermove, or to a board where he has the advantage, and even if he is, it's a rarity that said board will be of any strategic value. Most of the grids I have lost to the computer were grids on which I was never given the opportunity to counter a single move of the computer's. Many grids were ones which I dominated, but was not given the chance to place my final marker. I've had two in a row with no opposing moves, yet lost the grid because it would only be highlighted after that on the computer's turn more times than I've been willing to count. This game might have some merit in head-to-head play, but if you are looking for a single player experience, look elsewhere. Unless you really like losing ALL THE TIME.
