    As the game progresses the camera pulls back further and further from the "board" making it a bit difficult to see. There is a zoom that works so slightly that it might as well not exist. The player scoreboard graphics are too big while the game pieces are generally small and hard to see for the majority of a game. But the game itself is very fun.

There is a zoom that works so slightly that it might as well not exist. The player scoreboard graphics are too big while the game pieces are generally small and hard to see for the majority of a game. But the game itself is very fun. Too bad the implimentation and presentation for the 360 video game is so marginal. Despite it's weaknesses, it is playable and easy to learn. I do hope they update it in order to improve the game's video presentation. I have played the German computer version which has excellent presentation --- the kind Xbox 360 should have. Please update it.… Expand

    Pretty boring, but perfect if you have nothing else to do. I never played the board game, so when i picked this up, i was really, really confused.

    I honestly didn’t know much about Carcassonne before I played it on XBLA, but the cozy format and computer control makes it a lot of unfettered fun. Sierra also promises that it’ll add some of the board game’s expansion as inexpensive downloads soon, which will extend the gameplay that much more.

    As a simple, yet effective translation of the German board game, Carcassonne proves an oddly addictive experience.
