    A well done video game adaptation of a classic; Yahtzee is one of those "one more time" games. with different modes, multiplayer on/ off line, and leader boards for high scores, it can be difficult to put the controllers down. The only issue that I had with the game is that you often chose the wrong category after you roll the dice and there is no way to go back once you "accidentally" A well done video game adaptation of a classic; Yahtzee is one of those "one more time" games. with different modes, multiplayer on/ off line, and leader boards for high scores, it can be difficult to put the controllers down.

    The interface is solid, rolling the dice is fun, and there are no papers or pencils to deal with. So leave the dice in the drawer and fire this one up on your TV instead.
  2. Despite a few flaws and one ill-conceived megamix, these games are treated with the respect they deserve at a price we’re willing to pay. We’re happy to see them on Arcade where they belong.
