    A solid collection of 18 card games. It does not go overboard with extra features that don’t belong in a card game, yet it has a surprising amount of content.

    For 800 Microsoft Points (or about $10), it’s a nice diversion when you need a change of pace. Just don’t expect a lot of bells and whistles, and you’ll have some fun if you play your cards right.

    There's no denying that, well, this is Solitaire. And while there are a lot of different variations on offer here, you need to really love these types of family games to get your money's worth out of Soltrio.

    Soltrio Solitaire can only really be recommended to those who really enjoy the card game and simply have to play it on their Xbox 360. For everyone else there’s just not enough here that’s different or exciting enough to warrant buying and downloading the game.

    But with wonky, counterintuitive controls and nothing really new or compelling to add, Soltrio Solitaire doesn't give you a good reason to spend your solitaire time or money in the Arcade. [July 2007, p.79]

    A classic waste of time, in more than one sense. [Issue#23, p.96]

    Plenty of modes, but still overpriced. [Aug 2007, p.100]

It's a very nicely crafted collection, and the online play works very well. The Achievements range from easy to very difficult and will keep you coming back time and again. Oh, and GameSpot - considering that you're charging money for game information that can be obtained free of charge all over the Internet, your review can only be described as hypocritical.… Expand

    Sorry. Worst purchase Ive made on XBLA so far. Not much replay value and some of the achievements are insanely hard. One of them requires you Sorry. Worst purchase Ive made on XBLA so far. Not much replay value and some of the achievements are insanely hard. One of them requires you to beat a game of Solitare in under a minute. This basically means you have to spam buttons blindly hoping you have a clearable board that you can finish with nothing but luck. Gameplay is bland and the controls are not very well done. Instructions for most unfamiliar games are HORRIBLE leaving you to learn a game entirely on your own, or in some cases, never learning them. Buy Pac Man Championship or Root Beer Tapper instead.… Expand
