    It's quite simple: If you like board games, you'll enjoy this game. If you don't like board games, you probably won't. As an avid board game player, I think that this game is great. There's nothing like being about to play a great board game with people all over the world, or even against the computer if you feel like it.

    This is one of my favorite board games over the last few years, and this port does the job without getting in the way. It is quick and easy to learn, but there is a lot of depth to playing; there isn't too much planning on every move, like some other games so decisions can be fairly quick.

Like all board games it isn't speedy, but if you want something speedy, you aren't going to be playing a video game version of a board game. I'm very much looking forward to the expansions for this game because i really like the Europe board, and the 1910 expansion. This is definitely one of the best board games in recent years and is great for the whole family, and a great introduction to modern board games to people who don't normally play them.… Expand

    I've been kinda surprised by some of the reviews, criticising it for being slow (an inherent feature of most board games...its no slower than carcassonne, catan and certainly not monopoly) or for there being too many board games on xbla is silly. It should be reviewew on its own merits, the depth of the strategy, the interface, its addictive nature etc. So...it doesnt have the same I've been kinda surprised by some of the reviews, criticising it for being slow (an inherent feature of most board games...its no slower than carcassonne, catan and certainly not monopoly) or for there being too many board games on xbla is silly. It should be reviewew on its own merits, the depth of the strategy, the interface, its addictive nature etc. So...it doesnt have the same level of strategy as something like carcassonne or catan and i was kinda disappointed with the content provided (only one map and mode despite mentioning europe and other modes in the instructions which well get charged for via dlc). However the game is extremely addictive and the best board game ive played on 360 since carcassonne. Would thoroughly recommend it to any fans of the genre, particularly for its online play.… Expand

    Didn't know the board game and downloaded the trial game without many expectations. However it's a surprisingly good game with a decent amount of strategy to it. Can't wait for the additional DLC which is already announced.

    This is a very good adaptation of the board game. The makers captured the game's rules well and updated it with animations and sound. Better yet, it has single player (1 person versus AI), local multiplayer (1-3 people versus AI), and Xbox Live multiplayer (1 person versus a mix of online people and AI), so you are guaranteed a good time.

    A fantastic addition to the XBLA board game collection, probably even better than Catan and Carcassonne. The game has a great balance between strategy and luck, and the team did an excellent job bringing the experience to the video game world. Any complaints are minor -- such as red tracks being hard to differentiate from orange tracks -- but nothing that detracts from the experience.

    Faithful adaptation of the board game. Music and sound effects are sparse. Red and orange look almost alike. Cards are missing symbols, making things difficult for the colorblind.

    Nice game! Great for when I need the pace slowed down a bit, but decent strategy. Strategy is a weakness on Xbox. Glad this one is around.

    One of the best arcade games on Xbox live. If you like board games, you'll love it. My wife is obsessed too, which doesn't happen often with games.

    It's nice to feel engrossed by a board game again. [July 2008, p.66]

    The biggest problem that most will have with Ticket to Ride is that it’s slow, but that’s inherent to board games themselves. The multiplayer is decent and the strategy elements are good and reasonably deep.

    Ticket to Ride will split gamers' opinions. For those who love this genre, there is no reason not to enjoy this game. But for people who do not like slow-paced European board games, Ticket to Ride is not likely to change your view of the genre.
