Customer Review: Great game but get the patch
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is great if you know how to get it loaded. My son and daughter who are 6 and 10 love it. It's entertaining and teaches chess. I'm writing this to save someone else a headache when loadingI have windows xp and when I first tried to load it it wouldn't work. I needed to restart the computer. Then you need to download two patches available from the software company selectsoft that makes this. You may also need to open the game from the configuration menu rather than from start. Also at the configuration menu you can change the resolution to speed up your mouse. From the start meunu you can click on properties for lego chess and choose different compatabilities for different window programs like 2000 or '98. You may need these if it doesn't run properly. Lego.com/interactive also gives trouble shooting tips. All is worth the effort because it's a super fun game for kids!Customer Review: a great game that will provide fun for children and adults.
Summary: 5 Stars
This game turned me into a chess player in just two weeks of playing every once in a while. This game may discourage people who think that chess is too hard to learn or people who think chess is for freaks. This game is good for people who don't know a bishop from a knight because of the game's built in tutor who teaches you all you need to know and some techniques I never expected him to cover. When playing chess, captures are animated in a half Battle Chess, half jokes you can find off Loony Tunes style.For instance, when a bishop captures a queen, the bishop shoots a spell at the queen and the queen is shrunk down to nothing. This game features chess sets from the Western and Pirates themes as well as a traditional chess set. Lego shouldn't have discontinued this game.It's both fun and educational.Gosh, there's five words I'd thought I'd never say in a row.Customer Review: Fun but lots of crash bugs
Summary: 2 Stars
My son loves this game but multiple times per session he is asking "daddy why is the computer frozen?". There is a patch online to make it work with Vista and another patch for crash bugs but after installing both the product is still VERY unstable. I expect a lot more from LEGO.
There are cut scenes with guns, but no killing, if that is a concern.
Customer Review: Great game for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I gave the game to my kids (6 and 8 yrs) for X-mas, they play chess. They even play with a real board and learn more and more about the game. Great start for budding chess enthusiasts.Customer Review: Love the product, love the supplier!
