I quite enjoyed this game, and think that the price is more than fair. Seriously, to the reviewers I've seen, saying the game was too short.. IT COST $10!!! show me something else I can do (And actually enjoy) for 3+ hours, that only cost's me $10 (Insert obvious mum joke here)..

I do agree with crashlanding about the un-skippable mini games, they kind of detract a little from the rest of the game, but overall its good fun!!

Go on, Buy it, You'll love it.

As a chess game, This game is quite good, But there are plenty of quite good chess games around, I was looking for something reminiscent of good old "Battle Chess" on the Amiga/C64/heaps of systems, This unfortunately isn't quite as good as that one, Graphically of course its heaps better, But the animations are over before you know it and there is only one animation for attacking no matter the unit.

The folder issue mentioned by nef601 has been fixed and you can drag it wherever you like and it will still run. However, The install is a bit ... Odd?. When you first mount the disk, it suggests you drag the folder into applications, however, that folder contains an installer program that you must run to install the game. No big deal, Just doubling up on the copying and then having to delete the installer program later.

All that being said, as a chess game, it is quite good, There is no waiting around while the AI thinks things through as you see in some games, And the AI also appears to be intelligent enough to set traps several moves in advance.

The mini games, and other game variations also give it some replay value, Having a campaign is also quite interesting, I haven't actually played this mode yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I give it 4/5 stars as it should be rated it for what it is, not what I hoped it would be.
