User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Good game, but nothing special
I bought this game to replace an older Mah Jong when I upgraded to a new computer.

The game works fine on Vista but isn’t a whole lot better then the Mahjong Tiles game that comes with Vista.

4 Stars A real seat warmer
Mahjongg Master 4 is great if you like the game, especially as an alternative to other solitaire games like Spider or Free Cell. The options for this game are many and the way it is organized is very user friendly. The thing I really like about it is that it was very easy to install on my laptop and PC and you don’t need the disk once its on your computer. The layout configurations are very challenging.

3 Stars I was satisfied
As other people said the game goes by quick, and it does. I would have liked it to be a little longer. Most of the puzzles were quikly done but there were a couple that got me stuck. I did order Dream Chronicles 2 becuase I want to see where the story goes because it is a cliffhanger! The graphics are great. I guess the only thing I was upset about was that it was too short.

3 Stars Too easy and too short
Finished the entire game in about 3 hours of playing time. Not really worth it and not very challenging. Held my attention while I was playing, but was too short to want to buy the second version.

3 Stars Great for Children
This is a beautifully created game, of a lovely magical land. But, it is not for gamers that enjoy challenges. This game is for early teens, or with a parent helping, younger.

2 Stars Is that all there is??
I played a free demo of this game and about 30 minutes into gameplay –just before my free demo time was up– spent the $20 to purchase the complete version, not because I thought it was a fantastic game but because I thought it would provide me with a much prettier, more visually and mentally stimulating “rest & recharge” game than Solitaire, which is what I usually play on my laptop during work or study breaks. I thought that $20 would be a worthwhile investment for such a purpose. I also thought that the gentle puzzles and hidden-object searches that occupied my first 1/2 hour would either continue for some time, eventually becoming more difficult as they led up to the big game finish, or that the object-finding and diary-reading would serve as the “backstory/buildup” phase, after which the real adventure would begin. Actually, neither of these things happened. After downloading my full version I played Dream Chronicles for about another 15 minutes –not kidding– and then it was over. That’s it. I finished the game. No more. Of course, I can always play it again, but I’ve already figured out all the puzzles, which don’t change. I understand that the positions of the hidden objects change if you play it again, which I guess is Dream Chronicles’s version of “replay-ability”. Really? Even at $20 I feel ripped off. Fortunately my new desktop computer comes with a demo version of Dream Chronicles 2, so if I can blaze through that one in the free time, at least I can feel as though I wasted only $10 apiece. . .

1 Star WARNING MAC USERS !!!
Regardless of what the packaging says, DREAM CHRONICLES DOES NOT WORK ON OSX 10.5 INTEL POWERED MAC COMPUTERS ! It will install but will not open. I’m taking this up with the game publisher as the newest incarnation of the game plainly states that it is compatible with Intel Macs. This simply is NOT true !
