Although I still prefer the board game of Scrabble over the PC version (because there’s nothing like sitting on a square table, holding the tiles and goading your opponent to snap for a word he just invented), this conversion is pretty good. There’s a reason the game Scrabble is a classic and it’s because it can provide the whole family with great fun and it’s a game anybody can play. It’s also a game that enhances your vocabulary.
But since it is the digital age, and sometimes you just have a lot of time in your hands and you want to play Scrabble even when you are alone, I still installed the Scrabble for Windows on my PC.
At least I get to play the game even when I’m alone, and that is certainly something I can’t do with the board game. For people who don't know, the game is about taking tiles that represent letters and using them to make words on a board. Letters, such as "q", that are difficult to use in words are worth more points, whereas, common letters, such as "e", are not worth so much. The goal is to make words in a crossword fashion on the board that will score you the biggest points and propel you to win over your opponent.
The game has some nice additional features but I really just want my Scrabble the old way. This digital
version has different difficulty levels that you can adjust. Set it on low at first and then move on to the more difficult levels once you get the hand of playing against the AI. The easy levels are also perfect for grade school kids learning to spell.
One great feature of the game, though, is the dictionary which can really come in handy in the game. Still I think part of the fun pf playing Scrabble the board game is the suspense of looking for a particular word in the dictionary.
The game is wholesome and educational so this is one game that no one would object to having installed in their PC. It is a game that can easily be learned by young children and a game that even old folks can appreciate. The graphics and the sound of the game are pretty good. The graphics actually adds a little more fun to the whole game. And of course the sound adds to the experience. Scrabble is Scrabble in any form you play it. It’s a true classic that will last many more generations.
I recommend this game for downloading because it’s a game that anyone can enjoy. Even those who enjoy fast-paced adventure games, sometimes need a little educational game for when they are taking a break from work or even a break from another game. Just download it now even if you don’t intend to play it in right away. I’m sure there will come a time when you’re on your PC and would want to play a nice, classic game like the Scrabble.
