Waste of money!

You cannot play partners, at least in straight mode, which is the only mode I am interrested in playing. Very few options, which is surprising considering their domino master gold for the pc has a lot of options including partners support. After every game you get sent to the main menu even on player matches. This game could have been so much better, what a waste of an opportunity. Sad [:(]

Yeah, I'm glad I tested the trial first.  No partner play is a shame and IMO the graphics and sound are very lackluster.  I want beautiful dominoes with a nice click clack sound.

Re: Waste of money!

You welcome! I didn’t have time earlier to explain more about the game. Although I wanted people to know purchasing this game was a mistake. At least to me. The game graphically is ok, so is the sound. Which really shouldn’t matter much if the game is fun. Specially a card and board game. Like I said in my previous post, the game does not support partners. To me that is a huge let down.

The developer has a version of the game for pc . I tried it a few minutes before the game was released on XBLA. I tried a trial which made me even more excited about the game cause the pc version has lots of great features and options. You can play partners, choose between different tables, different domino types, win by rounds or points, how the first game starts, who starts after the first game, force play, how much time you have until you are forced to play. I know there were more but my trial is up so I cannot go and check.

I was surprised to find these and many more options and feature not in the XBLA version of the game. Another problem with the game is that after every match, even player matches, you have to go to the main menu and search or create a new game. I play uno with my girlfriend all the time and I love it, I was hoping this would be another game to play besides uno, but all the features and fun factor that uno has is missing in this game. If you guys think that a petition might help or even if you guys are aware of one please let me know. Also, anybody willing to add me as friend you are more than welcomed to do so.

Re: Waste of money!

a petition wont help get a lobby put in place.  the same thing happened with mad tracks and they never fixed it.  once they have your money i dont think they care about fixing many things other than gameplay glitches like achievement glitches, screen freezing etc.

 

im not saying it isnt possible they will revise the way the game interacts (crystal quest actually did this)

but im saying the chances aren't good. 

 

this is bad news to hear though.  lobbys are easily the most important function in multiplayer games.

Assunto: Re: Waste of money!
I tried the demo. I like to play domino in real life, so I gave it a shot in virtual one. At first, I thought it was cool because it had several game options. I tried all that the demo allowed and some more than once. And, after some time, I was really disappointed. It had potential but a lot of things were missing. I thought it was because of the demo and I was considering to buy or not the full one, but after what I read in these posts, I think the disappointment feeling is there, even after the purchase...
