Review:

Ever just been so bored at work you opened up a game of solitaire? Of course you have, haven't we all. That simple MS version of solitaire meets all your anti-boredom needs, at least for one round. After that one round, you lose your interest again and start to search for something else to do.

Now, what you want is something that will keep you playing, even after that one round. This is exactly the aim of Action Solitaire. You start it up and start playing, the timer starts off with quite a bit of time on it, most everyone can complete the first round. Then, you get to the next one and the game is a bit different, and you must complete is faster than the last. As you progress in the game, the rounds get harder and the timer gets shorter.

Although this holds your attention longer than the simple MS solitaire, it isn't worth the money. If you want to compete for times, just open up notepad and record the time it takes you to complete one round, and keep doing that until you don't beat your last time. It gives you motivation to play more and it holds your attention, minus the ~$25 wasted.

If you are too lazy to record your own times, or just like the idea of a game with the word "Action" in the name, then buy this game. If you still have fun with MS solitaire, stick with that, you'll be much happier.

Conclusion:

Like I said, only buy this if you must, or have money to waste. It is not worth it's price tag, and you should just stick with a free version.
