Jenga - Android Market

Jenga - Android Market

OK took a day off for my birthday so just a quick review to save people some money. Jenga is a popular board game and many people might just purchase this on impulse.

I was excited to see this game hit the Market thinking it would adapt well to play on a handheld device, I was wrong. The game just doesn't play right, its very hard to just choose a piece and remove it from the stack. It is just a game that will frustrate you and waste your time and for $2.99 you expect a perfect game not some buggy unplayable garbage.

I don't like to use such harsh language in my reviews but for a game they charge 3 times more than many smash hits you would think this was beta tested before release. I'm sure they made tons of money just from name recognition and Android owners appetite for new games, any games.

So please save your money and remember if you buy a game you have 15 minutes to change your mind after installing it, I'm a firm believer in lite versions and am always skeptical of high priced games. Isn't it funny how all the best game apps are 99 cents? They make money by selling large numbers of the app via word of mouth. Big name games always charge a premium and like some big budget movies never live up to the hype.

They are just trying to make as much money as fast as possible before the public catches on, OK rant over. This game was tested by both myself and my wife, we both agree the graphics are outdated and while the game physics look and feel fine this is just a monotonous boring endeavour.
