Tens and Twos review (iPod/iPhone)
January 4, 2012♫ “Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine”
10 word description: iPhone rendition of ‘old favourite’ card game. Retina graphics. Game Center.
10 word review: Full featured, polished, great tutorial. Very well presented and fun.
You will like this if you enjoy: Playing card games (against good AI opponents) on your iPhone/iPod.
The good news: Clean and attractive graphics. Nice menus and UI in general. Loads of options. Excellent interactive tutorial. Decent AI opponents. A fun 4-player card game to rival Hearts.
The bad news: It’s hard to think of anything to criticise; even the audio is pretty good with a choice of 3 tunes and separate volume controls for music and sound effects. I suppose there could be a pass-and-play multiplayer option, but it’s currently only a single-player game and it works very well as one of those.
Arcadelife verdict: Card games seem to be hit-or-miss affairs on mobile devices; luckily, this one is definitely in the ‘hit’ category. After taking the interactive tutorial, which is excellent apart from a couple of text typos in the instructions, I knew everything I needed to know and felt confident taking on three AI opponents. The game is simple to play, with good game speed and nice card animations. Overall, it’s a fun game and a recommendation for anyone looking for a good single-player card game that isn’t Solitaire!
