I bought this on sale, figuring I would update my ancient Mahjongg 2 CD, which I can't claim I was ever thrilled with. For under double digits in price, I think I got a great deal on Mahjongg 5. I have Windows XP home and I installed it easily, with no interference to any other programs. The vast multitude of themes, backgrounds, tilesets to choose from is amazing to me. If you can't find one to play that you like, then you must be extremely picky. Yes, a few of them were too hard on the eyes and I will never play those tilesets. But I found a nice variety of ones to play and my kids could play it also. If a 4 year old can find the matches, they anyone should be able to. This version is way better than any other mahjongg I have played. I understand the frustration people have if it messes with their computer, but why does that have to become the games fault? As for the music being all the same, I though I noticed that it changed depending on what theme you pick, but if it annoys, you can just click it off. Give this game a shot, fear not the naysayers.

Good Gameplay

This game worked perfectly on my computer; once installed, I ended up really enjoying it. There are many new twists on mahjongg with interesting tile configurations. The only not so great thing about this disk is that there is only one continous song that plays over and over again. If this game had come with some different soundtrack it would have definetly recieved 5 stars from me :)

How Awful ! ! !

It looks compatable with just about anything, until you get it home and try it! You better have an 'Accelerated 3D card' and no other programs on your computer or your going to end up fighting this one from the start! If you can get it to load, be prepared to have plenty of problems with your other programs! Go with something that people are rating as 'good' instead of relying on the advice of store personnel who may not even know what mah-jong is! Just because it has more stuff at a bargain price, doesn't make it a bargain! It's a disaster!

A Terrible Waste of Money

This game is worthless. It may have over 350 tile sets but only about 50 look decent enough to see, and the sounds and animations are identical on every single tile on every single set. And this game has a tendency to lock up your computer or cause your mouse to malfunction when you try to minimize your game. I have one of the most up-to-date computers and it still has problems with this game. I do NOT recommend this game, nor anything by EGAMES because all of thier software is worthless. It's all just mini-versions of games you can find by OTHER publishers at the same price for full versions. Other publishers, like Hoyle for instance, give you a much better gaming experience. So dont look to Egames for Mahjongg unless you like wasting money.

It's a pretty good game !

I would say this game is pretty good. It has a lot of different layouts. The only thing I didn't like is that it isn't consecutive - like when you finish one layout it doesn't go to a next one or anything like that. Most of them are pretty easy. I love puzzle games though and MahJongg ROCKS!
