Windows Phone Game Review: Yaht 3D

Yaht 3D for Windows Phone

Yaht 3D is a uncomplicated yet entertaining game for your Windows Phone that is patterned later the legendary die game Yahtzee. If you're familiar with Yahtzee, Yaht 3D will exist an easy game to choice up and the game is a swell fashion to pass the time with.

The graphics and animations are very nice and the game of Yahtzee e'er has its challenges. Yaht 3D supports single actor, multiplayer or you vs the calculator games. Then you lot can pass the time to yourself or challenge your neighbor to a game.

The layout is elementary with options to play the game and access Yaht 3D's options resting on the main folio. Options cover the rules of the game, settings besides as the customary nigh/contact/rate the app type screens.

Settings offer options to plow on/off the sound, fast dice rolls, fast reckoner play, location services for ads, and the milk shake to roll feature. Yous also have two dice systems to choose from. The New Die System (which I like the best) leaves the die where they country and you tap on the die that you wish to hold. The old organisation lines them up at the bottom of the screen after the curlicue and you lot tap the ones y'all wish to concur. I similar the New Die Organisation because information technology gives the game a more realistic feel to information technology.

The shake to roll characteristic is nice but I'one thousand e'er concerned with these type options. Too not bad a risk of your Windows Phone flying across the room.

When you launch a game, you lot will exist presented the options on how many players will exist competing. You tin can accept up to six players or as few as one. Players can be human being or computer and you lot toggle between the types by borer on the icon next to the name field. In one case you have your players established tap Start Game and you lot're in business.

The game play is just similar Yahtzee in that you are given a score bill of fare with a defined gear up of goals (full house, four of kind, total number of fours rolled, etc.) that you attempt to match with the dice. You lot roll your die three times, holding on to the die that will go towards matching one of the goals. After the tertiary whorl of the die you lot choose which goal you desire to score (tap it) and so tap the Score imprint to move on to the adjacent histrion. You can only match a goal once and if you lot don't meet any goals, you accept to choose a goal to accept a null score on.

Players take turns until the all the goals are met or scored nix on.

The but thing really missing from Yaht 3D is a leaderboard, either online or local. You also lack the ability to pause the game (so that's two things). You tin hitting the dorsum button and while that pauses things, information technology serves every bit a prompt to end the game. I can encounter someone accidentally catastrophe a game and would have rather seen a bill of fare pop up when you hit the back push. And while I'm thinking about it, you really demand a style to salve your game's progress (okay... that's 3) and resume it when y'all have the time.

While there may be room for improvement, Yaht 3D is a fantastic game for your Windows Phone. Animations and graphics are nice and the game has ever been a favorite. If you're looking for an enjoyable game to pass the time with, take a expect at Yaht 3D.

Yaht 3D is a free, ad supported game that you tin can grab here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.
