Its okay, but...

Its the typical hangman game made famous by Wheel of Fortune (okay, it was famous before that). The graphics are alright. But the sound effects are horrible. Theyre just weird and annoying. And when you guess the word correctly, the sound it makes sounds more like something you would expect to hear if you LOST, not if you WON. Its disharmonious and doesnt imply "victory" or "success" in any way. In fact, its a little like fingernails on a chalkboard. They need to work on the sounds.

And heres another critique: there arent enough different words. I like to play the Sports category, but it hasnt taken me long before some of the same words keep coming up again and again. Theyve recently come with a slew of additional words -- in foreign languages! Why do they think I would want that? Why include foreign language words in the English version of the game? Not all that useful.

All in all, the game is cute, and whats not to like about hangman? But with the weird sounds and the lack of words (in English), I really cant go much beyond a 3 in rating this game…and thats being pretty generous.

The good news is, it isnt very expensive. It wouldnt be worth any more.
