Ultimate Hangman Review

Animated characters add a bit of a twist to this otherwise fairly typical hangman game. Game starts by selecting a group of words by category (vocabulary, sports, countries, etc). Theres an option to make up custom word lists. Background music is relaxing, without loud or obnoxious sound effects during gameplay.

Game proceeds through each word in the category (new condemned character with each word), building onto your score with each successful word completion. Game ends when you fail to complete a word successfully (hangman does his job), with score reset to zero. No apparent way to save a game in progress.

If your goal is a high score, forget the notion of playing a short, leisurely, game. It would take a long time, a lot of words, to exceed even the lowest score already on the high score list (perhaps hundreds of words to best the #1 score). Would be nicer to have a blank high score list, allowing competition against myself at my own pace.

A pleasant game overall. If you enjoy hangman games, you likely wont be disappointed. Mac OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion compatible.
