Quite a charming title
Too long to make a move.
The computer takes too long to make a move when you play the hardest level. (average 1 minute) should be 20-30 second max. Hope they fix this problem with the updates.
A great chinese chess experience
The artwork is quite nice and original, soothing. Cool music too. Never any glitches and never freezes. I dig the westernized pieces since i m used to normal chess. Gameplay is perfect whether 1 or 2 players. This is exactly what i wanted. Superb for the price especially.
Best chinese chess app
Its easy to use and its a fun game. Thanks
A great introduction to chinese chess
This game is definitely worth owning...especially for players who are new to chinese chess.
Great Chinese chess game!
Nice graphics and interface... Great time killer!
Alright, rules need tweaking
Good game, nice interface... Some main rules not followed. The rule where two kings cannot directly face each other is not followed. This is very crucial to gaming strategy.
