Is Pocket Reversi any good, then?

[gordon]

I'm not interested in buying the UK version for ?8 squillion, but I might pick up a cheap US cart if I can. The trouble is, I don't really know:

a) what Reversi is
b) if it's any good

Are there any helpful NGPC review sites? Or anyone here got an opinion on it?

Cheers

its basically othello </i think>

a/ you have black and white circles and a grid and at the end of the game the person with the most color on the grid when its complete is the winner

b/ its ****

alot of mobile phones have the same game on them

You can't buy the US version; never came out in the US

All the US sellers are shifting the loose UK copies they have. Loose, it's a piece of piss to pick up and costs about ?5. Complete is when the price goes loopy

As a game of Othello, it plays very well actually.

Ta for the advice.

So this one at Play-Asia isn't the US version?

Chances are thats a loose European cart.

No, it's the UK version. First sign is the fact all US NGPC games have the ESRB value on it (E for everyone, M for mature etc). No sign of that.

If you pull up the close shot of the card, you can see the product number ends in 104. That's the UK code. All Japanese NGPC games had an extra 0 on the end, and all US NGPC games had an extra 1 on the end (eg. it would be 1040 and 1041 respectively, though naturally as said there is no US version).
