Fun for the whole family

I got this for my 8 year old nephew and he loved it! When he plays, the adults can't help but try to solve the puzzle with him.

Doesn't work with Vista

I was excited to get this game. I didn't know if it would work with Vista or not, everything is a gamble when it comes to Vista it seems. This will not work on Vista.

Interesting

A big part of it is just memory. Trying to remember which square matches
another square. That is kid stuff in my opinion. But there are puzzles
under the squares that are interesting. So people of any age could enjoy
the game.

Concentration old and new

I bought this product for two reasons...
First I use to play the game as a kid when it was on a scroll and small cards you placed on the grill over the screen.
I loved it...
I also purchased it to keep my mind working in the sense of guessing which space did I just see the item....
Both have met my expectations and it is neat to play against the computer.
So I rate it a 4 out of 5....

Just like the game show.

Concentration is a classic game of mixing and matching that kids have enjoyed for ages. Now the board game comes to your PC in an all-new version with some new game modes. In this game show style presentation, you'll compete against AI or other players as you try to memorize what's under each card & try to win prizes.

A Perfect Match?

These days, we're seeing a lot of great game shows make it to the computer like Family Feud and Deal Or No Deal do very well. But, we often do seem to forget about the classics that influenced us for so long. ne of the most forgotten game shows of all time, Concentration, has delivered so well on television back in the 1960's, 70's and 80's and early 90's with Alex Trebek and other hosts. But, the show has been off of television for so long, it can be really difficult to make a great game shine again, and this game may prove part of that point for your computer.

Concentration for the P.C., takes the classic NBC game show into your hands. The game is very simple with memory, as you try to make as many matches as possible for prizes. Once you match a pair from the 25 squares on the board, it will open up to display a part of a rebus puzzle that you could possibly solve. There are around 100 different puzzles to solve in the game that could be a saying, a person, or a title. The graphics really work nicely, but there are very few puzzles, which can quickly make the gameplay seem a bit tiring after awhile, even though it is fun to enjoy all over again.

All in all, I was just hoping Concentration would be more exciting for the home computer, but it is a fairly good reintroduction to one of the most delightful game shows of all time. I haven't seen the show on television in years, but it was a joy to watch. If you haven't ever watched the game show during its era on television in years, than you might be interested. Otherwise, lets hope for a better sequel than can be a better match.

A good solid game. Puzzles come in three levels of difficulty. I enjoyed this game show as a kid and this pc game does bring out the shows qualities. No problems loading and playing the game using windows xp.
