It's A Bust December 15, 2003

Warning, this game does not run on Windows XP or Windows 2000.

I bought this yesterday for $2.99 at the local computer store. Took it home, and tried to install it. First, the setup program wanted to install DirectX 7 on my system, whereas I have DirectX 9 already.

Next, I start the game, and it crashes almost instantly. Check the box... it says "Windows 95/98". Since I have XP, I assume I'm OK. Then I check the Interplay web site... Aha! This game does not work on Windows XP. Well, for $2.99, it was a small gamble on my part to buy it. It might be a good game, but I can't tell you for sure.

This is possibly the cheesiest card game i've ever seen. Trust me and stick to the freecell and solitaire that comes with windows. Don't waste your money on this.

Yet another mediocre addition to an already saturated market of casino based games. This game brings nothing new to the table. The graphics are very redundant and do very little if nothing to take advantage of the 2D/3D hardware which is present in the majority of gamer's machines at present. Bottom line, too little too late.

Don't judge a game by its box. My expectations upon seeing this one were blown away once I opened it and started up the game. Metropolis Card Club is one of the nicest casino games I've played for Windows. It's got beautiful animated graphics and is quick and easy to play, not to mention extremely addictive. It actually includes 5 games in one. Along with the typical Blackjack, there's several others that I've never seen before in a video blackjack type game (Baccarat, Hi-Lo, Red Dog, and Bone Ace). It's designed to run similarly to other Windows games like Freecell and Solitaire, so you can easily switch back and forth between Metropolis and other applications. All in all, Metropolis offers a lot of fun without completely taking over your computer. I definitely recommend it to casino game fans (and those who aren't too!).
