YOU ADVERTISE 10 CHARACTERS ON THE GAME DOUBLECROSSBUT THERE ARE NOT. YOU ADVERTISE A DOG AND ANDINOSAUR ON THE GAME. I HAVE AN IDEA WHY NOTACTUALLY MAKE THE DOUBLECROSS GAME WITH ALL THECHARACTERS YOU ADVERTISE. THE GAME IS A LOT OF FUN.I LIKE THE FACT THAT THE CHARACTERS TALK. I WOULDENJOY IT MORE IF ALL THE CHARACTERS YOU ADVERTISEWERE ON THE GAME.

2001 version worked!
Even though some of the games were just slightly different than the previous release (which I had had for years), I'm really enjoying the games. I had tried buying the earlier version (identical to what I had before), but it didn't run on my computer.

Even Better Than Its Predecessor
Hoyle Word Games 2001 has added a new game to its collection--Wordox. This is an exciting game similar to DoubleCross. There are four players in the game. The object of the game is to place your word on the board and outwit your opponent before the timer stops. What's especially fun about this game is that you can steal your opponent's entire word instead of a few measley letters. Or, you can place a letter on a pink tile and clear the board. Wordox is quite a challenge.Hangman, Enigma, Anagrams, and Speedy Racer are the same. In DoubleCross, you play with three other characters. At first, I thought, "Ugh! Why did they have to change this?" Then I started playing and found myself totally addicted. I play this game more than the others. There are still the mystery squares, the bombs in the corners, and points galore. After an hour, I went back to the older version of Word Games and got bored. Word Yacht has the four-player mode as well. With Crosswords, you can either play by yourself or with an opponent. The same goes with Word Search. The difference between the single and double-player games is that with the double-player, you have to solve the clues or find the word in a certain amount of time. Once your time is up, it's the other player's turn. Hoyle still kept the Face Maker feature, which my whole family loves. Like one reviewer said, you can make a character that is either conservative, funny, or outright weird. This game is the perfect gift for any word or puzzle enthusiast.

Fabulous fun!
This is a super CD for people addicted to word games. WORD YACHT is my favorite; it's a word version of Yahtzee, and is great fun. I love the way you can bump up the level of play from beginniner-to-expert. Although the games have a set up of four players, I remove two soo that my opponent is but one. Great software!
