Guide Review - Game Review: 'Platinum Solitaire'
Solitaire is one of those mobile gaming standbys likeSnake or Tetris , which makes Gameloft’s update attempt risky. Luckily, Platinum Solitaire manages to be both classic and refreshing. It features six different solitaires: original, golf, pyramid, free cell, Yukon and spider. Each variant is interesting enough to have its own version, and the graphics and sound are top notch for a card game. The wager system, and the ability to unlock more casinos, adds to the flavor. Novice card players may be turned off by the high difficulty level in the later games – a successful game of spider can take more than a half-hour of deep concentration – but you can still progress by sticking with even one of the variants. All in all, an excellent road trip game.
