If you are just a run-of-the-mill computer 'gamer' who enjoys a good match of solitaire or playing fun sim games like Sim City or Zoo Tycoon, then this 4-pack of games is a good choice, especially for families. While the graphics and altogether dynamic gameplay are not incredibly astounding, they are eye-catching and this is a great pack if you play games with friends, or if you enjoy to play against the computer.

Clue, Life, and Monopoly, are all board games-come-computer games that are colorfully done in cartoony 3d graphics. The gameplay is much like that of the boardgames with some cute interactive features and of course, a simulated 3d environment. Clue is a detective game where you have to figure out whodunit, in what room, with what weapon. I believe you can also play this on the internet with other friends through mediums like MSN messenger (copyright and all that jazz). Its got a darker feeling compared to the other games, and is well done but a bit confusing for younger players. Life is simple, you go through the "stages of life" after college, where the luck of the spinning wheel can make you a millionaire winner or a ho-hum average worker come retirement. Monopoly is much like the classic property buying game iwth a number of different gameplay options and cool graphics.

Finally there is the game that alone makes this pack worth it. Rollercoaster Tycoon, the best simulated theme park creator in the world, is based on a simple concept that you won't be able to stop playing. Be warned now its addicting. Basically htere are scenarios that you have to beat (as well as expansion packs you can pick up), such as "Have this many guests in your park" or "Generate this much through ticket sales". Its a really great game and both challenging with out being annoyingly hard.

All in all I would recommend this pack to families or people that like playing a game occasionally with out wanting to spend lots of money.
