Editorial Review

This handheld version of the classic Monopoly game comes complete with everything you need, even opponents! You choose up to three opponents out of five, each with a different skill level. There's also a banker--Rich Uncle Pennybags--who narrates the game as you play. Electronic "friends" aside, Monopoly Handheld plays just like the boardgame. In fact, the familiar game board is right on the face of the unit, so you know where you stand at all times. --Alison Golder ... Read more

great hand held fun!!
I purchased this game a few years ago, & although I don't play it as often as I used to, it certainly has not lost any of its appeal. One gripe would have to be the size of the writing on the border indicating the names of thre various properties .However, it's terrific fun for all ages. if you like Monopoly, then this could very well be great fun for those long journeys, or a rainy day stuck in the house.

Fun for everyone!
I got this toy for a road trip that I would be going on and thought it would just be a thing to hold me over for a couple hours. I was wrong. As soon as i opened it I played it all week. A little confusing in the beginning, but as soon as i got the hang of it, I loved it. It is perfect for anywhere anytime. It is just like the real game without the hassle of setting up the board. I was surprised on how realistic the sound effects were, and although they weren't exactly "correct" they sounded pretty real to me. Lots of enjoyment out of this toy.

Hooked on Monopoly
I love games and I love Monopoly.When this electronic version arrived in the mail I had a hard time not playing it.The only problem I have with it is that the screen is sometimes hard to read because it's not back-lit. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Test your memory and problem-solving skills with the ElectronicHand-Held Concentration game. Based on the long-running hit TVgame show, the game asks you to match words based on their position ina grid, then solve the liquid crystal rebus puzzle using the graduallyuncovered answers. It's a challenge, though the interface is easyenough that all but the most ham-fisted can navigate their way through.The display could be a little sharper, but it's still clear enough foryou to make out the elements you need to solve each puzzle. This isgreat for long trips or for commercial breaks--just remember yourplace! --Rob Lightner ... Read more

"CONCENTRATION" A classic goes high tech!
This hand held electronic game is SUPER!We have all loved the TV version for years! (For many it may have been the first game show we watched.) Years ago,I couldn't wait to get the home board game...But, thatgame had all those little cardboard parts. No so with the hand heldversion!This is Concentration "on the go!"I can't waitfor additional cartriges!The only improvement needed: Prizes behind thesquares (like the new board edition of "CONCENTRATION") insteadof words and points.

A good memory builder and enjoyable diversion for all ages
The aptly-named "Concentration" game requires just that... a lot of paying attention. If you're familiar with the TV show, you can't help but think of it as you play. Your kids certainly are familiar with thegame, as they have played it in school with pictures, rather thanwords.

The rebus puzzles are enjoyable and add to the adult value of thegame, but the only aim in solving them is to stop your opponent fromearning points, as they earn no points themselves. All points are formatching words revealed for a moment under each numbered tile. This isanother plus for kids as they are not penalized for not being able to solvethe rebus puzzle; they can beat you without it.

The game can be played in1-, 2- and 3-player variations. In the 1- and 2-player versions, onecomputer player joins in. The computer player does not cheat... rather itmakes mistakes just like people and occasionally gets a correct match, too.Sometimes the computer will just a make a "lucky guess" and getone out of thin air, just like you will. Sometimes it "explores thepuzzle" to open up parts of the rebus that haven't been revealed. Andsometimes it "learns from you," making a match which you justrevealed in your last move. This emulation of human behavior adds interestto the game and keeps you on your toes.

Another reviewer complained of amissing sound control; Tiger must have listened because mine has one. Youcan turn sound on or off anytime, which is nice. The unit also has anintuitive contrast control dial, unlike other Tiger games which use buttonsto control contrast (and only at certain times during the game). You canpick this up and play without instructions as gameplay is very obvious andeasy to follow. You can also play this with children, even if they can'tsolve the rebus puzzles -- since they are not penalized for that, as Imention.

Complaints? The Bonus Round is quite hard, especially since thecursor always moves back to square #1. It does this in the main game too,which is my other complaint. After you pick #5, for example, it would benice if the cursor stayed in that area, instead of making you move it from#1 every time.

What would I add to the game? A high score board withnames would be nice, since names are easy to type on the keyboard and addto the competition value among multiple players in a household. An optionto increase the pacing of the game, to make it even more challenging. And amore obvious cursor; sometimes it is hard to tell which number is selected.In dreamland, this game would be great in color and with fancy, TV-stylegraphics.

I understand that Tiger is coming out with 3 additional puzzlecartridges, as they have done for Wheel and other games. I enjoyed thismore than their new Wheel Deluxe, which I bought for a friend and playedwith for 5 minutes. Concentration is both easier (requires no skills) andharder (requires your FULL attention) than Wheel.

Concentration Fanatic!
I loved this game and as soon as I saw the commercial I immediately knew I wanted it.I got it for Christmas from Santa and he knew I wanted it, too! If you like to solve puzzles you'll love this game. ... Read more

I can't put it down!!
This game is a lot of fun! The only thing I would change about it, is to make it easier to read. You have to hold it just so to be able to read it. Other than that, if you're a fan of this game, you have to buy this hand held version! This is an awesome deal. I hope they do come out with some new cartridges!!

Where in the world are the cartridges for this thing?
As a big Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Regis Philbin fan i was so glad that they put out the show on a handheld version so my parents gave it to me for a early Halloween present two years ago.I actually won the million the first week I had it.Now on to the bad news even though the packaging promises cartidges for this game three years have passed and still no cartridges have been made.I've tried everything:ie e/mailing Tiger/Hasbro calling toy stores everywhere and just about everything.I think Tiger/Hasbro rushed this version and other non Millionaire games for the holiday season.This is one of the main Millionaire items I take to Disneyland to practice to play on the new Disneyland attraction of the same name called Play It.This is a good game and a good practice tool that should be taken on any Disneyland and/or Disney World trip Buy it if you can.

Fun and Educational Game
This product, to me, was sort of hard to read the questions given to you. I wouldn't reccomend it to someone who has trouble reading, or to a child 8 or under. I have gotten the millionth question right, I'll admit, but with great difficulties. I do think this toy is entertaining, once you are used to it. ... Read more
