Word junkies beware--Ubi Soft's latest version of Scrabble will have you tongue-tied and sitting at your computer for hours on end as you battle your spelling wits against others or the computer. The Scrabble board is simple and clear--the options that are available to you are all there at the click of the mouse. This is a comprehensive version of Scrabble and no option is left unturned. But it is not just scrabble that this game offers and Ubi Soft has done well to expand the game further by adding five other gaming modes including duplicate mode, conundrum, and anagram. Also included is a game for the hardened Scrabble fan, where you have a certain number of rounds to achieve a certain number of points from a game that is half way through. In comparison to your first person shooters or real time strategy games, the graphics of this delightful title may seem slightly simple--they are however very polished, presenting you with a menu system and game play that are both easily understandable. Unlike the Sierra card and board gaming titles that see you pit yourself against the likes of aliens and cowboys, this scrabble is firmly suited to the more serious player. This is shown with the accompanying classical soundtrack it gets you straight into the mood for that word showdown with friends and family. --Jason Denwood
