Here is the first installment of our series of Magmic games reviews, starting with a classic among the classics: Monopoly.这里是第一分期付款,我们的一系列magmic游戏评语,一开始用经典当中的经典:垄断。
I had heard of other ports of this game to several computer platforms, from the ZX Spectrum (that should reveal my age) to the Windows OS.我曾听过其他港口的此游戏的几个电脑平台,从zx频谱(即应揭露我的年龄)到Windows操作系统。 But I never played any of them and always thought they must be really disappointing.但我从来没有扮演任何他们一直以为他们必须,实在令人失望。 I could be right, but not for the reasons I had in mind.我可以是正确的,但不是为理由,我心中想到的。 I thought that porting a board and dice game to the computer was something that had no chance of really working.我认为,移植的董事会和骰子游戏到计算机是一些没有机会真正的工作。 I was very wrong on that particular point.我是非常错误的关于这点。 I don’t know about the other ports, but this one really looks and feels like the real thing.我不知道其他的港口,但这个一看上去和真的感觉像是真正的事。 You roll the dice, move around the board, buy and sell property, go to prison, get out of prison, every little detail of this classic game is there.您滚动骰子,走动,董事会,购买和出售财产,去监狱,走出监狱,每一个小细节,这是经典游戏。 I felt like a child again.我觉得像一个孩子。 There are plenty of instructions on how to “use” the Blackberry game, but there are no instructions on how to play Monopoly.有很多的指示,就如何“使用”黑莓游戏,但有没有指示,就如何发挥垄断。 This port won’t teach you the rules.这个港口将不会教你规则。 That is not correct, but not completely unreasonable either.这是不正确的,但并非完全不合理。 Who doesn’t know the rules of Monopoly?谁不知道规则的垄断? OK, maybe your kids don’t, but that’s what parents are for.确定,也许您的孩子不这样做,但是那有什么家长。 ![]()
Up to four players can play and they can be human or robots managed by the software.多达四个球员可以发挥,他们可以人或机器人管理的软件。 In other words, you can play against the computer.在其他的话,你可以玩对计算机。 Here comes my first nag: pick the Race Car and the Wheelbarrow.说到这里我第一次拿:选择赛车和独轮车。 The Dog is not too bad either.狗是不算太坏。 The problem is that some of the characters move around the board too slowly and/or clumsily, enough to be annoying.问题是,某些字符走动,董事会过于缓慢和/或clumsily ,足以让恼人的。 The Race Car and the Wheelbarrow have wheels, so they glide smoothly.该赛车和独轮车有轮子,所以他们滑翔的顺利进行。 I didn’t test all characters to be honest.我没有测试所有字符必须诚实。 But some of them annoyed me right away.但他们中的一些烦恼我的权利。
Everyone starts off with a certain (configurable) amount of Monopoly money.每个人都开始过与某(配置)金额垄断的钱。 I’m sure you have seen and held it in your hands before.我敢肯定,你们所看到的和举行它在你们的手中之前。
You’ll need that money to buy property, build your monopolies and rip off each one of your opponents.您需要钱购买的财产,建立您的垄断和RIP小康的每一个你的对手。 You also need the dough to pay for many expenses, because your opponents will rip you off too, sure enough.您还需要面团要付出很多的费用,因为你的对手将撷取你过太,果然。 Every turn of the game works pretty much like the real one: you roll the dice, face the consequences and let the other player(s) do the same.每之交的游戏作品非常喜欢真正的1 :你滚动骰子,面对后果,并让其他播放器( )同样这样做。 In between turns, anyone can buy, sell, mortgage or improve property.在之间轮流,任何人都可以购买,出售,抵押或改善的财产。 This version of Monopoly has done a marvelous job reproducing the traditional board game and proving that it is indeed possible and can be very enjoyable.这个版本的垄断,已做了精彩的工作,再现传统的棋盘游戏,并证明它确实有可能和可以是很愉快。 I had the greatest time playing it for a few minutes.我有最大的发挥它的时间为数分钟。 But it really disappointed me in ways I could not expect.但它真的失望,我的方式我不能期望。
Let me start with the minor flaw: multiplayer.让我先与小缺陷:多人。 Up to four players can play and all of them can be humans, but not via the Internet or even Bluetooth.多达4个玩家可以发挥他们都可以对人类,而不是透过网际网路或什至蓝牙。 What the heck?什么赫克? What is the point then?又有什么意思呢? Are you going to pass the phone around and have all the other players stare at the current player staring down at a phone?你要通过电话和周围的所有其他球员盯在目前的播放器凝视下,在一个电话? Really?真的吗? Come on.来对。 I said that is a minor flaw.我说是一个小的缺陷。 It is to me.这是给我。 I’m sure many people will have a big problem with that, but I still think it’s no big deal as long as I can play against the computer.我敢肯定,很多人都会有一个大问题,但我仍然认为它没有什么大不了,只要我可以发挥对计算机。 Face it: this is about you and your phone in a really boring and lonely moment.面对它:这是有关您和您的电话在一个真正的沉闷和孤独的时刻。 If you had any company, you would strike up some conversation, not play Monopoly.如果您有任何公司,你会罢工了一些谈话,而不是发挥垄断。 You’re almost certainly going to be on your own challenging the software.您几乎可以肯定,将会对自己的挑战软件。 But that is sort of a disappointment too.不过,这是一种令人失望的太多。 The robot players are too dumb.机器人球员过于笨拙。 I lost the first time I played it - cut me some slack, I hadn’t played Monopoly in decades!我失去了我第一次在发挥它-削减我的一些涣散,我没有发挥的垄断,几十年来! - but then I played several other times against one, two and three robot players in the hardest level and I drove them all into bankruptcy in more or less twenty minutes every time because they’re such losers. -但后来我扮演的其他几个时代对一,二和三机器人选手中,最难的水平,我将它们全部破产,在更多或更少,每2 0分钟的时间,因为他们是这样的输家。 The only real enemy I had were the dice.唯一的真正的敌人,我被骰子。 They were not very nice to me sometimes.他们不是对我很好,有时。
So you can’t play against real people and the artificial intelligence is substandard to say the least.所以你不能真正发挥对人民和人工智能是不合至少可以这样说。 Is there any fun left?是否有任何有趣的离开呢? There is quite some fun left because the game really feels like the real thing and you can spend some enjoyable time just rolling dice and ripping off everyone in town.有相当一些有趣的离开,因为游戏真的感觉像是真正的事,您可以花一些时间,刚才愉快的滚动骰子,并撷取小康每个人都在城市。 Who cares if it’s too easy?谁在乎,如果它的太容易? Let’s just get filthy rich and kill some time.让正义得到肮脏的丰富和杀死一些时间。 But even that kind of foolish self gratification will run into obstacles.但即使这样,种愚蠢的自我满足,将运行到的障碍。 Summing up, whoever designed this game is guilty of a small series of very serious usability blunders.总结起来,谁设计的游戏,这是犯了一个小型的一系列非常严重的可用性失误。
Any player - including robot players - can buy, sell, mortgage or improve property BEFORE and AFTER each turn.任何球员-包括机器人球员-可以购买,出售,抵押或改善物业之前和之后的每之交。 That is the first part of the problem: you will find yourself hitting “Roll” or “Continue” on a menu way too often.这是第一部分的问题:你会发现自己打“滚”或“继续”就一个菜单的方式,往往。 WAY too often.方式往往。 On top of that, if you have any property that a robot player wants to buy, it will PESTER you twice, before and after it rolls the dice, and in every single turn.最重要的是,如果您有任何财产,机器人球员要购买,它将pester你两次,之前和之后,这卷骰子,并在每一个单一的好转。 If you think that Yang has problems with Ballmer breathing down his neck to buy Yahoo, wait until you play the Blackberry version of Monopoly.如果你认为杨有问题鲍尔默呼吸下来他的脖子,以购买雅虎,等到你发挥黑莓版本的垄断。 And you have to confirm every single darn dice roll too, even if it is a robot’s turn to play.你必须确认每一个单一的石坝骰子辊太,即使它是一个机器人的转向发挥。 The robot will keep pestering you until you accept the offer.机器人会继续纠缠你,直到你接受这项提议。 You can reject it, of course.你可以拒绝它,当然。 How?如何? You press the Menu key then the trackball or Enter key.您按下菜单键,然后轨迹球或Enter键。 You will soon notice that pressing any of those two key combinations is not very comfortable, especially when you have to do that over and over and over.你会尽快通知迫切的任何两个组合键是不是很舒服,尤其是当你有这样做以上和超过以上。 I couldn’t get used to it although I had to do it a lot.我不能习惯它,虽然我已做了很多。
And it gets worse.它进一步恶化。 Improving or mortgaging property requires the following steps: scroll through your properties and click the trackball; then select Build or Mortgage in a really tiny menu controlled by a trackball that has no precision whatsoever and is sure to have you click the wrong option most of the time.改善或抵押财产的规定,下列步骤:翻阅您的属性,然后按一下轨迹球;然后选择建立或抵押贷款,在一个真正的小菜单控制由一个轨迹球认为,没有精确的话,是肯定有您按一下错误的选择,大部分的时间。 The same “loose” trackball will roll around like an idiot while you try to select the right number of houses to build or property to mortgage.同时, “松散”轨迹球将推出大约像白痴,而您尝试选择正确的住房数量,以建立或财产抵押。 OK, 10% of all this grief is the trackball’s fault, but 90% really is the game’s.确定, 10 %的这一切,悲痛是轨迹球的过错,但90 % ,真的是游戏的。 When you have finally made your selection, you can’t just exit this horrible screen.当你终于有了您的选择,你不能只是退出这一可怕的画面。 No. You go back to that first scroll and scroll up very carefully back to the top (you will miss it a few times, that’s for sure), where you’re supposed to click the trackball once again, select “Back” or “Accept” in another tiny menu where the damn trackball wobbles around unsure once again and, finally, hit the trackball once again.号,你回去,首先翻阅及向上滚动,非常仔细地回到顶端(你会怀念它几倍,这是肯定的) ,而您要请按一下轨迹球再次,选择“返回”或“接受”在另一个小菜单那里可恶轨迹球wobbles左右不确定再次,最后击中轨迹球再次。 There is a lot of “once again” in this game’s interface.有很多“再次”在这场游戏中的界面。 Apparently, it’s by design.显然,它的设计所导致的。
What about trading property?什么交易的财产呢? Well, first you select whatever you want to buy or sell.那么,首先你选择,无论你想买进或卖出。 Then you scroll (with the wobbling trackball) up to the amount icon, press the trackball and select how much money you want to pay or receive for the transaction.然后你翻阅(与抖动轨迹球)最高限额为图标,按下轨迹球,并选取了多少钱,您所愿意支付或收到的交易。 Then you do your best to scroll with the wobbling trackball up to the icon that represents you (and you will miss it a few times, that’s for sure too).然后你做你最好的滚动与抖动轨迹球最多的图标代表你(和你会怀念它几倍,这是肯定的太) 。 Then you hit the trackball and you hit the trackball AGAIN to get past a frigging warning that is very useful the very first time you see it but will drive you crazy in every one of all other times because you already know whatever it is telling you and, by golly, you don’t want to see it again ever for the rest of your life, but it will keep popping up over and over and over and over and over… Then you get - just hear this - yet another confirmation that makes you hit the trackball twice.然后你击中轨迹球和你击中轨迹球再次获得过去一frigging警告说,是非常有益的非常您第一次看到它,但将驱动器,你疯了,在每一个其他所有时间,因为你已经知道什么,这是告诉你,和,由golly ,你不希望看到它再次以往任何时候都至于其余的你的生活,但它会继续出现超过及以上及以上及以上及以上…那么,你-刚听到这个-又一次确认这使得你击中轨迹球的两倍。 Again.再次。 Then you have to see if the other party accepts the deal.然后,你必须看到,如果另一方当事人接受处理。 If they don’t, you can change some of the conditions and go over all that trouble again.如果他们不这样做,你可以改变一些条件和走所有的麻烦。 Rinse and repeat.冲洗和重复。 Or simply give up, which requires that annoying Menu key then the trackball or Enter key combination I mentioned before.或干脆放弃,这就要求恼人的菜单中的关键的话,轨迹球或输入组合键我前面提到的。 Because a lot of stuff requires confirmation in this game, buddy.因为很多东西需要确认在这场游戏中,好友。 Sometimes, twice.有时候,两次。 You’re messing with Monopoly money, you don’t wanna make any mistakes, do ya?您梅辛与垄断的钱,你不想做任何错误,做亚?
So here is pretty much the summary of this game: a classical and very entertaining game almost entirely ruined by really annoying interface design and some bleak lack of real opponents.因此,在这里是非常的总结此游戏:古典和非常娱乐性的游戏几乎完全破坏,实在恼人的界面设计和一些黯淡,缺乏真正的对手。 I really don’t know how I should rate this game.我真的不知道我应该如何评价这个游戏。 On the one hand, I had quite some fun playing (or trying to play) it.在一方面,我已相当一些有趣的玩(或试图播放) 。 On the other hand, after one week, I am more than ready to uninstall it because there is no challenge in it and I am REALLY sick of so much clicking and confirming.在另一方面,后一周,我多准备卸载它,因为没有挑战,它和我真的生病这么多点击和确认。 You had better judge it by yourselves.你有更好的判断它自己。 I swear it’s not that bad in the first hour or so.我发誓这并不是说不好,在第一个小时或如此。 After that, you’re on your own.之后,您对您自己。
Pros: very good reproduction of the actual board game. 利弊:很好的复制实际的棋盘游戏。
Cons: virtually no artificial intelligence leaves you with no interesting opponents; repeated interface design blunders may anger many users. 意见:几乎没有人工情报叶片您没有有趣的对手;一再界面设计失误,可能会愤怒,许多用户。
