Topic: UNO first impressions (NoA release)

Anyone shell out 300 more points for the American release?
Spill out your opinions right here. And please, for Pete's sake, this is not a fan thread!

It reminds me of that old, obsolete card game...what was it called now?

Well, I hope you weren't suckered in! I sure wonder what happened to what's-it's-name anyhow...

I am just as surprised as you are.

Hey, look on the bright side...it's under 9,000.

Think i'll pass.....

Just got it. But I'm heading to download TV Show King 2 before I even start playing this.

800 points? No thanks.

Well, I guess we'll need a gerbil to get any real feedback about the game.... oh, geek-master?

Oh, I'll definitely be coming back for feedback. Just give me some time.

I need 100 more points!I downloaded that stupid Dragon Quest Wars!I hate it for this!I wanted Uno!Uno really should have been 500 points.

Too expensive

Dragon Quest wars multiplayer is great.

800? What happened to 500?

Darn scalpers...
but for UNO to finally make it to NA.... (WIN!)

So, I just finished the 15-round Tournament. phew! Been playing for like 50 minutes already. It went on a little longer than it should... Oh well. After that, I'm 80% done already (in terms of unlockables).

Anyway, it exposed me to some of the new rules in the game and I really enjoy the new ways of playing one of my beloved card games. I really like the jump-in ability, for example. Any questions, lemme know. Off to TV Show King 2 for me.

@kucklesSonic WaltzElf was saying that the game has horrible loading times, and that it makes the game not fun. Is that true?

just played the game and the sound,graphics,and interface are outstanding. the loading times take like 7 sec

Horrible loading times? What? I've seen way worse. But I'm a very patient person. But even then, I hardly find the loading times to be "horrible". 10 seconds at the most, in many cases, even less.

I really enjoy the ability to unlock new backgrounds that not only change the appearance but the music as well - and there are some good ones mixed in there.

Also, perhaps NoA priced it at 800 to keep for consistency with all Gameloft titles on DSiWare?

Well, almost all Gameloft games are 800 points (except Castle of Magic).

I have beaten the Easy level in 38 minutes. It was worth the 800 points to hear my 2 1/2 year old giggle himself silly whenever the voice would say "Draw 2" or "Draw 4". As for the load times, it is pretty quick. It's not like it's loading during the game itself. If you want, take a quick 10 second potty break if need be.

I bet he'd laugh when a "Draw 8" comes up.
