Comments on: 'Boggle' - The Latest Addition to EA's Classic Games http://toucharcade.com/2009/08/31/boggle-the-latest-addition-to-eas-classic-games/ ... keeping in touch with the latest in iPhone gaming Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:35:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: JPatSoCal http://toucharcade.com/2009/08/31/boggle-the-latest-addition-to-eas-classic-games/#comment-58302 JPatSoCal Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:00:27 +0000 http://toucharcade.com/?p=17693#comment-58302 This game was fun...for the first few times. Then not so much. Too many words that aren't real words (cwl is a word?) and some words (anatomical ones) mysteriously missing. Example is it accepted penile but not the noun form. Not configurable, can't change minimum word length, length of play, etc. I am trying the other games and expect that they can't help but be better. This game was fun...for the first few times.

The most recent 14 reviews contain 12 one-star reviews and 2 two-star reviews. I don't think there's any way around it: EA employees submitting five-star reviews the second the application gets on the store. Actual users tend to write one-star reviews.

I must confess though, I'd have a hard time justifying the purchase right now with both Quordy and Wurdle on my iPhone already. However, this does look very polished and slick, and I'm glad to see it finally available, and for all I know, it might be good enough to replace all the other similar titles.
