Customer Review: Fun, but not a breakthrough in chess games
I am a chess fan, but Ill just let you know. I am really in to the new games like Half-Life 2 and DOOM 3, for the PC. I expect to play PC games that borderline my graphics card capabilities. What I’m trying to say, is that this game looks like a quickly put together game. Not surprising for a price of $10. You should never expect a great game for that price. Unless its a classic favorite, like DOOM 2. Just don’t expect anything astounding from eGames 3D Chess.
It may be 3D Chess, but I’ve seen games with 10 fold, in better graphics.(not an actual estamate)
You can change the skin of the chess pieces and the pieces themselves(which is nice), as well as the chess boards. My only two complaints are, the extra skins can be confusing. If you choose the wrong skin for a chessboard, the chess pieces may blend into eachother as well as the board. This would have improved with better graphics. Trust me, this game is no amazing 3D game, compared to most other games these days. SO, this makes it hard to know what pieces are where, if a skin blends with the board. Fortunatly, there is a rotating camera. Another thing I am having trouble with is loading the egames website that has the extra chess set downloads (which would be a good thing if it worked). I havent recieved a response from support yet, on how to get them yet. So, the only thing keeping me playing, is my love for chess. But, I would choose any other PC game, over it.
If you really want a good chess game, check out Chessmaster 10th Edition.
Customer Review: Great Fun and Value
More than I expected for $10.

Don’t know what mconstruction7 is seeing. It is in 3D, is very stable and requires DirectX 9, certainly not a “DOS” game.
