Summary: So, which OS does this game work with?
Review: Although the web page says game is for Windows XP, when I received it, the packaging says Windows 95/98--I don't know if the web page is wrong or I was shipped the incorrect game--either way, I have sent an e-mail about this and will post the response--by the way, I will not eat the cost of return shipment as the game only $10, also I am going ahead and loading the game to see if it will work but I still expect some sort of action from Amazon for posting incorrect info about the product.

Summary: A-OK (Triple Point Score)!
Review: Amazon was MORE than willing to take the game back and apologized for the erroneous info but I loaded the game anyway and discovered it works on XP fine but only if I am playing Maven--for some reason when trying to download the patch to play on-line thru MSN Gaming Zone, the download won't take--that didn't matter and the game is fun enough as is but I'd like to see a XP version for Maven and on-line play come out soon!

Summary: What? No bonus points??!!
Review: I love playing Scrabble with my boyfriend and thought that this would be fun for when we can't play together. Boy was I wrong! I mean, it worked just fine and was fun to play but what's up with the scoring system? When I build a word off of another word that had bonus score tiles, I didn't get the bonus. I got cheated out of points! The scoring system totally sucks but it's still fun to play and will hopefully help me with my game. Stick to the board game, way more fun!

Summary: Great Game
Review: I loved this game when I had Windows 98. It worked well on-line and off-line in W98, and is full of features to help you improve your level of play. A few features would not work when I loaded it onto Windows ME when I inherited a laptop running ME. But they were minor issues, and I played anyway. But that laptop died and now I have a new laptop with XP, and when I try to play Scrabble 2 on it, I just get a black screen that freezes my system. The problem may be the DirectX version in XP (version 9, maybe?), which would not let me write over itself with the version that comes with Scrabble 2 (version 6.1, I think). And God only knows what other things on my machine would quit working if I were succesful at replacing the newest DirectX with an older version. So if you are still using Win98 or ME, absolutely go for it. But until Scrabble is re-written to work reliably for everyone using XP, don't buy it for that system.

Summary: Works Perfect on XP
Review: I read some commentary online where people were having problems running this game on Win XP. I have XP and haven't had any problems. I did download the patch from the atari community website before I started, so maybe that prevented any issues. But if you like Scrabble, but have a hard time rallying family members to play, this game is great. Its very easy to use the interface, and single player games will definitely improve your Scrabble skill - particularly when you're stumped and you use the hint feature. The computer will give you ideas that help you see opportunities for wordplay, and thereby strengthen your game. The multiple skill levels are very helpful. Currently I play against the intermediate skill level and the games are very close. I tried multiplayer against a family member, and found that as long as both parties have the patch it works great. My only complaint is that the font used for the chat window is slightly difficult to read, and I don't see a way to change it. That's a minor complaint, however. When you consider the low price, this game is a good, fun, cheap investment.

Summary: A Good Rendition of the Classic Board Game
Review: I've enjoyed playing Scrabble for years, so I was glad that I found this version for my home computer. The graphics are really cool, and the background music makes the game more fun to play. Also, this version works fine on Microsoft XP despite saying that it required Windows 95 or 98. The installation was very easy and the directions were easy to follow. I give this game my highest recommendation. It is loads of fun and will keep you busy for hours at a time.

Review: This does work perfectly on Win 98, but will not work on XP or ME (the other two machines I have tried it on). Just so folks know.
