Touchmaster 3 (Nintendo DS)

I got this for Christmas and have spent the past week playing it. Some of the games i like. The poker aspect doesn't bother me, although I would have really preferred more solitaire type games than poker ones.

Some of the other games, like Fuse Line and Domino Run and the slime pipe ones, I'd swear that the game is programmed to keep you from winning, because it reaches an impossible level that is beyond frustrating. The game will not give you the pieces you need, or or 'critters' that will destroy your fuse line no matter where you put it.

like some have said, I've found myself finding out the goals and playing just to accomplish them. And once I have the 25/25 points, eh, not much to work for beyond just playing it. I liked TM2's 'top ten scores'.

The graphics are nice, but the instruction book tells you nothing about any hints or tricks of the games, so you'll usually end up 'dying' many times over just to figure out 'capture the yellow ones and you get another life'

I would like a pause function. I played Prismatix for almost an hour and it's nearly impossible to keep doing that without getting a headache.

So, it's fun but far from perfect. Nowhere near as frustrating and 'bad' as Margot's Word Game or Jenga or Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader...but it's not as good as its predecessors.

TOUCHMASTER has done it again!! I have all three of these games and play all

the time. Graphics are so good these are a must to buy as you have lots of

fun games to choose from.

I only really play two games on this version. I just don't care for the card games. I do not play chess. But I do like the pipe game that is really a game of pipe dream. I play that for a while then go to another game. Was it worth the money? probably not. They will have a ways to go to beat the touchmaster one game. I have tried two times to buy another version of touchmaster, in game 2 and 3, but alas, game one is still the best of the three.
