Casual Game Timed???, Oct 14 2011

I am a long time fan of Mahjong, been playing it for years. I picked up this game, popped it in my 3DS and started playing it and I thought it was awesome!!! After a while the levels got harder and I noticed they were timed. I went into the options to turn off the timed feature and found out you cannot turn off the timed feature until after you beat the level, that did it for me!!!
I am a casual player and to me Mahjong has always been a casual game to relax with. Knowing that it is timed and having to rush to beat the clock really killed this game for me!! Why not make it the gamer's choice to play it timed or not. Having it set so you can take it off the timed feature after you beat it, does not make sense to me. Good luck first timers!
If you like Timed games this is for you, if not pass this one up!!!

I am not much of a puzzle gamer, but I love Mahjong! My wife got me this for Christmas as a stocking stuffer...great idea and it was fun at first, but when you really get to playing it, it's kind of a let down. It would have been a whole lot better with the use of the stylus, but instead you control the cube movements and selections and everything with control pad...it's kinda slow & tedious to handle, and this especially sucks when you start getting timed. I think it's a good idea, but it would have functioned a lot better with the use of the stylus. I played this a few times and then traded it in toward a different 3DS game.

I enjoyed this mahjong game very much. Thank goodness for the tutorial for I don't like reading instructions, but you have to use the circle control, the left and right button and the + control pad to be able to operate the game. I am glad the 3ds console was small enough to handle, for I have neuopathy of the hand and fingers and it didn't bother me.
Went through the first 20 games and now am playing the Classic Mode. I am glad that I spent 18.99 for the game for that is my 3rd 3ds game that I've purchased since I bought my console. I bought Zelda and Sims Pets and have played Mahjong 5 times longer than the other games.
Also I went to Chinese school over 51 years ago and still recognize a lot of the characters which makes it easier to play. All in all...I've enjoyed the game very much.
